[chrisd4]

ok folks ive worked at ngs for two seasons and raced there for round five years ill tell ya this much as for the youngs they are some of the best folks around i NEVER had a problem with them. kevin and kelly young are two really good men who love ngs and really wanted it to stay open butttt times are tuff if things dont get better soon we may not have any tracks open round these parts of the country and ill say as for the ellises they to are some really good folks. hey they all tried to make ngs work butt maybe if work picks up people get back to work and start racing again and fans show back up the track may run again who knows for sure is the good lord. i hate that ngs is closed but why bash people heck we all have did our best so thats how i see it truthfuly and i have nothing but respect for the youngs and ellises.

the last guys just got it so their son could win. maby some one will get it and have a few big shows along with weekly, and make it go.

The problem is the same at every track that goes under these days...A lack of promoters ...tomany tracks have track operaters and no real promotors...I only live about 25 minutes from the track and I NEVER!!! and I mean NEVER see or hear any local advertising..But I see Dixie and Rome stuff all over...I live about half way between Dixie and North Ga....there is no reason for that...I have been to a ton of race tracks all over the south and mid west...The economy is bad but that is no reason,,,I see tracks that are at this time having some of there best years ever the last few seasons...to many rule chances that dont make sence and cost racers too much money and a lack of promoting is one of the worst problems these days...

Hmmmmmmmmmm... I know this will never happen, but wonder if Mickey Swims could do anything with North GA? Dixie has a packed house (pits and grandstands) EVERY single week just running reg shows. And two weeks ago at Rome, there was hardly any room to stand and watch the race. He could make North GA into a (5-6 show a year) Friday night track like Rome is on Sunday nights. Wonder if the Dixie regs would come up and support him? Like I said, I know it will NEVER happen, but it would be interesting.

That would never work, I don't think any track is going to run against Boyd's on Friday night. Also a lot of Dixie guys probably couldn't get off time and up here with the hour or so drive on Friday nights. This is a SATURDAY night track.

when you have atlanta area as a source of fans thats a lot of people to choose from.

Does anybody remember?

Does anyone remember the Tri Racing circuit? It worked back in the day for Mickey and Mike .... why not give it a shot again? Replace West Atlanta on the schedule with NGS..... I'm in...

SoNats?

I wonder how this will effect Ray Cook's Southern Nationals race that was scheduled there for Thursday, July 19?

[Ford motorsports]

I'm sure Ray will lease the track or something for this race.

[badacefaist19]

I would hope so. But I don't think that would be too likely of Ray. That's a lot of money to spend for one night of racing.
