So apparently THAT has a promoter for 2024, since they have a race scheduled there.

Looks like it’s Spiker.

Looks like some miss information. This was on the Terre Haute Facebook page.

Here is a screen shot if it below.

Strike one.

My big concern is that I hope it’s on Flo, because of the IRA co-sanction, and the fact IRA is already a Flo participant

Here you all go. Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

No wonder it is tough for a promoter to make it at Terre Haute. Most schedules are already finalized. No one in place to put together a schedule. Makes it hard to get good dates.

This year was definitely a weird year at that, to be honest I didn’t know if bill rose was running the show or if he was just the named person and the fair board was. It seemed more that it was the fair board. Then today’s post made it more what the heck.

Overall I want the track to succeed and not play who is the new promoter every year or so. I think the only way is to get the fair board out of there by selling that portion of the property to one promoter. The drag way lately seems to be change promoters every 2-3 years. The downside to selling the property would be if it failed, it could be sold for development and that would be worse.

These type of Facebook posts don’t help with the overall confidence of the track.

Strike two.

Who is promoting Maverick?

The guy who owns honest Abe roofing in terre haute, Kevin newton owns it.

This is an awesome long weekend of winged racing in Indiana. With the solid payouts and co-sanctioned with IRA should be a stout field of cars. Already got it on my schedule!

Well apparently they're announcing a track before the track is ready to announce anything. Not once, but twice.

Travesty……..That’s never been done before…….Unbelievable……

Take a smoke break and chill out Debbie Downer :13:

The Facebook page that was the action track no longer exists. Fair board looks like they made a new one. A continuation of *** is going on there.

He’s just gloating over anything with wings having a hiccup

Well apparently you didn’t read the release shared on here. It specifically states they have entered into an agreement for this race to be held on the date specified. It’s a release from the Wabash Valley Fair Association.

Read more speak less is sometimes good advice to go by…

Just got through reading an article about this new series on The Slider written by Pat Sullivan. I don't know anyone in our sport who is more respected than him, so when he speaks I listen. Bottom line for all us fans, traditional or winged, everything is going to be alright.

Nothing against this race or the people involved. This at least, yearly drama with the fair people, cannot be good for the long term success of the track. Look how many promoters they have been through in the last 30 years.

No, whoever had control of the FB page at that time was not in the loop about scheduling for next year and was salty about it.

Shows how the off-season works at THAT place. Doesn't say a thing about the series. They have a contract with the fairboard to have a race there whomever promotes it.

Yeah, I got mixed up and hard to see how people wouldn't.
Release a schedule.
Get a Message that "We got no agreement" News to us.
Then Fair board, We have a agreement, But no promoter..


I said nothing about the series. And the only thing I've ever said about the series is I think your further diluting a shrinking car base of your core attraction.

Have a nice day.

I remember my dad called that getting the cart before the horse

No pun intended but it will be interesting to see what the series inaugural 2024 schedule looks like if they are causing this much chaos already and it's not even 2024 yet.

I honestly don't think it's a bad thing, Tracks schdules have gotten pretty predictable and in some cases STALE. I mean we really need four tracks on saturday night running Non Wing? How about three and a wing? Two and one running LM's and one running Wing?

Bloomington to me is a better Winged track than NW, More will rip the lip with it than without. Although I've seen great racing in both. Just too often to slick off and go all bottom. Been better the last six years or so but at one point was all huggy pole.

Re: Maverick Mayhem Week June 20th to June 23rd
 

I'm not sure using the word "Mayhem" is a good thing.

The definition of the word Mayhem:

'needless or willful damage or violence.'

"uncountable noun. You use mayhem to refer to a situation that is not controlled or ordered, when people are behaving in a disorganized, confused, and often violent way."

The second definition sounds like a NA$CAR race. :D

Oh my God mommy make it stop

No the downside to selling the track is no race promoter has enough money to beat the developers!!! Its hard for a full time racer to double as a promoter. I just wonder if Rose even put a bid in for this season?
