Interesting... How does this affect Don's plans to be the tire supplier to FASCAR, and to operate the touring series?

Jane I hope you don't mind - I reposted this on FL Auto Racing.com

[Sandy Nerone]

It does not interfer with being the tire supplier or the Tour Manager. Tires will still be done the same way at each track and our Tours will still run with each track. We are not divorced from FASCAR, just doing our own track. See there goes that rumor mind working again.

Tires

When will we be able to purchase tires at Columbia? I understand that all the tires and the tire machine were take to NSS. Also, will Tim Lake still be the promotor/race director?

[Sandy Nerone]

Tires will be available next Friday at practice. Tim will be working marketing for the race track.

Good luck with the track I hope you can bring up the car counts because it is a nice track to watch racing on.I wish you the best because I want to see the track survive and thrive.I think they have a good fan base there so hopefully it will prosper.

I also wish you the best of luck with the new track. I know it is a lot of responsibility taking on the task of running a race track, I helped with this as a teenager.

When will tires be available for OSW? I see that Super Stocks are going to tread tires and will need some whenever our car is finished.

Best of luck and hope things go great!

Good luck. Hope there aren't to many irons in the fire you to two.

Please post the correct phone numbers for the track and track manager

Thank you

The track phone number should be the same number on the web-site, that was not changed. To reach Don or Sandy Nerone, call 386-547-5152 Don or 386-547-5153 Sandy. Tim no longer has his cell phone so give them a call if you need anything.
