Meeting with friends was just about all it was good for. From a vendors stand-point, it was nothing but a display show. Mini PRI show.
By the way, $4.50 for a hot dog is pretty damn rediculous. Thats the same as stealing. |

I had a great time seeing everyone again but I do agree that the food cost ( for a fat boy) where just a little high. Like a mile or two high. How can they get away way with prices like that??? At some point you have to say enough. Just a fat boys opinion.

As far as the concession stand: I do want to make clear that we have NOTHING to do with them! They are a fairgrounds deal. I totally agree that $4.50 for a hot dog is ridiculous (I did not look at the prices, but I'll take your word for it)! We had a couple of issues with the concession folks this year. So along with our concerns, we will bring up this issue too, when we meet this week. |

Yeah, I prefer sprint cars, but there are A LOT of mods out there. And these teams are very well funded.

All of us at Tom Wieck Auctions want to thank all of Shoestring Racing for allowing us to be a small part of your show... We also want to thank everyone that came out to the show and supported it.
The auction was very successful with right at 500 lots and a nice variety of rolling stock... A good crowd was on hand and most stayed to the very end... We learned a few things to change for next year and look forward to returning next year... Thanks again, Tom |

Well said and THANK YOU!!!! We in the mod class spend a ton of money for next to nothing pay and get little recognition for the talent that is in the modified class. Sprint cars will always be the race car that is near and dear to my heart but I got to tell ya the modifieds are probably the most competive class out there. I know, I know this is a sprint car forum so I'll stop while I'm a head.

crazy idea here, why not concider haveing the show at one of the other central indiana fairgrounds? Several have 3 buildings that would equal those 2 pretty easy. Then you could save parking and drop the admisison.

Another crazy idea. For a show that you want greenbacks traded for parts etc. how about a few ATM machines in the building ???
