The track may or may not be operating beyond that date, but ownership is comfortable making commitments through the end of May.<br class=""><br class="">I realize that this will put most of you in a position of having to book elsewhere from June 1 forward, which is why I asked the owners to give us a firm date on the closure.<br class=""><br class="">I expect increased demand on dates from this point on. Currently all weekends are booked through the end of 2014 with the exception of Aug 30-31. For 2015 dates we will continue to operate on a "legacy" basis, i.e. if your group had the 3rd weekend in March this year, you have first right of refusal on that same weekend next year. That means that all dates through May 31, 2015are set as tentative already. You can view the 2015 schedule on our website at <a href="http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/the-track/track-schedule.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" class="">http://www.<u class=""></u>texasworldspeedw<wbr class="">ay.com/the-<u class=""></u>track/track-<wbr class="">schedule.html</a> and <u class=""></u>scroll forward to 2015.<br class="">Note that weekends that were open in 2014 have been filled with groups that had previously requested new/additional dates, in the order that they were received.<br class=""><br class="">This is important: I need a confirmation for your proposed 2015 dates by next Friday Aug 29th. If you are, or have made other plans for next Spring and do not plan to carry over one or more of your 2014 weekend's) I need to know now. We already have groups asking to come back to TWS for one final event, and some of our current customers are asking for additional dates. If there will be openings in the Spring schedule due to a change in your club's plans we need to know that asap please.<br class=""><br class="">Likewise, if you want to change, trade or add an additional weekend or want to extend your weekend to Friday or Monday (or more) please let me know asap. I will do what I can to accommodate.<br class=""><br class=""></font></div></div><font face="Lucida Grande" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-size: 15px;" class=""><br class=""></font><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height: 0px; font-size: 15px;" class=""><font face="Lucida Grande" class="">__,_._,___</font></div>
