"Mr. Terrazas is now traveling In Europe and on his return work on the track will be rushed. The new club has a franchise for ten years, with the option of a ten-year extension. While I shall be interested in the venture because of my friendship for the principal owner, I will take no active part. The story that I have any Intention of becoming Interested in racing in Nevada is entirely without foundation." . .
