For the amount of money the sprints brought in versus the purse, I don't see Thursday night deal lasting much longer. Sportsman count is what saved the night from being one giant heat race. Even that didn't help the night much.
What kept sprint guys from going? For 1400 to win they got 12 cars. For 400 to win the sportsmans got 21 cars. And there are a lot more sprints around than sportsman cars. Id say with the purse verse car count, he would be better off financially if he didn't run the sprints. I know that isn't what anyone wants to hear, but he is losing a lot of money when 120 fans and 12 sprints show up. Something is going to have to change if he wants to keep the Thursday deal going.
With all that said, I don't blame joe for the track conditions tonight. He was trying to give all the people, (mainly on here) that constantly complain about slick tracks, the tacky track they wanted. And had 25 or 30 sprints showed up, like he prolly thought would (given all the hype about the Thursday deal) it would've been an awesome track.
Anyways, thanks LPS for the opportunity to race on a Thursday night. It wasn't necessarily the night anyone hoped for, but it was still racing and that beats a night working or sitting at home.
