I agree with all the racers that to the racer/ fan it seems like this weekend would have been the better weekend to run the make up show. There will be 8-10 cars by my knowledge that will not come back for the make up race do to USAC race.
BUT....
As a promotor think about this... This weekend Dave knows he will have 30-35 cars and the stands will be full. Everyone will be there because it is an MSCS race that pays $2500 to win. The following weekend is a regular local show... In the past Lawrenceburg has struggled to get 20 cars a night... Scheduling the make up show for a regular night not only may bring more cars to his regular program but also give him 2 special events to sell his fans rather then just one...
I am also stuck in a tight spot with this but understand it.. I was committed to racing at Fremont Speedway with B.O.S.S. Its the season opener and in "wing country"... I really wanted to be part of this event and now am forced to make a finical and moral decision...
Just remember Lawrenceburg did try to race and we have to be greatfull for that....They could have pulled a Kokomo and canceled...
