A Mother of a Dig
By Jim DeFord
ALBANY, Oregon (May 11, 2008) — Mother's Day
weekend
didn't slow down the Oregon Jet Sprint track workers one bit. They have been
super busy and track is looking fantastic! It's HUGE!!! You might have to
bring a few extra gallons of gas to get around this bad boy.
Kyle said, "Theresa was
our first DNF. She missed this finish in her new H2 and spun out." Kyle also
said, "Thanks to Dan Morrison and Brian of the hard work in getting it dug
as fast as they did. They are awesome!"
They are also putting out a call to anyone willing to
volunteer to help with the fencing, grooming and anything else. Contact Pat
or Kyle for more information. Sleeping on the sidewalk would be optional for
all volunteers.

Wet weather delays Albany dig
By Jim DeFord
ALBANY, Oregon (April 28, 2008) — Between unusually
late snow flurries and a bucketload of rain, the groundbreaking ceremonies
have been delayed until the turf dries out a bit more. And with more rain
scheduled for later this week and through the weekend, it could still be a
couple of weeks before the ground movers can do their work.
However, that will not have any effect on the exciting,
upcoming schedule that will have the first Oregon based track in years. As
soon as the ground breaks everything else will fall into place and you'll be
witness to the hottest racing event to grace the great state of Oregon.
While you're waiting, don't forget to visit the track's
website at:
OregonJetSprint.com
Albany's 2008 races are scheduled for July 19th and September
6th.
Be there!
