Lawrenceburg has spent MILLIONS on their track. The promoters could not be more committed to dirt track racing as they were last year when they offered three 10k to win sprint car shows and FIVE sanctioned national USAC shows. (Midget week, Sprint week, Dick Gaines Memorial, and a show in April and September.) Unfortunately the FANS DID NOT SUPPORT some of these shows well at all. Fans continue to flock to Eldora who plays on reputation and refuse to come to The Burg when they have been busting their ass to become the finest dirt track in the Midwest. The City of Lawrenceburg has been a great owner and promoter Dave Rudisell has busted his ass and stuck his financial neck on the line and received mediocre fan support. Something to think about?
