Re: Sprints $2500 to win, $400 to start.........$8 admission...WHAT??
 

This sounds like a great event but I do have a bone to pick. Why do the people who put the show on for the fans have to pay $30 to get in? How about picking another night and making pit passes $15 as a racer appreciation. Just a thought.

I know this is an open wheel forum, but didnt this race have Late Models on the schedule origionally? I used to work for Mel and I was really looking forward to this race. What's up?:11:

Re: Sprints $2500 to win, $400 to start.........$8 admission...WHAT??
 

Thanks everone, Tim Johnson and the entire Johnson family get credit also. Tim is helping me out alot for this race, he really wants to pack the place and pay out the racers well, the way Mel would have wanted it.
Mel Johnson taught me everything i know about promoting a speedway, and much more. I was blessed to meet such a great person, and i am still blessed to have the Johnson family working at the track each and every day.
I am very excited about this event and hope its a huge success.
Sincerely, Dave Rudisell
