People needed to be rallying behind the racers and get the promoter to change his mind. Again I will state the racers are all the track has to offer, I don't know to many people who will go stare at a dirt oval and buy a hotdog with nothing going on the track. I guess they could run the water truck around and charge admission for that. Most dirt track racers don't live a glamorous rock star lifestyle, but instead might be eating bologna sandwiches to make it to the track the next week. These guys need all the help and extra promotion they can get and a non supporting promoter of the cause does not help.

I doubt complaining on a message board will help anything, but it can do a lot of damage. When the Miles family steeped down at Bloomington, she said in Sprint Car and Midget that social media was a huge factor in stepping down. My guess is having enough room to provide fro everyone who wanted it is probably the factor in the decision, but that is just a guess.
