Perfect...

That will leave the eight Canterbury residents calling themselves Concerned Racetrack Neighbors holding the bag when the two races are removed, along with 2,500 jobs and tens of millions in economic activity.

Sounds like a plan...

I'm sure they will sleep very well at night with no intrest in the major league hose job they might create. Too bad, thats a lot more fund raiser cookies we all need to buy.

Excellent article in the Union Leader that points out that both the State and local communities must be willing to work closely with the new owners. Of particular concern is that if major expansions are not entertained at the track, at least one race date could be moved to another venue.

Anyway, excellent analysis can be read further HERE at the on-line edition of the Union Leader.

Skip, Thanks for posting the ariticle. Cooperation from the State and towns will definately be a major issue, when the future of the track is at stake. It seems from earlier posts that the There where some major restrictions on expansion. And if the new owners are held to those restrictions, we might be witnessing the begininng of the end. SMI is a huge company indeed worried about profits, and one thing can be taken as fact, they will only further develop something that can see as growing and producing more and more profits for them.

"The 92,000-seat speedway, run by Bob and Gary Bahre of Alton for nearly 20 years, changed hands Friday in a $340 million cash deal".

Well, maybe now Bahre will be able to spruce up his lakeside house. Finally.

It would indeed be sad if the few ruined it for the majority. However if the original Pact, is transfered to the new owners SMI, as I imagine it was..... it is already a negative.
