Topic: Reno Fernly closing?

a friend just sent me this post from the management of Reno Fernly Raceway:

http://www.reno-fernleyraceway.com/news.php?ID=75

So sounds like no true 24 hour race at RFR next year?

Oh hell! I hope that means they are just closing for the "Off season" which would be the winter I assume??

Re: Reno Fernly closing?

Wow, even though it is only a "closed for the winter" notice, they sure make it sound like they are in financial trouble.

Re: Reno Fernly closing?

The note certainly reads that this is only a winter closing, but there is certainly an underlying money concern as well.

Re: Reno Fernly closing?

I guess I took the title of the message literaly "Road Course Closed Indefinitety".  thanks for calling to check and sorry if I induced any panic.
