Re: Lincoln Park Speedway - August 24th
Maybe from your perspective as a fan, but not from the perspective of an actual car owner, who knows his budget, and what he can spend to satisfy his craving to race, like someone else said, a win is a win to a lot of us "field fillers" as we sometimes are refered to, and we know that, so why go somewhere we know going in, it is going to be a big loss, that might have bought us 3-4 more races this season or next, sometimes I have a problem with the "mindset" of "non car owners", but just being a simple ass, I guess I wouldn't understand anyway!

Bottom line, like Brent said, I hope everybody has a safe weekend. |
And that's fine.
What I'm saying is, the tracks should want to grow the sport. And those of us who want to see professional sprint car drivers have a chance to make a living should want to grow the sport. And those car owners who complain about pay or sponsors or pretty much anything should want to grow the sport. And any driver who ever aspires to make money racing or even just wants to "be somebody" should want to grow the sport. Bigger events do not mean the end of local shows. A more successful non-wing sprint car racing world would actually open up more racing and more opportunities from top to bottom. Maybe I'm from a different planet, but this seems like a no-brainer for anyone who truly loves sprint car racing. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Lincoln Park Speedway - August 24th
Exactly. My problem is 2 weeks from now when everyone is saying the races should pay more. I see that all the time on here. Racers can decide that by who they choose to support.

Re: Lincoln Park Speedway - August 24th
Brent and qt3: I understand your logic, but sometimes there are other, more subtle, factors involved in a team's decision where to race. Let's say there is racer from near P'ville. All his family, crew, those folks who have supported him with a few bucks all live near by and, for a variety of reasons, can't travel anywhere other than their local track. Why shouldn't they get to watch their buddy race this weekend? Each team knows their own situation and budget better than I do, so who am I to tell them where and when they should race?
Just to be clear, I think the Smackdown is a great event that will have long-term success. I just don't think the rest of the Indiana sprint car world needs to shut down in order to make that happen. |
Re: Lincoln Park Speedway - August 24th
I don't think you do understand. The point is not that guys should not want to race. The point is that by giving everyone the option, the tracks are competing with Smackdown and taking away from it. And I honestly can't imagine that it's a good business decision to run this weekend, either. Even a profit this weekend would have to be marginal. August isn't notoriously good for business, anyway.
