1) Make shows quick, concise and fun. This includes prompt start times, but also short intermissions, tight rule enforcement, down-time entertainment.

Friends,
Five years ago tonight, the lives of every one of our family members changed drastically and dramatically when our father and husband, Dave Walker, fell ill with what we thought would be a stroke. Later in the week we would find out his diagnosis, unfortunately was an incurable brain...
I remember Marion as being quiet, confident and very good at what he did. My dad respected everyone he worked with, but there was a deeper respect for Marion. In the professor/pupil manner. I have a feeling, though I never thought to ask dad, I'm certain he would call Marion a mentor and a...
Don't forget the race at Infineon. Talk about market saturation. They eliminated a race at Darlington for California and it has paid them back accordingly.
Some of my favorites were Mark Voigt's modified, late 80s'; Todd Rehg's first car (blue #4); Gundaker's modified; Heimberger's car (saw pics, never saw it race), Herman Handradtt's blue #68 that he drove from home to Belle-Clair because it was right next door.

Sparky,
After all you did as a friend to my dad, I want you to know that if there is anything you need, please feel free to contact me. May God be with you and your family.

$200,000 for a non-points race!?!
Two questions for NASCAR:
What would you have done had a big name guy tried the same thing?
What would you have done if a big name team had done it in a points race?
My guess is that it wouldn't have been the same. Can't disappoint the fans by not...
Denny,
Get well soon. You have always been one of my favorite people in the St. Louis area. Everytime I think about you, or hear your name I can't help but smile. Your energy and smile bring so much to Highland and Belleville.
Get well soon so you can see your Bulldogs make a long run...
