you better be careful the holy grail on this message board will be after you next for speaking on anything that goes against what they beleive, be prepared to get booted off stifI had the feeling after starting to read the posts on this topic that the mini sprints would come in and they did. i think people need to realize that the stocks were plan and simply cut out last year so the thought of add them year and they'll be back I think it's going to take more than that build the class. There are some classes that have strong turnouts but if you have watched for the most part they have dropped in numbers from the previous few years. You don't see the non-wing guys from indiana why because they aren't going to run for $700, that payout has gone from $1200 2 years ago to $1000 last year and now to $700. The price of fuel is going back up, just saw $2.65 today and that's not helping. We put the show together in Piqua for the past 6 years and this year I talked to alot of those that participated about how the economy is going to effect them. At that time fuel was down and many said they were cutting back and some said if there are chances of rain they weren't going to try to go with the chance of a rain out and money spent for nothing. Another thing that's effecting some people that attending the meetings the first of the year is they were told each night one class will be paid a bonus and it will be announced what class that will be at the drivers meeting and from what I have heard from those that I talked to that have been there so far this year, not the first big payout has been added. Attitude towards the drivers and crews means alot and if you think about what is the attitude at the drivers meeting by the track staff? If you treat those that support you the way you expect them to treat you then they'll be back, but yelling before things even get started ain't the answer. The first night the mini sprints raced they had a first time winner, I hear from spectators on the front stretch that when that driver pulled in to have Kenny take his picture a gentleman on a Mule pulled up and told him to get the car to the scales now and they could hear all of this loud and clear. What was the big deal to scale we asked to scale our car that night before the heat races to be sure we made weight and they told us they weren't working and that the cars would be rolled across them so it looks good. All in all I think there are alot of different things that are causing the car counts to drop and I just hope they don't take it out on one or two classes and say that's it your done. Thius Sat. I don't see a few classes with big turnouts do to the time of year like graduations and calls were made to Dean about this because it will effect car counts in classes like the mini sprints. Yes everything that I posted here was discussed with Dean so I have spoken to him but that's all I can do, the staff controls alot of their destiny.
