Scott, At no time was my posting every meant to be critical. Dad just passed and the track was probably all they could do to keep on keeping on. The tribute will last longer than the racing memories of the night for me no doubt.
Discussion and views (from the most extreme bashing to the greatest of compliments are what happen on message boards, Expecially when you can't see the people you talk about every day.
Dave mentioned the change in schedule. I fully understand that. Fully meant if they need help in anyway. Id of left dad sitting there if I could have helped made things any better. We All got to see what ended up as a good show.
For purses? I have no clue what the intake/outgoing is. Its already been mentioned about four to six tracks running saturdays and Burg is on the outskirts of say (Gassoline Alley)
I don't know what else I can do for 15 bucks thats much funner, So what, Florence is 12, There ain't no sprint cars.
Someone mentioned a 3000/300 weekley show and Burg could own saturday night. I don't know I do think teams would like to break even on Travel, Pits fuel if they made the show. Thats different depending on how far their traveling.
The Fremont purse thing? I don't know if its possible, It may be. Would that change things? Make them better? Make them worse? We certainly aren't the ones taking the risk here. Dave and Perfect are and I know they have been working tirelessly both on the track and off to do the best they can.
One thing I will mention, How many cars are running for championships at other tracks? What do they pay for championships, second in points ect. I know VCS gives a chassis. How about a LBurg Club? For 20 dollars you get 1 pit pass (over normal entry fee) for any normal show, Half price at say Harf Darf, BARC and Burg club shows and one hotdog, soda and popcorn at any show. Would be a ticket with punchouts. All this $$ would be put in the point funds. It would also encourage attendance at other shows durring the year
The 50/50 is great but unreliable (Better this year with some bigger shows and Section A) But didn't a portion of the Gate used to go towards this or sponsors? I don't know. It may still be that way.
Just thoughts, No demands, No expectations. I'll be there Sat!
