Hey Bob try to stay in stand and watch some truck races. I know there not as fast as other classses but they do put on good sidebyside racing alot of times. And they do bring a good count of trucks week after week.

I have!!! many of nights. I dont agree with you. To me it is no differnt than the compacts were. I want to see cars backing it in the corners, not cars that look like they are driving on asphalt. I know a few of the drivers that race these trucks and respect the time, money and effort they put in them. I just dont like to watch them.
Not everybody will agree with me and I don't expect them to. I have sat next to people who didnt like watching the sprint cars, thats there opinon. Thats why I liked it there. you had plenty of classes to choose from. As far as the trucks having a good count. So did the compacts. The stock cars did two years ago untill they cut back there races last year, So do the mods. Two years ago the sprints were lucky to get 10 cars. So who cares how many they get.

The place is a decent facilty at best. The track is the best it has been since it was open. Thanks to Cub. Cast Iron junkie. You are doing a nice job trying to promote your race you are having there. Do you really think that you are trying to help the stock car class by giving them one race. Most of the drivers are pissed off since they cannot race all season. So I highly doubt that you are going to get any cars. Your races are on Sunday (I know this is the best you can do and that you are trying hard to get this done). This is hard for fans and drivers to make it out on a Sunday night. For the mods I cannot belive that they waited on Eldora's schedule to have the mods run. They only get a couple of cars from there anyway. I know a fewcar owners that are really bumed that they pulled this deal. I love to watch the spints there, but they cut the purse on them, so the car counts will be down. You really do not think that the boys form Indiana will travel over here to run for chump change do you! Waynesfield got rid of the compacts, Why?? Because everybody hated them, Same with the trucks. I have seen posts on here were the drivers defend there class. I understand there point. It is a lot less expensive to run. As a fan in the stands I HATE THEM they are slow and boring. There has never been a time were they are even a little exciting to watch. I usally get up and go get a hotdog when they get on the track. Oh and the mini sprints they are OK to watch I am lookng forward to seeing the 1000C class coming this year. I do not unerstand all that goes into promoting a track nor do I want to, but I do know that a track cannot survive with out people in the stands. It sounds like a lot of problems with all the hush hush going on. I was told that It will be under new management next year anyway. With Create latemodels. What a waste if this is true. I say leave it the way it was last year. Sprints, Mods, Stocks, Minis, and yes the trucks as well. 5 classes of races is well worth the price of admission. I wish you luck,but I think until things change I am going to go to a few other tracks and give them my money. At least they take into condsideration of what there fans want.
