Apparently, Tri City is switching nights. The new owners say Sunday is no good for them and will run Fridays or Saturdays. Not sure how that will work. Guess it depends on what divisions they plan on running.

It's popping off on their facebook post.  Looking at who voted for Friday and Saturday nights was interesting.  I just hope they talked to their staff before making this decision.

I looked at the names who replied..some carry more weight than others.

 

but it seems this new owner could care less?

his post on the subject turned me away from even commenting.

reminded me too much of what we used to have in our past.."if you don't like it,there's the door!" 

 

wish him luck..he will need it.

I felt they were doing some good things but that guy has made a couple of posts that have shown me all I needed to see. Its gonna go the way of all of the other my way or the highway guys. It ends with a big for sale sign out front.

That is how Tri-City usually ends anyways.  Everyone says Sunday Nights but they never get enough support to stay open.

Tried Fridays with late models a few years ago and Im not even sure they finished the season. I just know it went over like a fart in church then. Idk what the fix is but telling anyone who presents other ideas to pound salt isnt the way to gain support. Im not even a stay on Sundays guy, Im open to hearing other ideas. I just feel pretty certain going head to head with Sharon or Lernerville basically running the same divisions is a fools errand and bad for everyone. But like he said, its his money to throw away as he pleases.

If Lernerville sprint car guys hate Lernerville as much as they say they do, wouldnt they just stay home on Friday and run Sunday? The day of the week isnt what keeps people away. Its the surface and the way every promoter since Mike and Roger talk to and treat people.

They announced Fridays. 410s, Super Lates, Big Blocks, Pro Stocks, Rush sprints and rush stocks. Not sure how that's going to work out for them. Lernerville will probably need to up the 410 purse to match. The super late guys from Lernerville aren't gonna go to Tri city.

I think running against Lernerville with almost the same divisions is foolish, but as Hot Dog said above, it's the promoter's money to throw around
