It looks like Jiggs and the Gas City crew has been heavily involved in the operations and working of the track each week.
I think if the new promotor knew he could get to close to a full field of sprints, why wouldn't you try it?
I think I was there about every race in 2003. The racing was decent at best most nights. Nothing to write home about but I did see a lot of potential there. Being fairly close to the track was nice.
If that is true about what changes have or are occuring, I think it could be great having sprints run there. Just so many options on Saturdays, I have to wonder how many cars they could pull. Some of those team/driver combos are no longer around. If they could pull in 18-22 a week would be enough.
They do need better seating too.
