i enjoyed myself when i went there...i was just stating who wants to pay 25 grand to be an owner when the track barely runs??

You were alywayts a huge supporter !! So what better way to show your support than to drop 25 k to have a say in the decision making process ??

Its just promoted and run so poorly, that itll have a hard time keeping its head over water, until a change is made.

Hesston had 40 cars at their last event in each class , seems the PR man has done a good job at this,,, was at the outlaw shows at dog hollow in 2011 and at Selinsgrove outlaw event that rained out 2012 and none of these tracks had the car count Hesston has been getting,, looks like you do not have your fact right again and are just bashing one of the tracks trying different things to get people and cars to their track

Maybe he is just not able to run more that 6 events due to health issues and wants a few other people to help bring it back to weekly racing. Im sure he does not want to give up or sell out. It is alot easier to trust someone to make a decision when they also have something to lose. It is always easier to waste other peoples money but when its your own you think about it a little more before throwing it in on a hunch.

I called and I have spoke to Mr Eriksen and being a small business man myself I do understand that Hesston Speedway is offering the opportunity for other small business people to own "stock/shares/piece of the business corporation". Eriksen said each Share holders will become board members of the speedway and would work side by side in the operation of the speedway and share the duty's of operating the Speedway, Eriksen said you cannot just sell shares to anyone , he said these people need business background but they also need racing background as-well, and must be willing to work and help in bring the speedway to the next level, Eriksen said I still have things to do at the speedway, and health issues have slowed me down, and health issues is why the 2013 is limited to 6 events, finding people to do long hours on the weekends is very hard, Eriksen said for every race event it adds 40 hours or more to my work week, Eriksen said in 2012 I tried to do 12 events with radiation and chemo I was forced to cancel some of the events, These new Share holders will be part owners, these people will share the load in the event I need to continue treatments,,
After talking to this man for one hour or more, I can see this guy is looking long term into the future something most people.

I Have stood and talked to Mr Eriksen each and everytime ive been to hesston, this season i plan on making all 6 of his races, i have 0 complaints. The man is genuine and has a plan, provides us with a good payout and a pretty level playing field, and will take the time to talk to you. the night it rained and they couldnt get the track run in, he knew he put too much water on the track, he admitted it, and apologized. Dave was down and out that day, he looked as if he could barely function, i offered to help run the track in, but he said it would be several hours until it came around, and thought it would be best to pull the plug. i was upset about the decision, but understood. some of you people need to look at the big picture, give the man some credit, and quit hiding behind a screen name. if you dont like it, dont go. . . .
