Here we go again...

Bruton to make offer to buy NHRA: Speedway Motorsports [SMI] track owner Bruton Smith [Lowe's Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Bristol, Texas, Infineon Raceway] says SMI will make a formal presentation in the next seven to ten days to purchase the National Hot Rod Association [NHRA]. The proposal was to be made last week however due to the death of the wife of NHRA director Wally Parks the meeting was postponed. “I hope that (the presentation) will mean something”, said Smith, "but we haven’t bought it yet. I expect to buy it but when I don’t know. They approached me about selling to me…that was the first indication and of course I got interested and so I’m still interested. They do what we do but in a different way…they forget to turn left…they go straight but they sell tickets and that’s what we do. If I buy it we’ll be doing the same thing.” If SMI completes purchase of the drag racing series Smith says the headquarters would be moved from Glendora, California to Las Vegas. - http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm

 

I hope it happens. The move to Vegas. Swell. Cocktails, stripppers, Drag Racing. A perfect combo. Now if they would only make my buddy Cameron Evans the Pres of BHRA( Brutons Hot Rod animals) This would be great.

See ya'll at the diggs

 

Hey Don, I have never met you but we have a common friend in Stanman. I was at infineon for the crash a few years back and was glad you were okay even if the car wasn't. I have some pics of the old chase chevy dragster on my comp if you want me to e-mail them to you. Good luck at the races and maybe I will make it by your pits this year and introduce myself.

 

Hi John, I would like to see any pics you have. Stop by anytime. Stanman rocks.(with shaved poodles and dwarfs) not really just the poodles...
