I don't have any concrete answers yet, trust me, once I get final word from the Deseret Peak I'll share it. We thought things were finalized but they aren't so stay tuned.
Maybe I'll make a phone call or two tomorrow.

i was willing to take it over, i had talked to some big $$ possible sponsors (from utah) and had tech support all lined up, but everyone is so "secretive" regarding DP, i think will work on a new location: summit county maybe???

It's not that there are secrets guys, it's just from what I have seen, the County can't make up their minds if they want to continue with the BMX racing even though it's been one of the few things out there that had paid & made money for itself last year. I'll try to get in touch with the "guy" tomorrow & see what he has to say on the subject. Trust me, there isn't a person out there right now that isn't more in favor of keeping DP around than me. Iv'e spent tons of hrs helping out over the years in every which way possible to get that program where it's at. Saturday night works for my family & if that's gone, I don't know how much racing we can do, if any in the summer.

Hello all,
I would just like to bring up again..... the possibility of maybe racing rad outdoor on saturday nights if DP dumps the bmx program? I love DP and do not want to see it go away but if it does I don't want to lose a night of bmx either.

Anyone? Melton? Melton?

Thanks,
Merv

We dont want to see DP go away but if it does the rumored Ogden track should take over the time slot. It would be too difficult for SLCers to battle rush hour to make it up there on a weeknight so Saturdays would be the next best choice.

Just saying,

Ok faithful readers, I made the call this afternoon & got voicemail. I left a detailed message of who I was, what I wanted & if questions could be answered to either me personally or here on the site.

Stay tuned.

I got some good news this morning, it looks like DP will be open this season but with some changes. Still Saturday night though & details need to be hammered out.
Bottom line is this, Mark at DP has been working hard to keep BMX there but County budget cuts are running very deep so that has been the hang up. But, it looks like this has been resolved. More later.
