Kenny Dobson of Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois responded to this coalition manifesto on another board. In a nutshell Kenny said if he was mandated to just 20% capacity @ $20.00 per ticket for his facility and he had internet PPV available for purchase he'd probably come up a bit short of breaking even. That is considering that beer and food concessions would be impacted. He went on to say that even with the short fall it would be an investment in the future. The longer these facilities stand idle the harder it might be to get profitable again.
I hope Kenny, along with Bob Sargent, is in the mix of promoters within this "coalition". Those two, along with a couple others, are very competent, honest and influential promoters who probably would carry plenty of influence with state and local authorities. It's doubtful that those guys will allow any flaunting of the rules at their facilities which would amount to 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
