The Racers Group, a high-profile diversified motorsports company, has dropped plans to build a $5 million headquarters and racing facility at New Jersey Motorsports Park.They just did not end their relationship, the CEO of the Company Kevin Buckler made it sound like a messy divorce and twisted the knife:
TRG also began removing equipment Monday from leased garages here, though several months remain on the company's one-year lease agreement
"The park has obviously had some challenges and things did not develop as we had hoped for," Buckler added. "We no longer support the management of the facility or its vision for the future."He goes on further:
Buckler said his company is "red hot" and doesn't need "the distraction" posed by the park. He also was angry at how the park treated local creditors, adding, "Many of them are my friends."I saw the Wikipedia entry on Mr. Buckler. He seems like big deal in the world of Motorsports. This can not be good for the current management.
"Our brand is very strong right now and our NASCAR and Sportscar racing programs arein full swing," Buckler said. "It is regrettable but in the best interest of TRG to distance ourselves from this current situation. Our lease is not up for several months, but we are removing all of our equipment, temporary personnel and signs as of today.We wish the park the best of luck in the future."
I have heard from informed sources that a new management team will eventually have to take over the park for it to move forward. They did not elaborate since it appears this is in process.
Meanwhile the stupid lawsuit (My tax dollars at work) drones on and on. And when this FREEZING Spring turns into a hot summer, noise complaints will resume like fleas on dogs.
Meanwhile the neighbors of the Levoy will try to make a cheap payday claiming damage to the Fath Building.
Man I wish I could retire and drive my Vespa around keeping an eye on the folks who want failure for their own sake. You know who your are and I will not name names. You do not NEED the satisfaction this would give.

Yes, Kevin Buckler is a big name and big money investor...this is definately not a good thing! As for others in this town looking at ways to make money off lawsuits...doesn't surprise me in the least!!! Good post
Thank you! I am waiting for the Millville First
Men to tell me off
Concering the neighboring property to the Levoy. Why shouldn't they claim compensation for damages? From what the owner replied to you previously on here, it sounds like there is quite a bit of damage.
If you were in his situation, wouldn't you want to be compensated?
I've entreated you on numerous occassions to view specifics (provided by licensed architects and engineers)...rather than use emotions for "fact gathering". The invitation still stands.
I've also included a quote which I think the "something-for-nothing" crowd should read.
"The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. See a man grow rich, they say, "How lucky he is!" Observing another become intellectual, they exclaim, "How highly favored he is!" And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, the remark, "How chance aids him at every turn!" They do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience. They have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable, and realize the Vision of their heart. They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it "luck"; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it "good fortune"; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it "chance."

I also think your comment "keeping an eye on the folks who want failure for their own sake." is a rather reckless insinuation.
That's like saying psychiatrists, ER interns, EMT's, and surgeons furnish thier homes, pay their mortgages, and send their kids to college...banking on someone else's misfortune.
We all have a job to do. Everything I (and my company) will do will need to be justified and authorized by the appropriate authorities. Architects, engineers, Construction officials, city/county/state codes will need to be met. So there's no "free lunch" here. People need to be paid accordingly.
Or did I miss something?
Waiting for your call...
