Quincy Raceways Under New Leadership

Apparently the deal is done, and Quincy Raceways has new owners. Jason and Robert Goble were on hand Sunday night to negotiate the purchase of the 43 year old facility even as racing action was going on, and they are taking over operation immediately. Ciltrak Promotions offered to finish out the 2017 schedule, but the Gobles want to hit the ground running. The track had a scheduled night off this Sunday, but when the green flag flies on Sunday, September 3, it will happen with the new team in charge. Although nothing definite has been announced, indications are that the classes that have been running all season will finish out 2017. The new owners also indicated that they will stretch the season into October, although the original date for season championships was September 24. With the Gobles already making the move to Quincy, they have stated that giving the grounds a facelift will be the first order of business. Jason Goble has over 20 years experience in various capacities at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, and he is the son and nephew of former late model racers. so he comes into this venture with a solid racing background. As things develop, I will try to keep everyone informed on any changes or additions to the schedule. I wish the Gobles the best as they try to breathe new life in the legendary speedway. Even though it is Wednesday, this weekends racing plans for me are still up in the air, but the weather forecast sounds perfect, so everyone head to your favorite track, and maybe I will see you there!
