Piedmont Sold
 

Well guys I'm going to say that My brother and I are totally overwhelmed at what is going on but we have purchased Piedmont Dragway effective immediatly. We felt this had been there 50 years and with the ownership it had there was no guarantee it would stay for 50 more. We look forward to a new challenge and I hope to see yall at the races.

Herb,

Congratulatons and the best of luck to you and your brother.

In my part of the country (central IL) we have a local dirt track, been there as long as I can remember and I am 49. I don't follow that racing and it had gotten kinda "bad" looking around there the last couple of years. Last year there was talk of it being it's last.

Enter NASCAR racers Kenny Wallace, Kenny Schrader, and Tony Stewart. They purchased the track and have breathed some much needed life into the old place. The main thing I have seen is the attitude of the racer and fan toward this. Appearences are a little slow in changing, but I have faith they will and I believe that they will have a very strong business in the future.

My point is that it seems the racers invested and believed in the "grass roots" of the sport and are behind it. I recognize your name (and a good one it is) in Drag racing and feel you are headed in the right direction.

Good luck.

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK HERB! If you start up a Stk/SS combo race deal, that will give us a couple local class races. That would be great!!!

Hey Herb,
When I first saw "Piedmont Sold", I thought oh no, and remembered our conversation about the big $$$ houses close by. Then I saw that you and your brother had bought it, what a relief! I wish you the best, and keep me on the mailing list. I'll support you when I can.

Herb, Have you thought about talking to the guys at Roxboro and maybe putting together a joint deal with a points series? Might work if they were interested. One or so races per month, drop 2, something like that.
