Nason Jr.: This is a re-vamping

Ralph Nason Jr., the general manager of Unity Raceway, insists that while the plans for now are to keep the track closed this season, it won't be that way for good.

In fact, he vowed that it will come back better than ever in 2009.


"It's not the end," he said Tuesday night. "We're going to take another 11 months and try to fine tune things."

Uh-oh. Maybe I should quit my job.

I'm obviously no good at telling both sides. Man, what a lie I've been living!

Of course, it's the first time I've ever been accused of toeing the party line. You win!

Gotta love when "anonymous" calls you out. Strap it on people. The internet has created a world full of cowards, all with opinions but none with the courage to stand behind those opinions with a name.

That's "bright," Mr. MacArthur. And our editors insist we use spaces after periods.

Just a couple of tips, buddy...

And, you're absolutely right. I'm not that bright -- but you keep coming back to read it, so I must be doing something right, no?

The timing of this stinks to high heaven!!

I don't blame people for being upset with the Nasons - it sure seems like they are being less than truthful about this deal.

Could be that the real reason is that they just don't want to put the time & energy into getting the place "race ready" and invest in the improvements that are necessary for the track to open???

What a cop-out to the local racers & fans if that's the case.

What's the economy & price of gas doing now, that it wasn't doing four months ago when the track was asking racers to change their cars for the upcoming '08 season?

Nason has always been a classless bum, but the way he has handled this situation is a new low even for him!!

I have worked at Unity Raceway for many years. I was hurt and disappointed like most were with the closing. I have just wondered if anyone really knows what it takes to put on a race night. I only handle the kids, and that can wear me out. I can only pray that someone will come along and lease the track so we can all race at HOME the 2008 season. Keep up the great work Travis. I sign onto your blog everynight just to see what you are up too. I would get the newspaper at home if they had more of your columns about racing in it. Thanks.

Where is the Pro Stock crowd hatred and discontent for Unity owner Ralp Nason? What he's done here is as bad OR WORSE than what Ryan did at OPS (at least Ryan kept racing alive and well at his track and possibly made the right moves for the long term survival of the track) yet I don't see the normal maineracing.com and Bill Ryan Bloggers here to call Nason all kinds of names.

The guy is shutting down a track a few weeks before opening and put EVERY driver out to pasture for a season.

Bunch of hypocrites. I'll be enjoying a top notch show at my track so I'm not too worried, but except for a few of the normal loud voices here, where's the heat and anger?
