how has car counts been this year for regular nights? at your home track. seems like more more cars/drivers are fading away. Ole poor lil peoria speedway not getting many cars at all. things are not what they use to be for dirt track racing! FFFF ''Covid19''.......
it's not covid. the manufacturers and racing organizations will not get together and make changes to save whats left of late model racing.
regular shows are a quick way to go broke, these days. Theres going to be a bigger draw somewhere within 2 hours of just about every dirt track in America and fans/cars will be drawn there instead of regular pay.
You can't pay what you were paying 15 or 20 years ago and expect to draw a crowd of. Cars or people a lot of tracks can't do that but you have got to pay or go.Quote:

If everyone who can't run with him stayed close to home, only 3 or 4 would be on the road.Quote:

Smart hard working promoters are seeing good attendance almost every weekend……it’s pretty easy to look around and see who those promoters/tracks are.
The current economic ridiculousness is taking its normal organic toll on racers and fans and people are having to make decisions but people are still racing and people are still watching…….or at least where I’ve been this year they are.
BBQ has it right. We have good regular weekly racing here in the Carolinas. Good crowds and ok car counts.
