County and Speedway updates!

Hi Everyone!

We apologize for the gap between our last posting.  It has been extremely busy, but productive, with all the meetings and negotiations behind the scenes.  From the county, to tire manufactures, vendors, NASCAR, ASA, to sponsors and civic groups, we are covering lots of topics in preparations for our 2011 Racing Season.  We could not be more pleased on how much progress has been made in a relatively short time. As we transition into our new role we want to continue to thank the fans, the drivers and the community for your interest, insight, and passion to make Evergreen Speedway the best it can be. It seems almost on a hourly basis that our team or the racing community comes up with great ideas for the near future!  We know the end results will be great for all.  The emphasis in the beginning is to bring in some new equipment, much needed painting and remodeling of many of the Grandstand and office facilities. Our new contract provides our team with a 25 year agreement with the county. Given the length of the contract, we are excited to commit our resources and experience to restore the heritage of Evergreen Speedway.  Everything will not be done within a 1 or 2 year window. ( unless we hit Mega Millions.. lol )...Barriers, PA, Lights, Suites, track resurfacing, score boards to name a few are on our short list. These are over and above a groomed infield, painted walls, grandstands and restrooms brought up to new standards.  Much progress has been made with the food vendor, Premiere.
Our goal is to create a great working relationship between the teams and drivers, the county, the track and the food provider.  Communication and Cooperation will be key components to everything High Road Promotions does with all of our business partners. Together, we will make Evergreen Speedway the premiere venue for racing, and year round entertainment events. 

Without addressing each and everyone individually, it is nearly impossible to stress the importance of the relationships we need to develop, to be completely successful.  By successful, I mean a facility to be proud of, a track that any driver would love to compete on, a community that understands the passion of our sport, and the ability for all our teams to compete at an economical level.

thank you,

Doug, Steve and Traci
