Good Luck Bob

When a lot of people were taking shots at Sarge several years ago, I never quite got it. Great track prep guy, runs a snappy show, stays consistent (like it or not). Always like the job he does. No promoter is perfect, but Sarge is a very good dirt track promoter. Hope this goes well for him.

Go 18!!

From a spectators point of view he does do a good job running the show and is a good promoter for the fans. Hopefully he and his staff do a good job there and revitalize a local short track.

I real hope he does a good job the people really turn out there and there is so much history there it's unreal over 35 Daytona 500 winners have raced there.

Yes it is an exciting game. Your sarcasm reflects your ignorance.

They are not going to bulldoze the track Bristol is wanting to make a deal with them an spend 57 million on the track the soccer is not a done deal yet tied up in court at one time when Bob Harmon ran the track it was the number 1 track in the US for a crowd on Saturday night.

That's where the problem lies. Speedway Motorsports wants the city taxpayer to fork out the $57million like they do for football stadiums. That's why the offer was rejected. If SMI wants to drop their own coin, it will happen soon.

If Sargent can't get it to work Idk who can. he runs a very efficient schedule nightly. There's been races he ran his was done by 830p and the drivers left and hit up another track close by to start tail of a b main.

Everyone complains about tracks running late. I don't get it. Fairbury pushed a show thru and I was home around 9pm. I felt ripped off. Personally I would rather sit in the stands watching pack trucks than sit at home bitching about SNL being not funny.

From my understanding with the fairgrounds, most of the city board members do want the track to be gone, and there are a few that are fighting to keep it there and revamp it. The argument I hear a lot is it's an eye sore and that space could be better used for the soccer stadium, either for the stadium itself or for parking for it.

If they build the soccer stadium it will be behind the race track they built new buildings for the flea market they are suppose to tear down all the old buildings months ago that is we're the soccer field goes but they haven't done anything because it is tied up in court.
