Happy New Year!

We want to wish each and everyone a very Happy New Year. The promise of a brighter tomorrow, all those hard to keep resolutions ( the intent in always there! ), the chance to do over, the next big step in our lives, the opportunities are endless......The awesome thing is, we all are free to, as Southwest says " to move about the Country". All of us possess the will to create great things, make a difference in someones life, give back to those less fortunate, and simply, lend a helping hand. As we approach Opening Night 2011, we are very humbled to have the opportunities to work with many of you in the racing, business, and civic communities, as well as charity organizations and military installations. Looking forward to the future, I am reminded of a famous quote.

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others

We hope everyone has a safe, fun and exciting time tonight!

From High Road Promotions a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Renegade V8 Class

I would like to hear from anyone in regards to the Renegade V8 class.  There seems to be some renewed interest to keep it going in 2011.  Please email me at evergreenrules@hotmail.com if you were intending to run in this class. Visit the evergreenspeedway.com website for last years rules.

We should be in control of evergreenspeedway.com after the first of the year. At that time we will transition our blog and updates to that site.  For now, stay tuned here!

2011 Rules and Updates / Confusion / Clarification

As everyone knows, Five months ago, High Road Promotions was awarded the operating agreement from Snohomish County to operate Evergreen Speedway year round for the next 25 years. The contract also includes a major role in year round entertainment and marketing assistance for the County.

This process along with many other delays has put us at least 90 days behind where we anticipated being with the July announcement. Our move-in to the County should occur around January 15th.

Our commitment to the racing community has been to restore and rebuild Evergreen Speedway.
That will never change. We are trying to do everything possible in relationship to communication  and  transformation into a new era of racing. In this process, we may have stated some changes that created more confusion. Please accept our apologies if this is the case. Our goal from the beginning has been to create fair, consistent, economical rules.  Rules that overlap local and regional tracks to attract the best drivers and teams for first class racing. The overall fan experience, as well as the racers satisfaction are the key objectives.

High Road Promotions has worked many hours trying to simplify the rules that are used for the different classes at Evergreen Speedway. Despite the efforts it has become obviously clear that there is much confusion and some misdirection of what our sincere intent is meant to be. Because of the confusion we are going back to work to clarify the rules and changes that will be implemented in 2011. We apologize for the confusion and we will have a more detailed set of rules within the next 7-10 days. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Late Models

It has come to my attention there maybe a mistake in the Late Model Updates for tread width. I will get back on this issue when I return home!  Sorry if it has caused concern or problems.  No excuses, simply sorry if an error on input occured.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

On this night before Christmas I think it's important to be thankful for so much in our lives. We all get caught in the moment and sometimes become more reactive than proactive. Down economies bounce back, hard work is what we are used to, being good neighbors and charitable to everyone is the thread that binds our nation. Even when times are not what we are accustomed to, we still live in the greatest country on earth.  For this reason alone, we always have hope for a brighter tomorrow. Compared with most of the world, we take simple utilities, food, water, transportation, and education for granted. Many families will be celebrating Christmas alone while moms, dads, sons and daughters, friends and co-workers serve our great nation in the armed forces. The gift of freedom is one we receive each and every day.

As for High Road Promotions, our present came in a long term agreement to operate Evergreen Speedway. We are extremely thankful for all the opportunities we have in the operation of  the track, additional entertainment at the Fairgrounds, and to be able to give back to the communities we live in.  2011 will be a rebound year for so many things. Part of any turnaround, is to overcome any and all obstacles. Adversity is just another Opportunity.

We hope your holiday season is filled with family, friends, laughter and a sense of optimism.

On the lighter side of life, we hope Santa brings us rules packages that every driver loves!
A Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
