Since Seadog and Harry can't seem to give me any indication on how this is going to work I will fill all of you in on why this will not work. I feel bad for not giving Mr. Barhoist more info before he struck his deal. For you that do not know, I am a promoter. No open wheel stuff, but still do fair events. This info comes from 2 different groups that held events at the Speedrome. So here we go, The owner of this track will not do anything to make you event sucessfull. He has no intrest in you suceeding. The first group that did events there, did them on a Sunday. They set up a typical agreement. Basically track has to be left in the same shape and clean. The track raced on Friday an Saturday. When this group got there on Sunday, none of the trash had been cleaned up. After there event they cleaned part of the trash up and left. They were denied there deposit back because they did not clean the entire speedway. They were expected to clean all 3 nights of trash up. This is petty, but think about how much trash that is for 3 nights. O ya they were also charged a disposal fee because the threw the bags in the tracks dumpster. There was no permission given to use it. Now if they do things this petty, how do you think they handle the larger stuff? If the tracked wanted usac there the event would be on friday night like I stated earlier. The track has no intrest in this because they would have to pay usac. The track will not run midgets on friday nights because they do not get enough fans to make profit. This track is dieing under the current managment. Nothing is going to change. They have already ran off over half there drivers and fans. If usac is not going to put some big PR behind this, it is DOOMED! I seen the rumble series stuff in the news paper, in local businesses, and on the radio. Race 1 there was a good field of cars with about 2 or 3 hundred fans. The other races fell off. Not sure what usac is going to do, but they have an uphill battle ahead of them.
The ball is your court Seadog and Harry, tell us how the great usac is going to make this work. How are the "reginal midgets" going to be sucessful?
