We are still trying tosecure the building. I have begun looking at alternative sites. I have looked at several buildings over the last coule of days and hope to have something going by next week.

What happened to the old location??

Rich Chang

Rent for any indoor racing track is a big chunk of the monthly expenses. Even though the old location was in a deserted strip mall, the landlords wanted to raise rent (again) and also demand some other goofy monetary concessions.

When one can get a better location with better landlords it is always better to look at alternatives.

So, I have to agree with how Nick is handling this. If I was in his shoes I too would look at other places before committing to the old location again.

I was not aware of those issues. We are looking for a place to run nitro next year and are finding the pickings a little slim. Apparently the city where we were running did not like us. They passed an ordinance a year ago with the intention of preventing people from setting up a canopy on the side of the road and selling Red Wings jerseys. Somehow they were lumping that for-profit (parasitic?) activity with our non-profit community-development effort that was attracting many outside dollars....
