I think I'll kick this old thead one more time... drive people away? Alcohol consumption can keep spectators away. Many tracks have no alcohol sections in the grandstands, why do you think that is? Because many fans are turned off by inconsiderate drunks. Now they have a place to sit and not get...

Hey Fast cat, you can only watch Micro's from now on...

6 beers in 4 hours... you better hope no one in law enforcement doesn't read this post. That is over the limit, friend.* Would be easy pickings for police lying in wait outside the track. I'm glad to hear the beer girls watch for drunks, you could really blow it (pun intended) for T-City...

One more thing, if you have insurance, and you think all is good. CHECK THE SMALL PRINT in your policy. You may not be covered for "high risk" activity. Things like auto racing, private plane flying, sky diving. Years ago I checked with my employer to see if I was covered. I was not. I was...

Bopper, t.nie would have more insite on this having lived in the UK. However the simple answer is if you receive universal health care there is no point in suing for it (your medical expenses). In the US If you are hurt in a accident you sue to get compensation (from a person, business, etc...

Right on the money t.nie. (Oops, maybe I shouldn't use the word 'money' in the context of our conversation.) Right on the mark! Shocking how many people vote against their own self interest. I feel if the people were properly informed and not blindly follow partisan political talking heads, paid...

As usual t.nie you give a very insightful comment. Living in the UK for 12 years gives you first hand and long time perspective. I have only visited the UK 9 times, sometimes to race BriSCA stock cars, just hang out, once to get married, be a best man, 50th anniversary of a rare British sports...

Ohamacare is not even close to a national health care system!! The insurance companys and pharmaceutical companies would love for you to think that... they make a butt load of money with Ohamacare, but oh, darn it, now we have to take people with pre-existing health conditions, etc. Insurance...

(I repeat) I know this will cause a brain aneurysm to all you conservatives out there. But just think, none of insurance problems of the Swindell family, plus save money for race tracks and businesses, if there was a national health care system. I have seen it work in person when racing in...

I know this will cause a brain aneurysm to all you conservatives out there. But just think, none of insurance problems of the Swindell family, plus save money for race tracks and businesses, if there was a national health care system. I have seen it work in person when racing in England. Don’t...

This is the promoter/owners comments on Cherry Raceway Facebook. Note the same comments on the radio interview about internet track bashers. Part of his reason to consider selling was these hateful people. This should be a lesson learned. (I'm not discounting the fact the buyer was deceitful...

Thanks ghost... no Keith Kunz cars yet. Still should be a good show.

Looking foreword to the indoor USAC Knepper 55, a warm up to Chili Bowl. After the great USAC/Powri Leffler Memorial at Wayne Co. Speeday that will be hard to follow. My interest in the DuQuoin driver entry list is the car count at USAC Turkey Night GP. 20-21(?) cars. Shocking... now PAS in So...

Thanks Dave.
