Re: Taking Over The Helm Of GC...
 

Dick Trammel laid out what GC did to me when he still worked the gate. Been told the same by others and at other tracks. That without a lot of sponsorship sales. Weekly shows don't make a dime and may make or lose a little based on attendance.

The Specials if well attended can do well for the till. Not attended well and you can take a bath on em.

Yeah, there's a lot of hard work, investment etc. But who the hell gives the promotor a atta boy for doing it at all? All I see is getting it from about six sides. Fans, Competitors, sponsors, bills, insurance. employees.and probably some things like the CITY or Township I don't even think about. EPA etc.

Charles,his name is/was Dick Trammel?

Terrell

So sorry, was a great guy, would give the shirt of his back.

Wasn't intentional.

I don’t think I ever met a person that knew more about open wheel racing than Dick Terrell. I really miss that guy. But, so do many other people.

Jerry

Dick Terrell,Bill Walls & Paul Westfall,when you saw one the other two were close by,Rest in Peace Gentlemen🏁🏁🏁

And who was the guy who worked IMS Museum a lot. I really hate that Im forgetting these folks names but they were great to be around at the track.

Charles, your not thinking of Dwight Clock are you?
