Discussion of being a promoter reminded me of a podcast... Glen hyneman, guest of episode 23 of "the 4 wide salute podcast," is 4-decade owner of eastern modifieds and also some sprints, but he also promoted susquehanna speedway for 4 years. He compares owning cars versus being a promoter at 1 hr 2 minutes of that episode. (Short version is he is still a car owner.) (Btw I am just a fan of this podcast, no other connection... and have been lucky enough to see the bullring and banked 'Burg plus most of the races at bridgeport once rebuilt w lawrenceburg as a model.)

Fwiw, agree with earlier comment that racing at bridgeport nj, my saturday night home, is great on a track modeled on the current 'Burg,... but of course so many things are different -- even having eastern mods as the headline class.

Not sure if this says anything about the banking ideas, but when ryan godown won 7 straight bport mod A mains last year, he was starting midpack and passing mostly on the inside ..
