The top 5 is anybodys guess!!
And if you think that the sprint schedule is big this year, just wait until you see the 2010 Schedule, Sprint car fans are going to go CRAZY!! and Sprint Car Drivers are going to make some BIG $$$$$$$!!![/QUOTE]


You can't make that kind of post and not give some bigger hints.

Is is a Couple of BIG paying USAC races? MSCS? A 10,000 grand or bigger? to win SPrintweek show like they deserve?

A higher weekly purse thru the pack??????

What gives????? LOL

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Well, I can't spill the beans yet.........i am so excited about this years upcoming races, that next year i don't know what i'll do, next years EVENTS are going to dwarf this years events, which reminds me in one month its the USAC National Sprints "Dick Gaines Classic" $10,000 to win Lawrenceburg Chevrolet Sprints,Budweiser UMP Mods, AMSA
August 22, 2009

I am not sure whos coming this weekend, but i'll tell you this, they all better come and practice up for the BIG ONES Coming in the next few months.

I have been working really hard to have big money shows, and hope we have the support of teams and fans to make it a great race. I have also made Lawrenceburg Speedway the highest paying weekly show purse in Indiana and beyond. Without the great support we could not continue to do this. So thanks to all the fans and teams for all of your support.
Hope to see you all Sat. Night!!Dave Rudisell

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

August 22nd....I might have to come to that race. Maybe get some pointers from the burg photographer that came to THAT last week.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Now thats a promoter,
Thanks Dave
We all need alot more like Dave.
Could you move to AZ. ?

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Please us Dave don't tease us!!Lol:3:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I think you are on the right track we just cannot run for 30, 40 or 100.00 dollars any more. Good luck and you will win the cars and fans!

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Speaking of Bozo, does anyone have pictures of Bruno the clown that used to travel around to the local tracks. Back on subject tell us more Dave.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!

If Dave can find a way to make this happen I will attend every weekend on the calendar (even when they aren't racing:5:)

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Id love to see it, Theres no reason Wangs have to pay more. A good car count and a well kept facility the fans should come. I've seen some regular shows with a nice house of people and some big shows with killer crowds and some not as big as you'd expect.

Chuck, Thanking Bozo for the teasers :)

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I agree, they shouldn't pay more but they do consistently.:7: I too have seen crowds of all shapes and sizes at the Burg, the Midget week crowd was smaller than I had anticipated, great features though:2:.

I must say though I went to Eldora for the Knight Before The King's Royal and the crowd was great as was the racing. As much guff as Eldora and WoO receive on this board I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved every minute of it, not to mention that there was zero down-time :8: they went non-stop through the night with both divisions.:6::6:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I think Dave will switch it to wings every week. Just joking! this is some very intriging statments from the best promoter in the tri state area. I cant wait to see whats on tap next year and alot of great racing left this year. I think the best of Lawrenceburg in 2009 is coming up in the next couple months. Get out and support the burg!

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I believe Dave is on the right track, be careful not to have so many classes of cars that hte evening turns into morning before you finish.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

SEE!!!!! SEE!!!!! This is what I'm talking about!!!! Here is a "REAL" promoter!!!! He isn't *****'n about the ecomomy or how times are tough and for the first time here is a promoter that isn't *****'n about what other "track operators" are doing!!!! He is taking his own business by the reins and making changes to better his operation!!!! KUDOS TO YOU SIR!!!! I hope nothing but the best for you this year and for all the years to come!!!! This made my day!!! :6::8::9:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Hey John, one would presume that the promoter you mentioned in this link,http://www.4m.net/showthread.php?t=123055 is not one of your favorites?

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

wow i read that holy chit this is gonna get good:34;

is this our john gurley

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Yeah you could say that....but the feeling is mutual...him and D.A came from the same mold...It was a bad week last week for me and I should have kept my mouth shut but I couldn't...


But this post shows what a real promoter is willing to do and I applaud him for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Don't think you are losing much at Flora John, I know I don't miss going there.JMO

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Thanks for that...I appriciate it..I worked hard to save the race but I was just lead on from the get-go..But hey this thread is about the "BIG NEWS" from "THE BURG" and I for one can't wait to hear and/or see whats happening next!!!!:8::9::18:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

after reading for a while over on 4m.net it might be safe to assume it might have something to do with latemodels being adding to the weekly program. :11: I for one would rather see a much larger payout in all classes that currently support the track and have a really good points fund to encourage more drivers to run. and not just a larger payout out on the top, but all they way though the field. I run demolitions derbies all the time and the promoters who pay more deep in the field are the ones with better shows and a better car count. Lets face it alot of guys know whether they are capable of finishing in the top 5 week in and week out. If you are not one of those guys you are racing and putting on a show for what $100 most nights. I say spread the money out though the field more and you will have a much better show. I know it works that way in derbies why should racing be any different.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

No its not about the Late Models. We have plenty of Great Late Models shows already and one of them is a $50,000 to win show(DTWC) This news is for the sprints!!
Stay tuned!! Dave

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

...and the suspense builds. I'm already pumped for the 3 upcoming 10K :18: shows, how does it get any better:11:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

With all due respect to Tom Helfrich, I voted for Dave Rudisell in last year's National Sprint Car Hall of Fame "Promoter of the Year" category, and I will likely be throwing his name in there again this year. Kudos to you, Dave! You do an excellent job, not only with bringing money to the racers, but with bringing attention to the races you run. Also, you, along with guys like Mr. Helfrich, go above and beyond to make sure your fans have an enjoyable experience - I always see you on the go, and I constantly hear stories of you helping people at the track, especially from the campers who are some of your most loyal fans....

