This is the update that we never wanted to bring. It is with a heavy heart to announce that unfortunately due to insurance, LACR will not be able to reopen as it was. We have spent the last 18 months doing everything in our power to come back. We’ve tried just about every broker/insurance company we could. We were either denied or the rate was so high that we would not be able to sustain reopening for a reasonable cost to you. It has been an emotional roller coaster working hard to re-open. Often taking two steps forward and three steps back, we have spent thousands of dollars trying to hold out and make it work, but it’s no longer feasible to do so. Last summer we were on our way to transfer the reins of the track to new ownership. This transfer was paused as we had made head way on sponsors and insurance. With those new prospects we continued hope and kept pushing forward, but by the end of the year both had fallen through. Last month we had one final fight to obtain insurance, which fell through this week bringing us to pretty much zero options.
While the future of this facility remains unclear, we know there are a few groups interested in it. We also know that because of a new name and new owners insurance would be much more attainable. With them we hope the facility will continue to run and provide a place for many of you, our moto family.
We want to thank all of you for the support! The words of encouragement from messages to DMs to phone calls have been what has kept us going. We have been able to pour our heart and soul into this facility because of all of you. We wouldn’t have been able to try this long without the support from the gofundme and groups like Church of Dirt, Make Moto Great Again, also the private promises we were given. It showed us how much this place means to all of you. We only wish we could have made good on getting the doors back open.
For the Barbacovi family we have called this place home for more than 40 years. Thank you for all the memories, the support, and the love. We will miss our moto family and community. From all of us at LACR thank you! We hope to see you around..
