Yes Dave (PMachy), Bernie is now at the controls over at SpeedWorld. And I'm sure he'll have his World Famous Hangover Nationals on New Years '09.

Sal, did not know u were registered on this site as well 
Jeff, yeah, I loved the Hangover Nationals. 1st year I went was in 2003. Cars were just packed in lanes and them some. A little freezing as heck, but it was usually a great 4 day weekend at the strip.
If u talk to him, ask him if he will water the lanes down while ur making a pass
His Bernie Burgers were a good snack.

In a good way or bad way?
For me, it depends on how you look at things. He was nice enough in hiring some folks that would find having a job is a difficult thing back in the days. Granted he was a cheap guy with VHT, but he has been known to glue the track on the right events....guaranteed. He even tried to get me to drive his pick up truck when I broke the Mach1 on the 2nd qualifying pass for the Summit Races. If you do get to know him, he seems to let you do alot of things.
Anyways, he has been in the game for a very long time. First ran Famoso Raceway and then took over LACR. If you all had Blake from Famoso, he could show any one how to run a drag strip. Bernie was the oposite. Hopefully he learned from his failed 660' track venture from the South East Coast last year.
LACR.net still has a forum going on the domestic side. A lot of his employees still throw in a post here and there.
