But then as time went by she would only show up once, maybe twice a month, and I noticed the “price” was going up. Harder to get a good seat, too, if you know what I mean. Lot’s of other customers and fans. The drought in between “shows” was starting to take its toll on me, too. Believe you me – I was becoming a lost man! Desperate! No loving in site! Thought I was at the end of my rope! And then one day I looked around the "bar” and realized there were other options. Maybe not as good, but at least cheaper if anything. I needed a fix. Bad, too. The monkey was on my back. Now, I have to admit it, I find myself getting around a lot more these days. Gas City, Butler, Hartford, Crystal, I-96, Plymouth….. I’m up for it. Front gate. Back gate. Tail gate. Pit gate. Big tracks. Short tracks. One groove tracks. Real wide tracks. Slick tracks. Tacky tracks. Dusty tracks. Red clay. Black clay. Brown clay. I don’t care anymore. I shower the dirt off the next morning! But as much as that aforementioned monthly deal has taken its toll on me, I still go back when I can. And it is GREAT! I don’t care how many other fans are in the same house! I’ve become a dirt track *****. It’s a pretty cool life. I recommend it to all.

Always need to remember they race on Sunday night. Die hard fans will always show up but casual fans or those not local may not want to attend when they have to work the next day. Also, crowds at Kokomo dwindle during August after school starts so they decided to do 3 nights of a special show in lieu of 3 regular poorly attended shows. Smackdown has been a tremendous success. I no longer live in Kokomo but when I did I would in a heartbeat trade 3 weekly shows for Smackdown. Yes it costs more but buy tickets early and you get a pit pass and if money is tight you have the winter to save up. BTW, I will come back to IN from NC for Smackdown. Everyone will view this differently but since the track continues to have special events it is obviously better for attendance and profits or they would change

If the money is there, do it.
If the money isn't there, then you shouldn't do it. Simple short track formula..... |

I wouldn't call wanting weekly shows "complaining", more like stating a wish.... can't always get what you want... I wish they had 410s in Colorado! oh well..... |

I was at the King of the Wings show at Baer Field on Sunday before a pretty heavy rain washed it out just before the heats.
Just curious. If Kokomo would have scheduled a race last Sunday, would they have been rained out anyway? |
