Hey just because I have no seats, or consoles right now doesn't mean I  
won't be ready.  I -did- drive it last year.

>> All,
>>
>> I am heavily saddened to announce the cancellation of the 2010 PCNC
>> Speed Trials.
>>
>> The Reno Fernley Raceway (RFR) track operators have been evicted from
>> the property, there are no other track facilities in the Reno area,
>> all track-site improvements not poured in concrete have been removed
>> by the previous operators, and at this time there are no firm plans in
>> place to re-open the track.
>>
>> While there is a possibility of the track being re-opened later this
>> year, with nothing definite now in place and with the long lead time
>> required for the refurbishment of the track and the organization of
>> our event, PCNC sees no option but to cancel our Speed Trials.
>>
>> I have spent many hours speaking with the principals involved, on both
>> sides, in this affair. The PCNC and POCA boards and I have exchanged
>> many emails in the past months. It is a great understatement to say
>> this has not been an easy decision to make.
>>
>> PCNC remains committed to providing a Speed Trials event at the 2011
>> POCA Fun Rally if RFR has been re-opened. If the Fun Rally perhaps
>> returns to Las Vegas, PCNC will of course then explore our return to
>> Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump.
>>
>> Please remember there is so much more to the Fun Rally than just the
>> track event. In addition to the events of 2009, new events are being
>> planned for the 2010 Fun Rally.  Whether your attendance at the Speed
>> Trials has been as a driver or spectator, please view this year’s
>> cancellation as an opportunity to enjoy some of these other events,
>> make new friends, and enjoy all that the 2010 Fun Rally will have to
>> offer.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Larry Finch
>>
>> PCNC Motorsports Director
