      It took one race as a promoter to realize every banner is subject to disappearing unless you have good security or you nail it down.

          I have noticed that folks seem to assume the banners are free to take and the track and series in no way wants to keep them.. as last year say 2 or 3 guys going and snipping banners down.. that in no way you'd think was associated with the track/series.

            What i found cool was asking racing parts suppliers for banners prior to an event...pretty easy. Holley sent me a dozen big banners... also got Comp, Isky, JE and several more. Even Ford sent a few...

              We camped at a 2-day WoO Sprint show at Cedar Lake a month ago. Saturday morning most of the banners along the fence were taken after night 1. I don't understand the fascination.

                That is a cool banner.. I would display that in my garage but hopefully Fairbury gets it back but I feel like it's long gone by now

                  Trying to justify the actions of a thief is about as low as being one.

                    You would need a warehouse to display that banner.

                      Not the particular banner in question, but I've been told that the companies that have those banners hanging at a track put them there knowing that race fans will remove them and take them home. Advertisement-advertisement-advertisement! They would just as soon see them hanging in someones shop or man cave as to see them discarded after a race.

                      I've also seen guys out removing them during the main event before. Like they were on a quest for racing souvenirs and could care less that they were missing the main attraction that they paid to see. Seemed kind of strange.

                        I have a 6' big Johnson racing banner that we got at Pennsboro in the mid 90's. Dad takes it to big races a d we let anyone that wants to sign it have at it. Pretty cool to look back at all the places its been. But, stealing is stealing and honestly, who needs a 100' banner other than a racetrack?

                            Entitled race fans, no use for em. Person that will do this will take something from your campsite or from the back of a pickup.
                            I hate time trials.

                              on regular banners you r right ..hoosier or vp banners, they know will be gone...but this one was special made just for fals and was to be used over again...and it was paid for by a sponsor...so this is a little different....