OK, enough of me patting the guy on the back. Get to work, Dave...

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I said a couple weeks ago, Dave "SHOULD" get promoter of The Year, and that was only 1/4 of the way through the year. Not only does he take care of the drivers with a nice weekly purse. He has at least two $10,000 to win shows, Sprintweek, Outlaws Sprints and Late Model's, All Stars Sprints and Late Model's, USAC, MSCS and the Dirt Track World Championship.

For the fans so far he's had, Military Night, I think Senior's Night, Budweiser Night, Bikini Contest and probably a Harf, Darf or Barf night thrown in there somewhere:6:. Takes care of Bob and Monica:6:....As far as I'm concerned you can give Dave Rudisell PoTY right now....Keep up the good work Dave..:6:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

How about a Knoxville Nationals style race for non-wing cars? Definitely have the facility, seating, and general room for it. More stands could be put up on the back stretch. I know it's easy to say all that, but it would be great. I know raising the purse wouldn't be easy...

Running the SC cars there would be another thing I'd like to see. There's enough room to have a good field of cars.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Theres a five grand to win show too, at the Dirt Track World Series Price is right if you can watch a lot of LM's and Mods to go with it and NOT EXPECT A EARLY EXIT!

I might just show up for sprint night, My vac. time will be gone by then as I've reserved them for a tea party/Burg race and the USAC/MSCS back to back shows.

Chuck

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Not really sure about the knoxville nats style, what is the format and the purse?
Thanks, and thanks to all of you for the kind words, Dave

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

The man goes out of his way and spends money to make money, He offered a package to my company that couldn't be refused and Im sure he lost money on the deal but thats trying. I think I and a couple others took him up on it but threat of bad weather and short notice kinda kept that down.

I've heard some LBurg/Aurora radio promotions and other flyers and what not. Some cross promotion with the Beach Waterpark. Im sure theres more.

He'll find what works and what doesn't. I give him a A+ for trying even when it doesn't

I think the biggest promotion is starting ON TIME (Something they've been pretty good at) and having your Headliner done at a reasonable hour. (Before 11) Something they've also been pretty good at but not all things go as planned.

Chuck, who's seen good and not so good racing but have never been dissapointed in a feature, Never been dusted at the Burg in the Main Grandstand and enjoy being able to bring some drinks so I can afford the goodies at the concessions :)

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Format: Three prelim days that lead up to the final fourth day. Each prelim day is a total and complete show. Any time you are on the track, you are earning points. All earned points set the lineups for Saturday. So if you get the poll, you earned it by pointing more than anybody else.

I looked up the purse. Total 4 day purse is $912,805. :18: The winner gets $150,000. Like I said before, that would OBVIOUSLY be the hardest part to put together. It wouldn’t have to be THAT large of a purse. There aren’t very many facilities that can handle an event like that. Lawrenceburg is one of them because of seating and general room. That’s all I was saying. A multi-day event leading up to the main event would be great. Doesn’t have to be quite on the same level, days or purse wise. When the topic was brought up about bigger events, I brought it up. I’ve always thought the non-wing guys deserve an event like this too. You’re doing a great job with getting bigger events so not complaining, just wishing.:)

Come on Dave, if anybody can raise a million it’s you. :)

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

To me the $50,000 DTWC with $5000 to win sprints and $3000 to win mods could rival the 4 crown for me.:8:

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

Lets be honest, Theres only a handful of Dirt tracks that have the capability, draw and financial backing to put up a million dollar purse. Two of them are Eldora and Knox and both have at least three times the seating as LBurg.

That being said, NO reason it couldn't be done on a much smaller scale. Id do it the week before sprintweek and have people living at the track and in the area for a week and a half. Keep the Cheddar melts and coffee going in the concession 24-7 and of course the budwiser concession stand 30g to win, 500 to start. Prelim features would be 5g 300 and mystery night would be 7-8g 500 to start

I don't know how there doing it but if a 3g win 300 to start is possible like fremont, KC and a few others for 12 dollar front gate???? I certainly don't want Dave to loose on the deal but I'd like all (PRomotor, Racers, Fans) to win on it. The racers still wont win but it will be less of a loss and more worth traveling too.

Chuck

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I haven't been to the new 'Burg yet, but could you add temporary stands anywhere for a big show? Like the ones that used to travel between Nazareth Speedway and a few other places, or like are used on street circuits?

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

lol I don't think you will ever need more seats unless you run a Nascar race there. If you did ever fill all the seats you would run into 35 other problems like traffic, parking, restrooms and where Dave would go to retire with all the money.

Re: Ok bozo!!!!!!!
 

I like your suggestion and if the promoter maybe followed the lead of past Oval Nationals @ Perris or this year's revival of the Pacific Coast Nationals @ Tulare sometime during the summer months next year, I am sure, IMO it would be a hit. Both of course are out here on the left coast, but usually bring out the sprint car fans. USAC of course and not the high priced wingers of WoO. Never been to Lawrenceburg, but it will be my first stop in Indiana. :8:
