drivers were concerned was like a roller coaster an up and down deal We once had a football game here between Washington and Philadelphia and we lost a great deal of money around $36000 about when Pope decided to sell Pope did sell out and Car rier and Moore became partners in 1962 But a few years later the pair sold the track to Lanny Hester and Gary Baker Baker bought Hester out after two years then Calif ornian Warner Hodgdon got into the picture and bought Baker out In 1983 after several years away from the track Carrier re turned as Hodgson's general manager A year later the track
