If the money figures that I'm hearing, and who they are owed to are even close to correct, re-opening may not be as easy as stated earlier.. there may be more loop holes than we are aware of in this case..

Island Dragway was a great family run place to race back in the day, and I commend Mellisa for trying to bring it back.. and I will say that from what I have heard, "old management" will NOT be in place.. best of luck on that venture..

Re-opening the track may be a big problem, but I think the bigger problem is IF you complete Step One, what is going to be Step Two.. could be a very big financial stumbling block.. what do you do with it once you re-open it..

I do find it a little ridiculous though to bash an entire family for the business mistakes of one, or maybe two.. Ed and Kate gave us exactly what we racers wanted and needed for many many years.. let's not forget the good stuff..
