W2: Bucky Austin had the contract to manage Spokane County Raceway. He put a ton of money into the track including a complete resurface, cleaned up the pits and rest rooms,. installed a new timing system and readerboard, and remodled the concession stand. The track surface is the best I have ever raced on.

Unfortunately, Bucky forgot to pay for the improvements so his contract was cancelled and Spokane County is being sued for a million dollars. The County is trying to find a new manager but rent of $275,000 a year will be a tough nut to crack. We racers are hoping the County will cut a good manager a better deal so that we will have a track in 2010 but we are all worried at this point.
