TRACK OPERATORS ATTEND INTERNATIONAL MOTORSPORTS INDUSTRY SHOW

Track Operators Scott Gardner (Cordova), Gerald Kramer (Eddyville) and Dan Driscoll (Cedar Falls) recently attended the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) at Indianapolis.

"Our main goal was to visit with our various sponsors as well as look for additional support of our programs" mentioned Scott Gardner. Although, not in a position to make the announcement, a revised Bracket Alliance Program is being worked on for the 2010 season.

"The show was clearly a success for our tracks" said Dan Driscoll. "It was also good to see the heart of motorsports is beating well." Before leaving Indy, the track operators were treated with a visit to the Don Schumacher Racing complex. Everyone was very impressed with the operation.

Watch for a major announcement concerning the 2010 Bracket Alliance program very soon.
