Topics I've Started

Just some random thoughts

10 December 2010 - 04:11 PM

I've had some random thoughts floating around in my head about how to add some flare to WRP. These are strictly my thoughts and not thoughts or ideas affiliated WRP. 1. Sell a season pass. A pass that will be discounted for the entire schedule. If there are a certain percentage of rain-outs then a portion could be refunded. This would have potential to save the weekly supporters some money and give WRP some fan assurance. 2. WRP Weekly coupons to be handed out. many of us have helped dean to hand out flyers in the past but instead of just handing out the flyers have a coupon attached to them. Once the coupon is handed in then this would give you a good indication if this type of marketing is working or not. 3. Check into a small play area for kids. We rally need to have a place that is monitored by an adult for the kids to play at. let's face it all the younger kids lose intrest after awhile and really need a place to play. I'm not sure what this would do to insurance rates but it's something worth looking at. 4. Meet the driver events. I think this is a must. We must have fan driver interaction! 5. Have the winning driver bring his car/truck to a winners area (near where Skinny Kenny sets up) for a 15 minute autograph session. We have done this in the past but I think it needs to be a regular activity. Maybe even make victory lane a place where all fans can access it rather than hold up all the races for photo's and interviews. Now what other track has an exclusive fan friendly victory lane? The only thing we would have to consider is how to keep children away from hot headers on the cars. 6. Win pace truck rides. We have done this in the past and I think it's a great idea. Fans could pace the field for the A-Mains and not have to spend a dime to do it. The winners would be picked from their general admission tickets. 7. Have some sort of costumed character entertaining kids or handing out treats. may sound corny but I think the kids would really enjoy it. 8. For a holiday show (Memorial day or 4th of July) have a two day show that would include other activities. Possibly tug-a-truck, demo derby, quad races or drags. It would be nice to have extra entertainment for after the races for campers such as a country band. 9. Work with local business in surrounding area. Their receipt will get $2 off at WRP and vice versa. 10. Try to organize with a local event in the Lake area that both of us could draw from. For instance a bikers event during the day and toy drive at night. 11. Signage on 33??? Not sure what this would take but we could at least put weekly temporary signs up. 12. Fan suggestion box. 13. Car show during the day and racing in the evening. 14. Camp and race weekend package with local campgrounds at Indian Lake. Work with local campgrounds to give the people something to do in the evenings when camping. 15. One race event that would be interesting would be a compact versus 4cylinder truck challenge. I know some may not think so but I think this would be interesting to see. 16. Work with Lima on some dual track weekend events. I think this would go over well. 17. College student discounts. 18. Group rates if called in advance. Pre-sale group rates. I know some of these ideas are ones that you the racers have brought up before and they are good ideas. Some have talked about building an atmoshpere and all these ideas are atmoshpere building ideas. I'm sure there are many other ideas but I think if we could keep this tread proactive and not negative that we could help put some spirit in the place. Greg has already announced that he is running the same classes as next season so lets all work together to come up with ideas to put some fans in the seats.

Only things wrong are the service soon light is on. This light is for emmission sensors only. Then when you are getting up to speed there is a rattle noise. From everything that I've read I'm pretty sure it's the EGR valve bad. New one at Autozone is $59. Once the engine levels out the noise goes away. No performance issue at all. Book value is $6000 the way it sits and that's fair condition book value. We have it priced to move quick at $4900. OBO call Dan & Amanda at 419-674-3828
