Gas City KISS Highlights...
 

I saw Jackslash posted that per Gas City's request, the highlights from the race last night won't be available until Wednesday.

It doesn't make ANY sense to me either... but apparently that's what they want.

I wonder if an Indianapolis TV station came to the track... would they ask them NOT to show highlights until Wednesday.

It's actually kind of comical.

They think the video is affecting attendance..

The fact that school is still going (High school sports) cold and rain all around and the shortage of the dollar had more to do with it than showing a video a day later. J.M.O. It is there race track and they can do what they want. I am not ********, I would never run a race track let alone do it as well as the people in Indiana do.

I know that the day after video has brought people to Kokomo that have never step foot on the grounds and have lived in Kokomo all there lives.

A huge thank you goes out to the track for moving things along, everyone we have talked to had a good time and were on the road at a decent hour. For us the track was good, the food was hot and the staff went out of there way to make it a great night, all smiles.

if you went to the track you wouldn't have to wait to wednesday.

Re: Gas City KISS Highlights...
 

I think most of it is the crappy weather we have been having this spring..schools are still in session maybe once they dwindle down attendance will pick back up..the racing the last 2 times they have ran has been really good especially in the feature..

Unfortunately for someone like me, living in Connecticut doesn't allow me that luxury.

FRI NIGHT TRACK, www.molerracewaypark.com

I seen a clip of one hotlap session and the guy was sitting half up the stands and nobody was below him. Higher Purse with less numbers.............................

As for the Wed's I say thats a little harse but I could see any track wanting to wait for it to air till mondays..
Still Wed's is better than not at all. Thanks Jiggs!

350 miles round trip I,LL be back

It seems like a lot of the casual fans that used to go to Gas City on a weekly basis don't attend as much as they used to. I didn't think Jiggs was promoting anymore. I thought Tom Brenner was the promotor.

We love Gas City . Came over from Fremont,Ohio every week for ten years. What changed? Daylight savings time,that's the one and only thing. With work we just can't make it. We still make the big shows,but we plan ahead to get off early. If I could every week, I still would. No fault of the track at all.

I also travel 325 mi. round trip to enjoy the close racing at Gas City/I-69 Speedway. As far as the racing, it seems like the winners from USAC and KISS both came from 3 to 4 rows back and used the high line to RACE past those on the huggy pole. That is why I choose Indiana for my sprint car fix! As for the disappointing fan support, I surmise all of these posts are accurate to some extent but paying $25 per ticket to see cars and drivers you can watch next week somewhere in Indiana for $12 is also a contributing factor. Sean's videos only make me want to return to Gas City and Kokomo more often. Also, I am making plans to visit both Bloomington and Lincoln Park for the first time in a decade. As the saying goes" take a friend to the races" and we can contribute to the growth of NW sprint car racing. It is really the purest and most magnificent American racing one can witness!

Can tell you that Mr. Monohan travels great distances to come out here when he can. He has probably been to more races than many here combined.

Maybe so, but Brady Short didn't race the huggy pole. As my grandson would say, he raced on the high saide.

I completely agree. I think that is a huge factor related to what I mentioned earlier with some of the people who used to support the track on a weekly basis. In years past, when you paid more to go, it was because the race was a real special or a class that you could not normally see at Gas City. Now, they run the same show every week - sprints, mods, and stocks. And it is normally the same group of teams with a few occasional surprises. Why pay the extra money when you can come back next week and see the same show for half the price?
