    How can anyone expect a track to grow if people keep pulling the plug after one year.

      Totally agree..I thought when the contract was signed, I was like heck ya..But if he signed a contract how can they break the contract?Can't Young's still make them pay?
      If it slings dirt and goes sideways & fast I like it......

          The track needs to be sold it is for sale but the youngs can't all agree on a price ive heard way to much on it .The problem with leasing it you pay alot of money and the track needs alot of money spend on it but you can't afford to do it with a lease not much money to be made that way

            Let me just say this, First the Young Family has been nothing but Great to the racing community. But in these times the property is worth more as anything BUT a racetrack. It's not like the ole days of a cowpasture with some bleachers and a track. The overhead of LEASING and Operation go up ever year, while the attendance goes down. The amount of money it takes now days far outweighs the take home pay. I think that Timmy has shown that he give all his time and effort toward making it work. When the dust settles it just isn't worth it. I also think that Timmy has showed just how hard it was to make it work. Most folks want to lay blame somewhere that is not fair to the owners and promoters and that is just not the case with this racetrack.

              When income is far below expenses, I don't see how you can expect Timmy to continue running the track. There items were not close to being even. The promoter at Trii-County at least made a profit but decided it was so small that he did not return.

                    Maybe Mr. Millwood will go back to wake up Sugar Creek! I miss that track! The drive to the track is pleasant and the track nestled up in the mountains is cool! I remember a few years ago when that track was a treat to go to on friday nights. T.M. did a great job up there! I still got Dixie to the south, Rome to the west, Cleveland and Tri-county on up north but my little Georgia mountain triangle is withering away. I would like to see someone like Ray Cook pick these tracks up(Sugar Creek and North Georgia). I really hope North Georgia is not dead.

                        replying to tread

                        A bunch of you are right why cant some of these big money makers in supers step up and help timmy i talked to timmy last season and i must say hes a class act and they had a great fireworks show there buttttt if you dont make money or enough to make a profit and maint. up keep then your in a loseing battle i think timmy would have been the missing pc to n.ga but this day in time its hard to keep that cash cow afloat so guess this is it sux but maybe that ogirl will rise once again in due time guess ill just have to built me a a or b hobby car i love the love mini class but they also are a dieing breed in these parts. well to the ones that know me talk to uall at a track this year or somthing goodbye.

                          If Timmy doesn't have any money then the contract means nothing.You can't pay the purse with a contract.

                            if your not 100% sure but you have heard the track is not going to be open why post something like that. Im 100% sure that post was uncalled for.

                              I can't help but to conclude that if the economy was looking good for 2011, we would'nt be discussing this topic. N Ga is a FUN track to drive and good to learn on(just too many dogs!) As for Sugar Creek, theres almosy NO money being made there in the surrounding areas for fans to spend.
                              I blame the America hating, job killing half-breed, Kenyan born, joker in the WH!
