sounds good to me scrap the half and 1/quarter and go 3/8th s on sunday nightRingo1066 said:Any of us "old" enough to remember Sunday nights at Shaheens in Springfield, IL, can tell you that Sunday night is some of the best racing you'll find. I'm sure, Jimmy, that enough support would exist from both drivers and fans if done right. First, as you have seen, the people want to see LM's. Also, I think you would definitley have to have the track on the IL side. This way you could draw all the way from Farmer City to Mt. Vernon and over to Pevely. That includes a lot of tracks and a lot of potential fans. Starting at 3 would be suicide. I agree with the person who suggested 6. Gives plenty of time especially if you don't get crazy with too many classes. Also, make sure you get in on a couple of big shows like summernationals, Nalms, Stacker2 or Woo to get a little track recognition.
Having said all that I really don't think Tri-city is the answer. Late Models would have a terrible time negotiating the one-groove 1/4 and any driver will tell you that unless you got the big sponsors, you don't have the money to run the half every week. Maybe if the 1/4 was expanded to 1/3 and a bit steeper bank, the LM's would have a better chance at a good show.
I know my opinion and a dollar will get me a cup of coffee, but every fan should be heard on this and I hope we get a show somewhere on Sunday nights. I sure as hell miss it.
OK. In a recent meeting with an area track owner and an area track promoter it was told that kevin had purchased tri-city and would like to run sundays . ok so what that would be a good thing . what i would like to know is why when we try to talk about it on this site jimmy takes it off . ( and yes i know its his site ) just seems strange to me that we cant decide what and when we can talk about on this topic ..jdearing said:If or when it is sold, it will be news that is posted.
BOS said:the only way tri city would work on sunday is to have cars on the half mile. you have a nice half mile track, fairly local and its not even being used. ofcourse you need to have rules that offer other local cars to go there also a competetive payout would help. when you have a good car count the half puts on a good show. Ive seen the half go from 30 cars to 10 to 0 over the last few years. even if tri city stays on sat. they would have a better crowd with late models and mods on the half.
