Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day and a good Black Friday. Today we wanted to give a few updates as our list of new followers continue to grow.
The WARPA Conference last weekend gave us a chance to sit down with track promoters, touring groups, fuel and tire reps and many friends. Out of the meetings came some positive feedback concerning rules, scheduling of events, and a general consensus that our sport needs to create a new level of communication and cooperation with its tracks and teams. Focusing on cost containment, developing youth programs, streamlining cross promotional rules programs, growing fan base, and generally educating the market on the value and benefits of racing in their communities. This not only helps the tracks, it also makes it easier for drivers and teams to acquire sponsors.
The upcoming promoters conferences in Reno, plus the NASCAR banquet and networking in Charlotte will keep us busy early in the month. Out of these meetings, we will finalize our rules, schedules and marketing programs for the 2011 season.
The upcoming former employees meeting on Tuesday will give an outline of how High Road Promotions will plan, organize and implement its upcoming operations. Delays in replacing the roof, removing the water, and a complete remodel of the race office will postpone move-in until late December. Continued amendments to our contract agreement with the County have delayed events scheduling. An expanded role, in addition to our racing program, has created more legalese and areas of responsibilities. We All look forward to the day the ink is completely dry!!
Rules: This is an area we Really appreciate all of the input, emails, phone calls and meeting attendance.
After literally hundreds of notes and suggestions, we are getting close on the rules. On that note, with so many teams and individuals volunteering to be on a rules committee, we are probably not going to publish the final rules by committee. There has been enough controversy and hear say in the past, we do not want to alienate anyone.
Whether you made a meeting or gave us your suggestions through email, they have all count!
Our goal is to have all of the rules posted before Christmas.
