A person would think with money like this at stake, there would have been something concrete in writing. Any attourney would make sure their respective party was protected in such a huge transaction.

Politicians going back on their Word? Who ever heard of that?

Once again idiot government officials forget who the money really belongs to. It always burns my a@@ when some government moron talks about how "We cant afford to lose this money". Seems they dont have to belt tighten like the rest of us when things get a little tight. They seem to overlook the MILLIONS of dollars pumped into their local economy by the thousands of fans and race teams who get taxed on everything they do--fuel, rooms, meals, merchandise, etc, and the list goes on and on. Even a dumb a@@ country boy for Arkansas like me understands that even a small amount like 15% of nothing is still NOTHING!!! Bruton should have moved the track and told the whole bunch to kiss his a@@

From reading, it seems Bruton is full of poopy. If it was a contractual thing there wouldnt need to be any arguing because it would be right there on paper. And who has a "payment plan" of "2-3" years. An agreement among buddies for $50 or something I can understand a "this week or next" but not a corporate agreement. I mean my car is 4 yrs, my house is 30yrs, my school loans are 15 yrs. I cant take my car loan and say "ehhh 4-5 yrs" or my house and say "ohh ill make 30-35 yrs".

Maybe I am reading the article wrong but thats my opinion

Well, it says he has a letter of agreement. Is that just not binding legally?

Shame on Smith from not getting anything in writing...3 years is now 40? There is a big piece of the puzzle missing here...

If there was no duration specified, i could see why the City agreed to that.... it's likely that the the track won't be there in 40 years.... and $80m over 40 years is a lot less valuable that $80m over 3 years!

Thanks Rob, great article, should be interesting!!!

 

[jackass]

the more things change the more they stay the same..lol...

here's a thought a buddy just had while i was reading this to him on the phone... if the goverment that delt the hand with the TORCO deal was on the ball like Concord was.. maybe the TORCO deal wouldn't have gotten out of hand......

ok.. go ahead and slap me around... they are no where the same....but makes ya think...
