The word came from the constuction guys at the track,I'm a believer that its sold until St.Onge or Brad says different and that aint gonna happen,also the activity going on at the track is a great deal more than tidying things up for Nascar.Last week nothing was said to us in the drivers meeting but l fully expect to hear that its sold in this weeks meeting and l for one think its just great.Barrie needs a few more finishing touches and there will not be a track that can even come close.I think Barrie news is the official speedway line just gettting us primed so that no body takes a heart attack lol.
Doherty like the man said call St.Onge or Moran and ask them, its that simple.

I for one hope they do continue to grow but in the same sence I do not want to see the cost of racing sky rocket (Can afford it now as it is lol). I sure don't want to see them get rid of the lower racing classes either. I love to race and don't want to go anywhere else. Broadway where do we find this press release???

The official press release has not been issued yet,it will have to be by Saturday before the lid blows off, but the word is out literally at the track today amongst the workers.l think that it is not just a rumor or some one having some fun it is a serious business and the truth.To answer your question l think it should be great for the lower classes as things can only get more organized,both teching and officiating wise and l hope the new ownership realise that the lower classes are the life blood of the speedway and they deserve more attention and encouragement in order to grow.

Just because someone signs on and says it's so, doesn't make it so - it wasn't an official press release. Not saying it's not true, but let's not get the cart too far ahead of the horse.

We should give some credit to Brad, Steve, Gord and Nigel for all the work they have done for the local racing scene as some of the things they have done/accomplished at the track were done because they were racers, and not because they made good business sense.

be very careful. investment is just that investing which people do to make a return on their money. if the group is hardcore racers then likely little worry if they are there to make a buck look out they will milk what makes money and cut what does not. i hope things work out for barrie . have cautious optimism.

hill if corporate money is brought to the speedway it can only be a win win, you have to know that if these people are good investers they are not going to do anything to harm the speedway or it would harm their investment,i only see positive things coming

way too much invested in the track to be a subdivision. Just spoke to one of the new owners who will remain nameless at this time the plans for both the drivers and speedway are awsome, the drivers will see some awsome new things coming that will be like no other track, lets give some credit here the speedway is on a roll and it looks like its going to continue. Its great for all us who love racing we will have the best track around.

any speedway in ontario is worth far more as a speedway than a subdivision

the crossover doesn't make sense financially

I share your feelings of unrest hill3, I really hope everything turns out okay (if the thread is even legit!)

I have my fingers crossed that you're right, nothing would make me happier than to see BSW flourish.

Ijust hope that if this is true that theese people are true race fans or racers themselves. no matter how you feel about brad or steeve they were racers and more often than not had racing and racers at heart with their decisions, so i will reserve judgement untill
i here it from them
