      God almighty! FUTURE PROMOTERS PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THIS GUY IS MAKING. For some reason, this person feels like it is a great idea for practice to happen the night before every single SLM race. WHYYYY!!!! This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life. It's like the Ice Bowl every single weekend, we already know who's going to win because the track is locked down and one lane every single week. WORK ON THE TRACK! MAKE NORTH GEORGIA SPEEDWAY GREAT AGAIN! Come on Trump, do something!

        I'm sure someone is going to say, "Hey man just be happy..." BULLCRAP! I am done being happy at the racetrack, because I want it to be good, and I can already see in my head how terrible its gonna be with the one chance some good cars come into town and we shoot our load on having a dang open practice and let the track be locked down and one lane for a boring train race.

        Somebody else will prolly say "Just don't come", NO I'm gonna be there because I support the track every single week, but nobody gets on here and says a word and the things are gonna continue to be the same if something isn't said.

          I agree completely. Track is usually good for practice Friday night and then junk for the race Saturday, you would think they'd get the picture. Its sad because I remember the days when the track would be lightening fast in hot laps, then by feature time it slowed down and was multi-groove. Key thing was they didn't have practice the night before to kill the track and then do nothing besides put about 2 loads of water on it before the race... it just frustrates me beyond belief they continue to shoot themselves in the foot like that!!!

            You'll get the practice money allows the show to happen remark. It's actually correct and sad at the same time. Promotion is dead unless you count posting on Facebook.

              The man is right. If they don't recut the track, practice nights are the worst. As a spectator I'd rather pay 30 than 20 to get in on Saturday to off set money track needs from Friday.

                I would gladly pay the extra ten. back in my mx days, the only time you got practice was race day. then slowly tracks starting having all day practice day before race. on mx track really didn't matter. but I feel it gives an advantage to those who show up to practice.

                    I hate races the day after practice unless you completely rework the track after practice night. This race last year the track was actually decent and they practiced the night before.

                    For a $4k to win race put more emphasis on getting people in the front gate instead or trying to pay for it with your back gate.

                      This might be the biggest race at NGS in nearly a decade. They need to step it up. Hit all fronts of social media. Put up banners along the highway. Get some excitement going. I'll do my best to help

                        Promotion is a joke here. In the early 2000s this was the place to be. Stands packed every Saturday. Pits full of cars. Great atmosphere. First track I ever made laps at. I have always loved north ga but ever since Monty Morrow first got control its been a steady decline with very few highs in between. Gar (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)son ran the place right. I do understand that no one wants to sink the money needed to turn it around when all you do is pay a lease to the Youngs. If the Youngs would turn loose and a good promoter with some capital could purchase the track it could rise from the dead. I mean you hear commercial on the radio all the time about Dixie and Rome. Signs and banners all over the place. North Ga you hear either by friends, Facebook, or the sign on 225 that's it. I live 15 mins away but will drive 45 to go to Dixie.

                            Y'all are all over it! Y'all are all over it like dust on a north Georgia speedway fans face!!

                            They night before practice caters to slappys who "need to practice".... for once can we cater to the big dogs?! Let's see some blistering bad fast racing... I think the last time the track was fast Ty Dillon was 15 years old, in the 3, and was shting green.. he turned 25 the other day. CB may not be the best promoter but..... well I guess that's it. On the flip side I'm with you Badfaist.. ILL PROMOTE THE RACE AS BEST AS I CAN and I'll be in the seats with a truck backed in.

                                Somehow I got a feeling both y'all got a grill chained to a tree near your favorite spot at NGS.......and I mean that in the kindest of ways.

                                My closest track is almost 2 hrs away, I envy you guys that live close to the home track,

                                I'm picking the 101
                                Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
