Cecil has a stalker LOL.......Chuck N

Hey, I'm going to keep an open mind about this expansion. Of course I would prefer keeping it the way it is because I don't think it's broken right now and, I've been involved with the place in some capacity since I've been an infant. Change is always tough on some of us (especially old fogies!). Part of it is sentimental with me and part of it is the minor concerns I expressed in my earlier post. Often it works out for the better and I hope that is the case here. Dave (Rudisell) has a very valid point about Bill Cunningham. Agree with him, or not on this issue, Bill is doing what he can to preserve dirt track racing at Lawrenceburg. It's my opinion that the property is worth more as a casino parking lot/strip mall/hotel than it is as a race track right now. So, it needs protection and commitment from the city. Thankfully, Bill is on our side. At the same time, Greg is correct in that Bill has a vision of sometime in the future, Lawrenceburg hosting events comparable to some of the big shows that Eldora promotes (e.g. World 100, Kings Royal etc.). There's nothing wrong with having a vision and thinking big. At least he's thinking racing vs. Wal-Mart, as Dave suggested earlier. Just because it may not be the best thing for our small team doesn't mean these changes won't be better for the over-all health of the track and the sport BUT!! I have a right to express what my concerns are, and I will. Stalker or not!!!LOL

PS....Dave I'm forwarding you the 2008 rules, policies and purses that I've drawn up as well as, a list of people that I approve of you hiring for next season's staff. Man! I love having all of this power!!:emote20:
