Moroso Motorsports Park SOLD!!

Gary Smith · 08-29-2008, 08:39 AM

Was just informed MMP sale was finalized yesterday!! It's hard to gauge the direction they'll go, but it looks as though these new partners played a big role in improvements.

This can be nothing but good! The Moroso's needed to leave. Hope for the best. Jim

The Moroso family, which owned and operated the track since 1981, will serve in an advisory and "ambassadorial" role but will retain no ownership stake, according to the new owners.

David, I wouldn't shed too many tears. Rick wanted out long ago. However Sue was determined to make things work in despite of lacking the necessary people & resources to maintain a succeessful operation. Because she had passed several opportunities from various land developers NOT INTERESTED in the facility my hat's off to her for making the right choice. From what I gather this has been in the makings for quite some time with the new owners funding most (or all) of the improvements. And the improvements are proof these guys are serious.

You are probably right. Matter of fact, why don't you elaborate.

Is that elaborate enough? THAT is why I removed my post after writing it.

what did I share that was personal?

What Gary wrote was pretty much common knowledge. I actually heard him (Rick) state something very similar in the past. Jim
