Keith your a f**kin idiot, always have been.I hope to god you read this because your the reason racers quit comeing there to start with.You and your 1 tooth up in peoples face all the time sucks.Face it you couldnt make it so you wanta make it impossible for another to try.They should have jailed your a** when you pulled the gun.That would have done all of us a favor,we wouldnt have had to smell your stinkin a** breath any longer.But not to worry,the Park is used to takeing out the trash,they did it once before.Have a nice day.

Geez Beretta, tell us how you really feel. Todd, I thought that was supposed to be top secret? Tim, like we talked about Sunday, I still have the $2500 check I committed to you a month ago. just let me know what way you are going. To EVERYONE ELSE, that was before Keith decided to not let Tim and I test out his timing system. The attitude was 'as is where is' TFB if it don't work. I think every racer out there will back me in my decision to with-hold the money because of this.

Ok, just a few things I wanna get out to everyone! 1st off, Bill Benson who ran Sunset Dragstrip is willing to try and hook his equipment up as one resort. This however will require new wiring , receptacles, conduit, & running it all because if we don't buy keiths, he is taking his. However, I talked to Keith this evening, May 14, 2013 and he is willing to make me a deal on his equipment and has further agreed (if we buy a tree), he will come down and make sure everything is operational, "up & running", this includes everything minus a tree & the cooler in concession stand for an agreed upon price..the only other thing needed will be a pa system..I have in my posession, the signed lease from the County Commissioners. Keith has further agreed that he will notify the commissioners & the park board that he is all done there and does not need anymore time to get his stuff. We can then get into the track before the June 6th date..I could have everything waiting, insurance, licenses for concession, glue, rosin, ect..ect...so I ask all of you racers out there to please band together and lets raise some money to get this thing going..I need everyone who has stated that they wanted to either lend money or donate to do so now!!! Also, anyone wanting a spot for their motor homes or race car trailers. please send your $100 fee to me at Timothy E Galloway 1890 Parkway East Liverpool Ohio 43920 asap. The sooner we get this money, the sooner we could be racing...as for the board considering anyone else to lease the track to, they do not wish to at this particular time...It was put to me that they had a heck of a time to get me approved for the lease as they were seriously considering not opening a track there again...so, I personally want to ask everyone for their help...as I stated to several people already, those of you not wishing to just donate, or sponsor, I'll make sure you get paid your money back. It may take a while, but I assure you, it WILL be paid...If this track don't happen this year, I'm afraid it won't ever happen...just repeating what was put to me...Thanks...

I personally don't care which way we go with the equipment but it would probably be easier with Keiths since the wiring is already in tact...I also want to personally thank those of you who have donated already..."you know who you are"! So come on folks...."we may not have the best track, or we may not pay the biggest purses, we may agree & dis agree on things...but what we do have is "hospitality" we are all like one BIG FAMILY!!!!!!I ask for your help to keep this track here!!!! I don't know about you, but, I personally look forward to coming to our track every week...and seeing all of you and any new comers....racers who do come there from else where always are made to feel at home.....Thank each & everyone of you !!!

Robin, thanks, but we are still going to make up the race programs..we are just getting off to a late start. I had to be voted in by the board & county commissioners, then I must wait until June 6th to get new keys and also that is the date for keith to be done getting what he needs. Thanks...Tim...

Well folks, I think things may be finally starting to come together. I received the signed lease from the board. It is officially mine. Only thing now is working on the timing equipment! I have been corresponding with Keith in regards to his equipment, but, if it don't pan out, I have another person I'm dealing with on equipment. I have to wait & see what all Keith takes out of there to let me know what I have to get to be operational. Again, we are accepting all donations for help with getting this track open.. If it don't happen this year, I don't think it will ever happen again and the track will be a thing from the past. Thanks Tim

Ok! This is what we are shooting for!!! Supposed to meet this weekend to purchase & install the timing equipment! We are having Porta Tree wire us a new tree adaptable to the plug in on the wall ...keith don't want to part with his tree as he uses it for his practice tree. He agreed that after purchasing his equipment, he agreed to give me everything to open & operate the track minus the tree. he even is going to let me make payment arrangements on the cooler.. he is in agreement to write us the letter required by the park bd. saying that he is all done there and we then can get in before the June 5th date they give him to be out by!! We can then get in there sooner! after installing the equipment, we will be scraping the track, painting, cutting grass, weed wacking ect... I have been in contact with the utility companies as well as the insurance company and they are just waiting on my word...I am shooting for possibly opening the 1st saturday in June... if not ready by then, then I definetly want to be open for the 2nd week. (hopefully, it will be the 1st weekend) in June...please keep track on this message board for further details & updates...I want to thank everyone who made this possible ( you know who you are) and I want to further thank you all for your patience with us getting off to a late start..Next year we WILL BE ON TIME!!! Thanks....Tim...

Wanted to send out thanks to Keith, Regina, Ben & Beverly for all your hard work "all day long" in seeing the track up & running!!! Yes people, the track was set up today!!! We made a bunch of practice runs and all is looking good with the timing system. The glue & rosin was picked up as well. All that is needed now is turn the rest of the utilities on, get the insurance coverage, get the food license, and cut the grass & weed wack...It needs done bad..The grass out there is up to our knees...Oh yes, we need to do a little painting & some odds & ends. Hopefully I can get the stuff done this week coming up and do a little t&t Saturday...I cannot promise it though. All depends on how long it takes to get the insurance coverage..We WILL be open for sure 2 Fridays from now...As I said, I must say that Keith stayed all day to assure the track was up and running. We left on good terms with each other and that's a good thing...he as well as Ben & Bev & Regina did a whole lot of work out the track today...It was an all day affair!!Keith even signed the paper required by the park board permitting me to get into the track before the June 5th date. I thank him for that as well...so just a little longer people and we will be racing......yee hah!!!!please follow this message board for more details on opening....
