If they are gonna do this is should have been IN ADDITION to Gas City not INSTEAD OF. Gappens has stuck his neck out to promote a track that likely would have been dark otherwise. Looks like it could be bad weather for his midget week date and they steal his sprint week date out from under him. Makes you wonder how he is gonna make it worthwhile to keep it open.
Not to start a war, But Gappens never had a Sprint Week date. And I said earlier I think it has a little to do with long time promotors if a track can get one or not. I know they work together, not running NW sprints against other SW dates and Kokomo and Burg even swapped nights
60-70 sprints? Considering they're not pulling 25?

Oh and I agree to the promoting and show casing our home state type of racing, I only wish that with it comes higher payouts throughout the purse and some other tracks that can do it, do it. Might keep some of these guys from leaving the first opportunity they get to All Stars, or WoO.
