Motorsports, Bankruptcy, and Odds

Well, its almost Mid-March. I again am not working the Philadelphia Flower Show. I guess the owners family had enough kids and Grandkids so they do not need outsiders helping out. Oh well, it was a good 9 year run that's for sure.
In Millville local news, the NJ Motorsports Park has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As the Daily Journal reports in today's paper,this will not lead to a loss of jobs for the park. As NJMP General Manager Brad Scott states in the article:

“We wish to emphasize that none of these changes will affect our scheduled 2011 racing and so-cial events, Drivers Club Memberships, season passes, pre-event ticket sales, gift certificates, deposits or any other NJMP operation,”

City Officals stressed that NJMP has paid all obligations to the city and that the city would protect itself. As Vice-Mayor Derella stated

As a city, we must reserve all rights and explore all options under state law as to what our actions will be in coming days," Derella said afterward. "We are also especially concerned about all the unsecured creditors that have provided products as well as services and have not been paid by NJMP. The city hopes that NJMP is successful in their reorganization, because we still believe that the project is the future of not just the city but the entire region."

Of course we can not leave out TrackRacket and Michelle Post who responded to accusations that they are "reveling" over the financial problems of the the NJ Motorsports Track.

Here is my comment on the previous article that the DJ quoted me. It was in response to someone accusing us of reveling over this news.


"Why would TrackRacket be happy that the NJMP is in effect thumbing their noses at the business community that from the beginning invested their heart, soul and hard earned money into what they believed was an entity that would turn this town around? They were hoping for success with a payout down the road as all good business people do, and now they are the ones left hanging. If the track is successful in restructuring their debt, these local businesses will receive pennies on the dollars owed to them if they receive anything at all.


Hardly the way to be a good neighbor to the business community.


I am saddened that the track owners would treat their biggest and most vocal fans this way. In my opinion, this is downright despicable."

So I see she is concerned about the companies that did business for the track, but at the same time has an ongoing lawsuit. TrackRacket has hired an expensive Philly lawyer. I am sure this lawsuit did not help the bottom line for the track.
We will see what shakes out.

How Hollywood Promotes a Show

I applied for another part-time job at a tax place. I may work on Saturdays. I did go to Carls Corner and filled out the easy application. I suppose after work I will go take Pat to Home Depot. Well, my dog June is quite the watchdog. Maybe I will use  this video for my future company. Kinda like the MGM lion but funkier :)
