Bucky has the lease but Jim Rockstad is going to manage it for him.

Now that is some great news!
Jim Rockstad? I know who it is and it's not Jim. Jim just emailed me tonight and didn't mention it. No, it's someone else with the first initial J. Either guy would be good as they are both friends of mine that love the sport.
And one other thing, Jim Rockstad is a great guy, a caring individual, and he did the best he could in Seattle under the circumstances. It's one of those things that we don't understand unless we are in his shoes. Give him some credit. I regret not understanding more than I did at the time.

As someone who was born and raised in Spokane, and lived there until I was thirty years old, this is indeed good news.

there's more than two track promoters with the initial J in the northwest. .. there's five and i know them all. i think we are putting the cart before the horse. the story i just saw said bucky is in the running. it never said that its a done deal so lets take a deep breath and wait and see what happends.

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.

This would be great. Bucky is one "bad" dude. Now I just wish I could make it back out to the PNW to attend a race there.

Rich, you are probably right about Rockstad but I just printed what I was told at the reunion.
well, its a done deal Bucky will lease it and Jay Livingston will run it. Between the two the Northwest's best track may be in Spokane. A lot of credit must go to the county for saving the facility and now getting it into the right hands.
Hey guys, I live in the northeast, but it's great news that this track will remain in operation, we can never have too many! Also, I'm a fan of Bucky's and am amazed at how much he loves the sport. BTW, does anyone have the link that showed up awhile back to the photos of Bucky's warehouse full of drag racing cars & parts? It was simply unreal...

This is really cool news. I wish BA the very best. And let me tell you something... I don't care where he is, or what he's doing at the time.... TRY THIS: if you wanna' see a smile on his face a mile wide? Just mention Connie & Steve Will. He'll light up like a christmas tree!!! You go, Bucky! From the crazy tatooed one
