Friendship motor speedway nc shuts down

I know they will try really hard. Clean restrooms (especially the women's), over by 10:30, and decent food are my big three... I have only been around them for a couple of months but great group of people, they are new to promoting but have a lot of support and the right reason for doing so.

It reminds me of a local track owner who had the greatest track ever, Moulton. Then he retired and has leased it to many others. The latest guy is killing the track. Word was nobody in the stands, late night intermissions, stupid ideals, track ruff and so dusty at times, just bad. I bet the owner wishes he could find someone who would run a track like he did. Now days, it is fly by night want to bees who don't have the brains nor money backing needed to run a business. As another track owner told me, you can make money off of the small car locals (pits and family) by running local only, don't need out of town fans.
