I saw Friday was cancelled before getting on here. I thought, wonder how many pages the thread is for that? Three pages is less than I thought.
Some people would go (heat wouldn’t keep me away if I wanted to go as it doesn’t bother me). However, many “regulars” probably wouldn’t. With the threat of a small crowd, I can see why somebody wouldn’t want to take a chance on it. Tracks just had their biggest payday of the year in the last two weeks. I wouldn’t want to potentially give a lot of that back due to running a show with few fans. I get the, show up if you want to or nobody makes you go, but that’s the issue…. many people not showing. I’d say a lot of people would do that. Remember Sprint Week just ended so people’s wallets are a little lighter. I could see some people that go all the time saying, I’ll just sit out this week because of money and the heat. Not everybody goes every week. A lot on here do, but a lot don’t go every week. Those fans make a difference in a case like this.
It’s easy to be a fan. We show up, spend the money, watch the show, and go home. Not that simple for a promoter, a lot rides on decisions. If I go and see a bad show, I’m out some gas money and ticket money (happens and will happen again). Promoter is out thousands if they make the wrong call. No way I would ever want to promote a race track, you are always wrong to somebody.
