The Great Ethanol Scam

Not only is ethanol proving to be a dud as a fuel substitute but there

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

 

RE: WCFTS POMONA PARTICIPANTS / Gene Romero Promotions, Brea, CA

 

To all participants and supporters of the West Coast Flat Track Series:

 

Dear Fellow Racers,

 

I'm sure many of you have either seen the recent press release from the AMA or have heard discussions taking place regarding our upcoming Pacific Coast Nationals at the Pomona Fairplex this October 24, 2009. I also know you have many questions on how this may affect you the valued WCFTS participants. Let me assure you that I will continue to do everything in my power to support you as I, in turn, recognize and appreciate the support you have given me and the WCFTS throughout my career.

 

As of now, it would be premature to set guidelines around issues that have not yet been confirmed. However, I promise you all that I will act swiftly and effectively on your behalf to allow ample time to make provisions in preparation for this premiere event.  As you know, we are at a critical juncture in our sport and often good things take time.

 

Again, as always I will be acting with your best interests in mind and endeavor to make the Pacific Coast Nationals a season finale we can all be proud to participate in. 

 

I look forward to seeing you at Round #3, the Lodi Cycle Bowl on Saturday, May 9, 2009 and I will report back to you as soon as a definitive resolution is reached.

 

Thank You,

Gene Romero / Founder
