Ø Pueblo-
Ø There’s a group of drag racers that are veryunhappy with Judy they have started a petition to NOT renew Judy’s contractwith the city of Pueblo; they have been at every city council meetings. Theyhave a thread “Save PMP Track”.
Ø The city was going to re-new her contract untilthey started having these complaints & concerns about Judy’s ability to dothe job, attitude & how the money is being spent.
Ø Glenn has spoken to the drag race group downthere in pueblo he explained to them that the MRA brings their own show. I.e.Office staff, Corner workers, Ambulance etc… Glenn suggested to them that theyshould consider doing the same. When they are there renting the track theywould be in charge not Judy.
Ø They asked Jim to get on board with them Jimsaid NO. We have safety concerns but they aren’t exactly Judy’s fault or doing.Most of our concerns are about Turn 10 & the configuration. We are aware ofthe issues Judy has on track days, no riders meetings, no safety concern, noambulance crew & minimal Corner staffing…..
Ø They more complained about Judy they didn’treally have much of a case against her. They need to do some work to prove thatJudy is unfit to run Pueblo.
Ø We are scheduled for R1 & R6 at Pueblo. Wewant to make sure that our dates will be honored. Jim will contact Judy aboutgetting our contracts together ASAP. Most of the time those aren’t done tillFeb or March.
