Is this really that big of a deal? Racers skip events all the time. Look how many guys don't come to The World or The Dream. Not really surprised to see any driver not support a track where they've had issues with officials or management.

True enough, but that is what makes the speculation and discussion so interesting. Bobby has to feel good about all the interest.

I believe he was suggesting the anybody but Bobby group

The regulars he speaks of is the large section of people who dislike Bobby due to comments made about the track. I for one hope to see him there hate to see a good car missing.

I'm sure if this is truly the case that are boycotting the track it has to do more with just them not getting their way but, really we don't know if they will or won't be there at this point but, I get your point.

Skids, I disagree. Every driver the caliber of Bobby has a loyal fan following. I'm not sure what the number is, but there will be fans that go watch Bobby instead of going to FALS on the nights that he would have otherwise been there.
We'll have to agree to disagree there.
Regardless, my point was, it would not adversely affect FALS or Pierce either way. The PDC will be a packed house with, or without. Bobby's loyal fans will still be fans.
My suspicion is that this is a PR ploy by the Pierce team. There is no way that they accidentally took the FALS dates off their schedule. So, that leaves two possibilities. Either they are seriously considering not racing there, or they did it to garner attention and we have obliged by giving it to them.
If anyone sees another possible scenario. I'm all ears.

Do the math... I know there are about an average of 300 fans follow bobby to this race and he has about 50 more people buy pit passes, 300 x $25(general admission) = $7500 plus 50(pit passes) x $35 = $1750 total $9250 this is just a conservative est.

I think those numbers are a little high
-
MY conspiracy theory is that the FALS staff asked him to take FALS dates off his schedule, so it will build up more talk/discussion and speculation on the internet. Both parties are in it together.

you really think your numbers are accurate?
so if Bobby don't go to Fals 300 general admin and 50 pit passes less will be sold? Put the crayons and glue bottle down you're high enough.

You guys are so funny. Haters are gonna hate.... And Bobby will race there when he wants, and yes, All of his hardcore fans will come with him. They will go wherever Bobby goes. And believe me, every promoter wants Bobby and the posse at their track. It means cash and stirs interest in the races.. Cash is what keeps our tracks going.. See you at Fairbury, (a great track) when Bobby races there.

Sounds like he's a bigger draw than Bloomquist

So with my group of 7 (if Bobby is racing) that would be buying pitpasses and the pierces buying 5 pitpasses your saying he will only have 23 fans there. LOL
