What the story doesnt tell you is that Thunder Road runs its races on Thursday nights, a work night,and they run a very efficient program.Admission costs have also caught up with them too,I recall it used to be like $3.50 admission when most places were in the $7-8 range.When it was priced like that,they used to get a bunch of single parents looking for a cheap night out with the kids.
Its been awhile since I have been there,but back then they had Dave Moody (Now he does NASCAR on MRN) as the announcer,and he was great with what was happening on the track,making good guys vs bad guys along the way. Its to bad he's not still doing the short track stuff instead of NASCAR,cause he is really good at stirring the crowds emotion.
Sometimes I wonder why promoters dont go to places that get mentioned as people friendly,and have a look to see just WHAT they ARE doing right.
