We are working on motels for out of town people to come and stay at if they choose. They will not be in Okc. We want to show the city on how much they could loose out on. Also, we have decided not to have a parade. The primary reason being is that we have to get a permit from the city for that.
However, we are still asking for everyone to bring their trucks, trailers, and race cars finished or not. If you want to bring any classic car bring them as well. This is a party to save the track . Talked to a gentleman in Wichita and he said he would bring a couple of antique race cars. For sure we could get some up there.
We are going to have guest speakers, the track announcer doing to the announcing. Also, signing the petiton, t-shirts for sell as well as stickers.
If anyone needs any petitions send me an message. WE WILL NOT QUIT.

How about the ORA having an official "Press Conference" at the start of the event and invite all of the media to attend. Then, they inform the media of the economic impact that the closing of the facility will have on the city. There's Motels, restaurants, gas stations, parts suppliers etc, etc, and the taxes they collect. And inform the media with FACTS on how the racing community has been lied to and how unprofessional the city leaders have been throughout the ordeal.
Also, maybe you need a permit for a parade but a cruise to and around city hall or the Mayors house might bring some attention.

The City cannot deny a protest parade as long as it is peaceful, lawful, and has a designated route.
Driving by Mr. Cornett's home is not the answer.
