Maybe schedule 2 races and give yourself a chance to get at least 1 of them in. I know its asking a lot for Gas City to schedule something other than non-wing sprint cars, but some nights it would be a good idea. Like the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. They had 21 cars. Why? Because so many drivers were racing at either Anderson or the Indy mile. To me that would be a great night to schedule a late model race or winged sprint race. After sprintweek the car count always drops to around 20 and the crowd goes down also. Instead of running a regular program and getting a poor turnout, do something different and bring some new people to the track. Jiggs used to be great at that, but in recent years its been forgotten.

I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears as it usually does. But that's why I live 1 mile from the track and almost never go.
You're kidding right? I know people who have moved from areas where they race other things who have moved to this area to see what you complain about. You say you almost never go to Gas City, do you go to Ohio to watch wings and late models? I have been to a lot of tracks in the US, and believe me you could do worse for a home track.
