LaSalle Lucas race cancelled

[huskerdirt]

A couple of things about buying advance tickets.

One is that you really don’t get a deal by the time you add in processing and handling fees. I got my SDN tickets and campsites. Even though the track offered a “deal” when buying in advance. By the time I paid, I was out $6 more than if I waited till the day of to purchase all that stuff. Outside of the World, Knoxville Nationals, Florence and maybe gateway. There’s not a darn track in the country that should offer advance tickets. Absolutely no need for it.

Another is there’s no guarantee that the race will happen. Rock concerts and such sell out because 99.9% of the time the concert will go on as scheduled. Especially in an arena, so weather can’t play a factor. Even if the track cancels and refunds money. You are still out those process and handling fees.

Right on husker I seen on another site someone get shouted down just for asking a simple question, got told to shut up and be happy theres still a track to race at..smh I dont like this fall in line, follow the herd mentality, nothing wrong with thinking differently and outside the box we want the best product we can get...

CnB I dont know the details but your right idk if its right or wrong, but sometimes in life you half to swallow ur pride...

And Deer Creek maybe for a makeup...

I have nothing against Mr Izzo at all. I’ve never wished his events or that LaSalle would fail.

The paper trail leading to this race being cancelled and LaSalles demise is right in front of everybody. Nobody but Tony put it on front street. I’ve never heard a promoter say if X race doesn’t do well. We might have to close up. But hey we are making facility improvements. That literally makes no sense.

IIRC, Lucas makes you show that you can guarantee the purse 7 days out. Anybody wanna guess what today is?

And not to rehash the Richards deal. Once the promoter agrees to let X series come to his track. Then it becomes the series show and you follow there rules/lineups/procedures.

Yes there seems to great deal of falling in line on this board regarding certain topics. A lot of people love Izzo and a lot of those seem people absolutely hate UMP. I do find comical how bad the bias is between those two.

Track will be closed soon.

Let's hope that's not the case.

I agree with shiny side up. Be a good weekend for the 50k modified race to reschedule also

Big chance for Farley! I agree with Wildman, track looks doomed!
