Thanks for the replies. While not responding (still dealing with paying out etc. from our rainout. Rainouts are headaches on a lot of fronts), I have been thinking through comments as I see them.
...
Leading into last nights races at Jacksonville Speedway, knowing that there was a chance we could have the dreaded mid-race downpour - I started thinking about a new way of handling mid-race rainouts...
I hate the implication that the tracks or series somehow are getting fat off of having a Hoosier 'kickback'. Yes, we all know that series that elect to enter a contract with Hoosier are going to...
My guess is that you could pay to license the exclusive use of the name and then have an operating agreement for a certain duration. I think this is kind of what Liberty Media does with the F1 brand...
I'd keep my money in my pocket on that bet ISF. I have it on pretty good authority that you might want to raise your odds from zero to about 90 at the moment. I'll keep hustling for you.
We'll be fine Chief. Been through this a time or two. We'll keep doing what we've been doing and focusing on leaving Illinois 410 wing racing better than we found it a little over a decade ago. ...
FlagBoy - Yes, I thanked DirtVision for playing a significant role in allowing us to make $2,000 to win wing shows a part of our regular program. If you go back over the past decade we had been...
Here's some info for teams/racers... Fans - All you need to know is it a 6:00 start time each week - and midgets will run first to get you home early...
Sometimes you have to step back and assess the importance of what we do and make sure those that are an indispensable part of your "family" have the space to take care of things much more important....
This Friday at Jacksonville we have $2,000 to win Winged Sprints and $1,000 to win Non-Wing sprints ($150 to start). Plus Modifieds, Street Stocks and Micros.
I'll save you a phone call to that hotline number. YES, WE ARE RACING TONIGHT. Teams: We really can't let you in the pits until 3. We got a fair amount of rain last night, but it'll be dried...
As I mentioned on our FB post announcing the MOWA schedule. We are an Illinois-based series. Whatever restrictions you've had in Indiana or neighboring states they are a fraction of the...
This isn't a "get along" thing. POWRi has almost nothing to do with it. Place the blame entirely on my shoulders. Our Herb Barlow Memorial which had the same lineup got rained out in September. ...
Not sure about Mt. Rushmore, but midgets do seems to consistently put on great shows here for some reason - and that micro feature was insane tonight. Thanks to the teams that stuck around in...
For those of you joining us this Friday for our POWRi show, we have a few different procedures than normal that we would ask you to cooperate with if possible.
First - I'm not cancelling my POWRi event or anyone else's by way of this post. We've only been cancelling things after an order covers the period in question. Until...
I'm going to stay out of the right/wrong ******** part and going to try to just speak for our situation at Jacksonville. Know that many of the Illinois track promoters communicate regularly and...
Sounds like pretty easy money Mr. Barnum. There are a dozen or so closed tracks in Illinois right now. Hundreds in the Midwest. Find one, put your skin in it and execute.
Jeff - If you buy them out of HTMW in Springfield instead of Brownsburg, half of Friday's field will probably be in the Springfield store at some point this week and you'd have more options for...
That plan of 10:15 sure didn't work out. Poorly planned and poorly executed. Sorry to those of you getting home so late. Had way more cars than we expected. Was trying to fit classes in that were...
