Heard of some "issues" that makes me wonder if the event is still a go or not for this year.
Plan to come over and spectate.

Great sermon ,Bob.   The fact that the Classic events filed bankruptcy, which is of course a public knowledge situation,as its a way to get out of paying creditors,could affect a lot of racers. That is why bankruptcy filings are public record, for just that reason. But you should already know that If you dont like it being raised, dont comment on it, i guess.

No sermon,Don,just repeating the words that were relayed to me.From what I understand Charlie went bankrupt and they are negociating with an individual for financial backing for the events.Could be that a"new"Mopar Classic Events is in the making.What ever happens,I hope the series continues.Other than that it's none of my business.The Curt George Memorial Race,at PRP will survive no matter what happens.I generally take people for their word unless I find otherwize.If you have better and more factual information then I will stand corrected.

It's not just bankruptcy ,,it's chapter 7 according to the Columbus Dispatch,,which means liquidation,,I read it myself. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Everyone is aware of the bankruptcy,but like many other business's that go under,many resurface under a new name and or managment(owners).That a new series with a similar event format as I mentioned maybe in the works.The series is such a great asset and event to the Mopar community I feel someone will step up and revive it.Hopefully some one with good business savy and strong finincal backing will see the value of the event.I like the ring of "The New Mopar Classic Event"something new with out all the past drama.

Wow, this is the first I heard of the CC Events bankruptcy. Do you think it was due to poor turn out at some events, or too many hands taking a piece of the pie? I bet it is tough to pay the track what they want, do all the advertising, work with the sponsors, run the business all year, etc. and have money left over. When a track holds a race on their own, many of the costs are not incurred. And most of the advertising for this fall's race is already done to attract the racers. But if CC Events folds, the sponsors of many of the payouts could back out, and the track will have decide on the payout structure. But from the car count, that should not be a problem at Norwalk... at least this year.
The Norwalk event gets a great turn out, and should show a big profit, for two reasons. One is the reputation of the CC Events series, and two is the great way the track handles the racing.

Sorry I gotta disagree with Bob on this issue, although I give him huge credit for attempting to take the high road on this subject. When you beat somebody bloody at a public event, in an attempt to hush someone whom you owe a large sum of money to, I'd not call it very private anymore. Need to call a spade a spade and a thug a thug and forget about political correctness, because it is concerning our sport doesn't mean we should look the other way.
This self proclaimed hillbilly should look into some counseling for anger management before he hurts somebody else cause he thinks they should shut up. Maybe get some meds dialed in, and leave the event promoting to competent adults capable of rational thought and proper bookkeeping.
