Just like John, Vicki & i hardly ever missed a race, 15 minutes from home & racey as he11! the only folks who hated the place were the car owners and the crack dealers, the owners for all the repairs they had to do afterwards and the dealers for not being able to hear the prices offered. Mis-management was the problem 100%, with the promotions guy spending his whole week just driving around in the convertible pace car and not hitting the radio & tv stations. I do remember Tony G.'s last words about the speedway, he said "with our huge p.r. dept. right down the street (at IMS) we could have done alot more to promote the track." To little, too late! We were only one lottery drawing away from saving the joint, cause if i would have hit a big powerball drawing, we would have still been racing there, bob.
p.s. NEVER had 1 problem in the parking lot, maybe cause they had good lighting and would leave them on awhile after the racing...unlike speedrome!
