Motormasher,

We realize you won't be at Kokomo racing, so tell us which one are you going to attend, Putnamville or Danville?:17:

Re: Kokomo Speedway SATURDAY Aug. 8, 2009

What time are hot laps this Sat. night. We have not decided where we are going and need to know what time we have to leave by. If it is an early show we probably couldn't make it with our work situation. Thanks

Re: Kokomo Speedway SATURDAY Aug. 8, 2009

Not sure if it's true or not, but I heard that Kokomo was running on Saturday night due to the fact that Knoxville is racing on Sunday.

And I don't just mean at Kokomo. It seems to me that racing on Saturday night, the regular night of both Kamp and Montpelier, and offering half price is basically just taking fans from those tracks and possibly others such as Danville and Putnamville. Neither Kamp or Montpelier can afford to have that happen right now. I'm sure a few guys racing for points at Kokomo and one of those other tracks don't appreciate it.

Fan appreciation night, if promoted correctly should attract new local fans who feel that a ticket for under $10 is worth checking out the action. Tracks shouldn't have to compete for fans at local shows, regular fans know where they enjoy watching the racing and a half price ticket isn't going to have a lot of influence on their decision of which track to attend. Some people follow the drivers and are lured by car counts, some fans enjoy seeing the same people(fans and drivers) every weekend at a track that is close to home. So what I am trying to say is car counts attract hard core fans that follow the racing all week long and promotions are intended to attract new or casual fans. Plus a Saturday night show is easier to handle than a sunday night show for those who still have a job on monday. Kokomo provides great racing and that is why it is able to survive the sunday night shows, by having it on a Sat. with reduced ticket costs it will show those who normally wouldn't go on a sunday just what they are missing. JMO

I just want to personally Thank kokomo speedway for what they are doing for the fans and kids I think it's great....its a free world people will go where they want....but once again KOKOMO THANK YOU!!!!!!

Kevin,

I haven't heard anything to make me believe that hot laps will be any other time than normal, which is always right around 5:45 p.m. If anything, it will be later because it's a Saturday. Pit gate opens at 3:30.

schedule is as usual....

Danville canceled it's show for the weekend and Paragon's off I'd bet they'll be close to 30 cars at Kokomo :22:
