this is a great idea. I know that many of the college interns take these jobs at no pay. They will work for free just to get the experience on the resume, or maybe you could get them to do it as an independent study course. The best thing about this idea is that these kids will not be burdened with "that can't be done here" mentality. It will take a lot of work by the owner to keep them going the right way, but the energy level would be great.

I also am a fan of minor league sports (mostly hockey) There are a ton of things to be learned about promotions by minor leauge sports. However, there is a lot of things that a promoter could do to help his show at no cost. My biggest pet peeves are: Start the races on time. If the ticket says 7:00, then the first heat should be hitting the track at 7:00. Limit the car classes. I don't need to see four class of cars that all look the same. Have a set intermission or no intermission at all. The best intermission I ever saw was at a track that had a timer on the lap board. When the last heat was over, a ten minute count down started on the clock. When the clock hit 0:00 the main events were on the track.
