Was just at Tri-State Sat. for the MSCS race and admission was $20, why the $3 difference at The Burg ($23)?? Not that I really care I will be there anyway, but was just wondering. Seems the price would be the same for the same sanctioned cars. However that $3 could buy an extra cheeseburger!!! Bob Bressert :thumb

I paid $23 for my reserved seats @ Haubstadt. Those seats are similar to all the seats @ The Burg. When the year is over, I'll look back at both and consider each money well spent.

We have had some big shows this year with big losses, and we have had some shows with little gain. If i was a driver/owner of a sprint car i would be offended that people are complaining about $23. The amount of money and time these teams put into thier cars, and then they go out there and put thier life at risk. and you are saying that $23 is not worth it. Believe me, I am not getting rich off of anyone. If anything i am going broke. Maybe just maybe we will have a good crowd this weekend and make a dime. But as a promotor you have always got everything working against you.
How many people on this board get a paycheck every week? Try being a promotor and maybe you will get paid this week maybe you won't, you may go 2 months without a paycheck, or you might just have all the stars align and make enough money to get you through a couple weeks. Cecil98 made so much money promoting Lawrenceburg he only did it a few years and retired to his multi-million dollar island home in Florida:rolling. Mel Johnson had the track for umpteen years and now he is retired to being a track prep crew for me. Ask Jiggs how many millions he is retiring on........I would bet the farm its not much.
Bottomline we promotors do this week in and week out for the love of racing, Just like when i raced, I won about everything and still lost thousands of $$$. I raced because i love to race, and now i promote because i love to entertain people.
Some people just take the love out of me from time to time because all of their bitchin. Luckily, the complaments outweigh the complaints.
Thanks for letting me vent.
And to all the great fans, drivers and crews who support the Lawrenceburg Speedway, I SAY THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely, Dave Rudisell
