For years everyone said that the Mileys needed to go and the track needed a new owner. The Mileys finally sell out in July 23 to a landscaper.Things stayed afloat for awhile but now it seems like the track is ready to close up. Most weeks they do not even get 50 total cars across the 5 divisions. The stands are barren every week now it would appear so you would think they cannot sustain going on like this. The product is boring, whoever they got announcing is horrible and will put you to sleep. One of the biggest shows they got, the Jook George is in 3 weeks yet there has not been any mention of it anywhere that I can see. Seems like they are going the Miley route now and just open the gates and hope people show up.
PPMS on its last legs?

I agree. Been there a few times and it shows they have no clue or back ground running a track. When you hire your Announcer to basically run the place, that's a sign you don't know what your doing. A track with 5 divisions of support classes that gets 5 to 12 cars isn't something people flock to see.

Sad part is, I don’t know the answer. I don’t go there because other tracks have better racing. You get 26+ Lucas SLM and it’s a good race. I really enjoy the ELM!! But they can’t do it every Saturday. What can they do Chrome? Not enough cars to go around to many tracks.

I feel like they would benefit by going the Jack Lentz method of a few specials a year. Sprints, ELM, Jook and Pittsburgher.

I agree. I think that's the tracks biggest problem is letting Tyler run the place. He thinks he knows everything, and keeps making wrong decisions. Last year was a terrible year for them, as the track conditions ran a lot of people off, and it was him thinking he knew better than people with experience, and screwed the track surface up constantly. That deterred a lot of fans for sure, who said they won't come back. Also, there's been way too much drama and fighting and favoritism at the track, especially this year. Not a good look for them.
I also don't know the answer to fix it, but hopefully they figure it out soon so they can right the ship before it's too late. All kinds of hype for new owners and improvements, but the product is definitely going backwards, and running fans and teams away.

I just wanted to say I greatly appreciate all of the kind words about the ELM and it being mentioned among the big events all year at PPMS. I take great pride keeping it relevant after 14 years. Thank you.

Great exciting show last night.
... and they ran the sprints heats last with the sprints out first for the features.
That IMHO was a good decision changed at the last minute to NOT make everyone wait till last to see the sprints.
... can't get my money out fast enough to see another show like last night.
Once Bowser figured out he was cleaning Flicks clock in one and two and figured out the line Flick was taking in three and four the show was over for Flick.
Great run Mr Bowser.
