There was an article in the Spokesman Review Northwest section today entitled “Driver in the lead to run racing park” which you can view at: http://spokesmanreview.com/local/story.asp?ID=265150

The information in the article is probably familiar to most who have been following this. The article reported that Bucky Austin proposed fronting the $2 million for improvements, as well as paying the county a monthly lease fee of $10,000 per month. There was also mention of Austin putting $5 of every ticket sold into a county fund.

At this point the recommendation of selecting Austin as the lease operator goes before the County Commissioners on Tuesday, October 21st. If approved, the county will begin negotiations with Bucky Austin Racing to formalize an agreement.
