[QUOTE=captrat;485485]I am always a bit amused when people think that sprint car racing began with the 3 people mentioned above. Did they make significant contributions? Of course they did, but sprint car racing was already a significant part of auto racing in the US long before them. Does the WoO have great racers, they certainly do, however, the product IMHO more often than not does not live up to the marketing hype. In almost every part of our lives today we are now witnessing marketing and perception be the measure of quality as opposed to substance, sprint car racing is no exception.[/QUOTE).
I never said they started it.... I said they set the standard, raised the bar..in your previous post you mentioned you've been around 50 years.. that's great, that means you'd know Earl started eldora in '54 or about 13 years before you were involved. And yes I know there were sprint cars before 1954.
As far as hype... WTH do you think they or anyone else should use for a slogan or sales pitch? How about "the most mediocre show on dusty cornfields!" Or how about any track that advertises worlds fastest x/x mile! How about " we're not the the fastest joint". How about no one advertises or hypes their product?
Bottom line if you don't like a product you are free not to support it.
