As you have heard by now, the Edinburg City Commission has awarded operations of Edinburg International Racetrack to Mr. Freddy Cruz even though an independent committee appointed by the Commission scored the EIR bid higher. As a result, I am left with no choice but to cancel all Wednesday and Friday events effective immediately. This will enable me to start removing equipment I have purchased thru the years as soon as possible and allow the new operators to make plans for their opening of the track. I have enjoyed a 17 year relationship with the city and even though I would have very much liked to continue with the track, it's time to move on.
I want to use this occasion to give a sincere thanks to the racers, fans,vendors, sponsors, and media that have supported me thru the years. Your support was invaluable. I also want to thank my family, my friends, and my business associates for standing with me thru the good times and the bad times----you will never know how much you meant to me.
My goal was always to provide racers with a safe place to race and to treat everyone fairly and honestly. I beleive I succeeded in that regard. I have no regrets and I'm sure I'll see many of you down the road.
[> Subject: Thank you to Julio and EIR for many great years of racing it has been a blast. They say all good things must come to an end and it has reached that time. May we see a bright New Future for RGV Racing. Race on
