WE SAY GOOD BUY FROM CAPITAL CITY SPEEDWAY .CA: DEC 12. 2009
Well folks as we announced at the banquet, we would not be back in 2010 and this write up is to officially confirm that to the stock car community. Its been a blast and even though we have not made friends with everyone along the way, (you never can running a race track) we hope we have done something's that have made you pleased. When we took over the speedway in 2005 at the encouragement of the Drummond Family we really thought we would be around for a long while like we have at Luskville Dragway and that was the plans. Motorsports has been part of our entire Families lives for the past 40 years, our kids have never spend a weekend at a cottage by a lake, as a race track as always been their weekend cottage's. And that was no different when we where asked to revive Capital City Speedway, all of us put our hearts and souls into doing just that. However I guess in some ways we did too good a job, as it seems that now that we have rebuilt the speedway a certain degree from where it was when we took over, it looks appealing to others. Too all of the advertisers, all of the staff the drivers, the teams and the fans, the last four years has been fun but now the end has come for us. We will miss the track and most of those associated with it, leaving is not easy and not what we wanted, I hope we will be remembered for what we did. Monster Jam will always be a highlight, as will being part of Loudon NH with one of our drivers out there competing on a super speedway, also watching so many new people come into the sport and do so well that included many new female drivers for the sport. We have heard that the track will be repaved and that is something we asked for each and every year, so if that happens then maybe the last four years played a part in that happening, and that is great for you racers, you deserve it. We wish nothing but good things to all you drivers and teams and I certainly expect too see many of you next summer at one track or the other.

AROUND THE TRACK: DEC 12/09
*BRIAN GOUDGE RETIRES FROM CAPITAL CITY SPEEDWAY: When we where asked by the Drummonds in 2005 to take over Capital City Speedway and see if we could rebuild it, we knew we had our work cut out for us. And one of the first people we contacted was Brian "Motor Mouth" Goudge, who I had known and worked with many times at Capital City Speedway in the Past. We firmly believed that Brian was a Key ingredient in any rebuilding that was too go on at the speedway and I think the past four years have proven that. Considered one of, if not thee best race track announcers anywhere, Brian played a huge part in any success we saw at the track and was a key factor in the rebirth of CCS. As things start to change at the speedway Brian has decided it is time for him too move on also. I think it is safe too say that Brian was a major part in all the "Good Times" that Capital City Speedway has had over the years, whether it was under Dave Booth, Penny Bell or the Malcolm Family. As far as Im concerned Brian's Voice at Capital City Speedway shouting out, "and here they come out of corner #4, wheel to wheel, bumper to bumper to bumper" is Capital City Speedway and it will never be the same with out him. I have also added a brief email message that is added below from Brian:
Hi Arnie, I’m okay with my retirement being included in your announcement. I have enjoyed the multi-year relationship with the various promoters and thought that we were on to something bigger and better as we moved forward. It’s been a great ride... who knows what the future will bring for “MotorMouth”? All the best! Cheers, Brian
