B99, you hit on a couple things that are true. One thing that I’m not willing to give up on yet is the promoter. I think the track has been good, and he pulled off a miracle Sprint Week and the track was as good as I’ve seen it in a very long time. For that feat alone he deserves more time and it’s been a very small sample size so far. Now 20 bucks for a grandstand ticket and 10 bucks for infield is outstanding. It’s still on Sunday night which counts me out, but I hope that fills the place up. Whoever made that call should take a bow

Ah yes, it is the team owners and the drivers at fault for the end of racing - even though a majority are doing it as a money loss.

Running a race team has for most, never been a profit making proposition. If you don't know that going in, you are living on Fantasy Island.

So genius, explain why the bigger money shows tend to draw less cars, and why some teams will stay home for 1400 to win when another track in the state is paying 20K to win?

Own 2 cars. Knew going in that I was never going to make money, but we still show up to race when we can. Have been to Lincoln Park, Bloomington, Circle City, and Terre Haute already this year. Still have Haubstadt, Red Hill, Lincoln Park, and Kokomo on our schedule.

Again, I would like to understand why the owners and racers are the ones to blame.
