a couple weeks ago, racers at lancaster were given the following letter…
" Dear Competitors, Crew, and Fans,
It is with regret that I need to inform you that I do not intend to operate Lancaster Raceway Park in 2008, unless there is a change in ownership or finances. I am letting everyone know this now, as my only concern is to make sure that Lancaster continues to be open and operational in 2008 and beyond.
As most of you already know, my partner and I have placed the property and Lancaster Raceway Park up for sale.
Anyone interested in the following, please call me: investing, purchasing either part of or the entire property, or leasing the facility. I am very optimistic that someone, or some group, will step forward and either assist me, or, do this on their own terms.
This is not the end or the closing of Lancaster Raceway, but a chance for a new beginning. I believe we (the staff, officials, maintenance, and everyone involved with LRP) have done everything physically and financially possible for the past four years to keep this great facility open, and believe that with the right investors, partners, or new ownership, LRP can and should be taken to the next level.
I am asking everyone’s help in spreading this information, in hopes of a response from the right person or group. You can reach me at the track office anytime, 716-759-6818, to answer any questions or to discuss more details.
I will follow up with more details and information in the following weeks.
Thank you,
Jim Reid"
