Thanks for that Tim
You know we will have the car out there to support anything you come up with and we'll bring others too.Dont get flusterd though Andy & Ron have been trying for 7 years and the Riverside Motorsports park has got 5 years into it.Big Willie is still trying,so it just takes time.Unfortunately the kids on the streets won't be waiting and will be doing battle on them. Until then Politicians will talk about their concern with the street racing problem and soon as the camera is turned off ,their GONE AND DONT LOOK BACK!.We need to hold these lying pricks feet to the fire and remind them of their "Photo opps" they chose to do ,all the while blowing smoke up our asses.
You relize LACR lasted more than twice as long as LION's , Irwindale or OCIR did in their time .I'm proud that the "Bernieplex" was my HOME track and got to share those good times with all of you,even when we blew shit up.
Keep the faith, LACR RULES!.....Stormy

: Hey Stormy:
: Your absolutely right LACR was family, from
: the folks who worked there to “All The
: Racers” that past through the gate all thoes
: years. It was especially sad for me having
: grown up racing there and working for LACR
: the last 16 years.
:
: You’re also correct when you say NHRA was no
: help! What I find most amusing is they
: stated in their rule book several years back
: that “NHRA is 160 member tracks strong and
: 85,000 Sportsman Racers”, and they supported
: neither. Let’s face it unless they can make
: a buck they don’t care!
:
: This get’s better when the track finely
: closed Moldy and I started to look for
: support in opening a “New Drag Strip”, my
: first thought was to contact Mike Rice
: “Division 7 Director” for help in putting
: together a business plan for the County of
: Los Angeles, evidently Mr. Rice was vary
: busy at the time, so busy he didn’t even
: have time to respond to my email. Well you
: know me “Give Up” isn’t part of my make up,
: so I contacted the IHRA and within a day I
: Skooter Peaco sent me an email and put me
: together with Phil Gingerich who handles
: these projects for the IHRA. They have
: called, sent me business plan models and
: been a great help, so when we get this
: together guess who will be the governing
: body.
:
: The business plan is almost finished and
: when it it’s done we will be giving it to
: our friend at the County to review before we
: submit it.
:
: I can also say this that through the years
: “No One” has publicly supported LACR more
: than “Stormy Byrd”, as a drag racer and
: journalists and most of all a friend.
:
: Everyone stay tuned, it’s not over till the
: fat lady sings and she hasn’t even started
: to warm up let.
:
: P. S. I got the copies you mailed, I thought
: I emailed to thank you, but at my advanced
: age I be sure. At any rate thanks a lot I
: really do appreciate it.
:
: All the best,
: Tim – LACR
