Frank Sisk would like to announce that Jay Farnsworth has agreed to become Track Manager of Accelaquarter Raceway. Jay is an experienced track manager, coming from most recently Lyons Raceway Park in Lyons, IN. Let's all make him welcome to Harrisburg. We will be delaying opening for a couple of more weeks so that Jay can get a handle on everything and get the track ready to open. This includes putting the schedule out as well.
