ATTENTION TO ALL FASTRAK RACE TEAMS AND FANS!!!!!
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** October 11th, 2013 FASTRAK PR
(Carnesville,
Georgia) – Beckley Motorsports Park has decided to not pay the teams or
the series for the World Championship weekend. We have already hired an
attorney to work on the teams behalf just like the rule book states on
page 5.
They were supposed to give us a check Saturday night after
the race just like everyone does. Ok it was late Saturday by the time
we tore all three engines down. Brian called Sunday and Joe Jackson told
him they were counting a lot of cash and could they just overnight us a
check Monday? We agreed not thinking anything was wrong. They would not
answer a phone call or answer a text all day Monday. We waited until
12:00 for overnight Tuesday then Brian took off headed that way. He saw
Joe and Billie Joe Jackson on Weds around 2:00 and before Joe started to
hand him a check he said "I've already been to see a lawyer". Lawyer?
Why? Then he was quick to say "You know the trial will be in WV"?
The
check he handed Brian was significantly short of the contracted amount
so Brian had to leave it. It’s a neat little legal loophole that if you
accept a cashier’s check that way that the debt is paid in full, but we
are a little more savvy than that. Brian headed out to take all the
paperwork to an attorney in WV the next morning. We were prepared since
they had not been taking our calls.
Now unfortunately we have to
wait to get the drivers money and the series money. We already paid out
over $14,000 on the tracks behalf from Friday night plus we paid the
$1000 to the King of the Hill winner and also we brought sponsorship to
pay for the Engine Builders 25 non qualifiers race.
They actually
told people they made money, and then they just keep the drivers and
series money from us????? That's not their money to keep. It’s the teams
and the series.
We are taking legal action against them. That's
all I can say at this point. Joe Jackson is a West Virginia State
Trooper and he is supposed to be a representative of the state. This
does not look good to anyone. Not the city Of Beckley WV, not the state
of WV and not the Troopers in WV and none of them deserve that. People
like this need to be out of racing forever.
