Subject: Message From Marvin

I received this message from Billy Bob from Marvin:

A message from Track Owner/Promoter Marvin Ragan:

I need to let everyone know that I do not anticipate being able to open WCS in 2013. I have had some health issues recently and just found out yesterday that my prognosis is not good. I have AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) which is one of the most aggressive types, and in my current stage, I have a life expectancy of less than 2 months. This disease is not contagious. The doctors say I can probably extend my life cycle by taking chemotherapy and I plan to start the chemo in the next few days but must be pretty much quarantined during this time so unless a miracle happens, I am not in any position to make any plans for 2013.

I will make plans for Speedfest 2013 to go on regardless of my outcome but anything past this is speculation and I wanted to let everyone know as early as possible so they can plan their racing plans accordingly. I don't know the future of the track but right now anticipate putting it on the market and hopefully someone will buy it and keep it going. Personal financing will be considered for anyone with good credit.

Don't feel sorry for me as I'm doing OK right now, I'm in good spirits, and plan to fight this as hard as I can and hopefully be around for a long time. I'll keep everyone posted if there are any changes. - Marvin"
