Add in a special event tracks like Tri State, Eldora and Terre Haute that also have non-wing sprint shows on Saturday nights and the pool is divided even more. In my opinion adding Plymouth will only delute both car counts and fans. I hope that I am wrong.
I can see your point there, Mud, and it is a pretty good one. And from 30,000 feet above, I agree. I am just voicing as a fan from the northern end of the state as a ground dweller. Call me selfish, but yeah.... I'm in it for ME.
Now if Plymouth wanted to run sprints weekly, which they are not in a position to do right now, I'd say go to Fridays and run winged sprints. No one else around does that. But now we are trying to sell wings to Hoosiers, which at times, can have it's trying moments.
I'm just glad I have another option. The winged shows will be fine. It will be the non-wing shows that will be a tough sell. I don't wish Plymouth Speedway ANY bad luck. I just hope they can make it pay off on a weekly basis with whatever classes they decide to run (in between sprints shows and rain outs).
