In wake of legal battles and the impending sale of Spokane Raceway
Park, auto racing will continue next spring at the embattled
motorsports complex.
So believes Troy Moe, who heads one of the local group of investors interested in buying the facility.
The park remained open this past season under interim general manager
Jim Tice. The 600-acre facility, which is in need of remodeling,
supports a quarter-mile drag strip, 2.5-mile road course and half-mile
asphalt oval.
SRP is prepared to reopen in April. Tentative race dates are being taken for the 2007 schedule.
Rice assumed GM duties after Orville Moe, the legendary force behind
SRP for three decades, was fired June 1 by a judge who concluded the
69-year-old millionaire had disobeyed a court-appointed receiver
overseeing financial operations.
