#433071 Payout for Lernerville

Posted by norwinrunner on 23 August 2017 - 10:25 AM

54Warrior you are so 1000% correct. Even at 47 I still love to read the stories before I started to go to races. (Late starter in my early 20's) of how it used to be. Track and racers Thursday thru Sunday. I'm sure everybody tried to one up each other but it was a few $$$ spent and not thousands. Everybody racing is older. There is no new generation because cost of entry for anything besides a 4 banger is not realistic for the average person.

It's tough watching things you loved as a youth disappear. Horse racing is on life support. Who remembers watching PBA bowling in the winter at 3pm on ABC when it was a big deal. It's funny to look back when it was a bigger prize fund than golf.

I don't have an answer either. It's a bad trend of less gate means less prize fund which means less cars and even less gate.


#423114 Something other than Firecracker this weekend

Any idea where the Lernerville sprint guys are running this weekend? Brother-in-law is in from Winston-Salem and I'm trying to convince him asphalt is for getting to track and not racing on it.
