I miss the sunday afternoon races. You could have a sunday afternoon picnic at the track see some great racing and home early in the evening. Put you in a good mood before going to work on Monday.

It's great to have people willing to look past the recent history and willing to sink $$$ and time into the track.
Growing up announcers would call qualifying and say, 'so and so. He won at Terre Haute..." It was understood that it was a big race.
Competing weekly against the established tracks around it sounds too difficult to me.
If they can build 6-8 good dates this year, with real fan support THAT will be OK after all.:applaud::applaud::applaud:

Gerry Olsen tried a weekly type thing for a while and it didn't work. No people or cars. THAT is a Special only track.

If Mike, Brian & Davey are the choice of the fair board. then drop the:greenflag: on this deal and let them get to work on dates and repairs to facility, so THAT lives up to the name "ACTION TRACK"

I sure hope there are a couple of Silver Crown races there with midgets and sprints as well.
Doesn't matter who was there first.Zoning, ordinances and such.

I think the problem with running a weekly show is that your normal crowd gets used to paying 10 or 12 bucks at the gate, then a special event rolls in and the gate is 25. I think a lot of the normal crowd stay home then. A bunch of them are there to see their driver in a modified or Late model anyway, so the decision is easy. I wish it would work, but I just think special events are the way to go, at least at Terre Haute.
