By far the worst renaming of a track I have ever seen.

Lol. Well, you may be on to something. Sounds like a pipe dream, but I wish them luck. If he has deep pockets, then it may happen. But I just think you’ll lose too much before you ever get a return on thee investment.

I wouldn't have posted if it was a joke. Go read the 3 links I posted: his FB page, track FB page, & link to announcement. I agree with Chris though the bs me is a bit goofy.

Man this is gonna be some facebook reading gold for a good few months minimum. Horrible track name, but after reading all this guys facebook posts I can see the name will likely be fitting. The guys boisterous language and threatening litigation on everyone is like listening to a Donald Trump rally during the Primaries (not trying to get political, just very similar). Either this guy has deep pockets or the collapse of this deal will be epic to watch. Popcorn will be at the ready.

After a quick search - Reno Fontana certainly has lived an interesting life....to say the least.

I don't believe much of anything that the Reno character has stated so far. He's been talking a big talk but I haven't seen anything concrete that would indicate that he's actually purchasing/running the track this year or any year for that matter.

And if what I've heard/read about him scamming people out of thousands of dollars regarding his "investment" in Elvis' California house is true, then I don't think he needs to be anywhere near a dirt track

I will add that I could be wrong about this, but from what I've seen/heard/read, he's not someone I'd want to be involved in any form of racing

Do research on Badlands (Huset's) and see how that worked out. Deep pockets always helps, but if you are a ding dong it won't work.

Is it now? Gaze into the sky, look pass the clouds and the Milky Way. Reno don’t lack vision, drive in movie theater. While you watching your movie you can race dirt cars and drag lol

Is it a fog we are gazing through, or cheech and chongs vapor trails. Lol

The only reason Badlands / Huset's isn't open is because the Billionaire that bought it and did all the upgrades is now trying to sell it for $10,000,000.
