        Presale, Yea I don't think so. Trust me, nope, that's not going to happen. Having some equipment pushing existing dirt around is not going to impress to many. All this cash XR keeps throwing out there, I really haven't seen a race that produced a significant return. North Wilksboro revival would never have happened if someone by the name of Earnhardt Jr didn't get involved.

          ^^^
          And all the government Covid $$ given to revitalize Wilksboro.
          Kinda crazy that Marcus Smith ( Briton’s son) owns it with all his other holdings- probably a billionaire but the government pays to revitalize it.

              I’ve been telling people for ages now that this won’t happen. I just hope that everyone who worked on the track gets paid. It’s not a secret that Marcus Smith had to clean up his mess at North Wilkesboro.

              Barry recently cut a $80k to win race down to $20k to win at all All-Tech. He’s pre-selling tickets for a track that doesn’t exist. That should tell you everything.

                Thank you for taking the time to think about it. LOL!

                  If (big IF) this place ever reopens it's going to take 2 races for everyone looking to relive the "Magic of Pennsboro" to realize they can't drink like they did the last time they were there, they can't climb up a hillside anymore with their aching joints, and lighting port a potties on fire or ripping off the doors and riding them down the hillside isn't nearly as fun at 60 years old as it was in 1988 when they were 25. Just like WVMS, those rose colored glasses from the 80s are going to fall off real quick.

                      Does mean that there will be no more of the wet T shirt contests and blown up garbage bags filled with oxygen and acetylene ? ?

                        If there's a wet t-shirt contest the t shirts better be extra long cause those boobies you remember from 1988 are bouncing off kneecaps now lol. In case you haven't noticed there's not a lot of 18-30 year olds at the races doing dumb stuff like we all used to (and some still currently) do.

                            There's always that chance that the racing might be good....

                            Or that the grasshoppers will have new grass to live on.

                              I've seen plenty of snoozers in my life. If I lived within a couple hours of Pennsboro, even if I thought it could be a lousy race, I'd be there for the inaugural one.
