April 2008 Newsletter
From last month…….
On March 6th, Haydn Powis and Wayne Joss were
invited out to the Fort MacLeod Chamber of Commerce monthly lunch meeting to
speak about the Motorsport
Park. They gave a short presentation about the
track and it’s benefits to the community, followed by a question and answer
session. This was reported favorably in
the March 19th Fort MacLeod Gazette.
On March 18th Haydn was interviewed about the Motorsport Park by Marty Baceda at Global TV. The interview was aired on the 6 pm and the 11 pm sports news. Thanks to Dustin Vander Woude for providing
us with some digital drag racing footage.
