I’m not the promoter, and it’s not my money on the line, but I wonder if the current status would lead to a special events type of schedule. Similar to Kokomo and Tri-State. “Pick your spots” type of schedule that may be safer bets with car count and crowds. Something like this, which eliminates most of the weekly races.

April - USAC Sprints
Early May - BOSS Sprints (maybe move the June date here)
Late May (Memorial Day) - World of Outlaws Sprints
Mid-June - USAC Midgetweek
Early July - Merrill Downey Memorial
Late July - USAC Sprintweek
Early August - Night of Destruction
Late August - Dick Gaines Memorial
September - BOSS/FAST Sprints (add a race here)
October - USAC Sprints

I’ve been to Lawrenceburg several times and never had a bad experience. There was one night when the track was pretty choppy, but it had rained earlier in the day and I was glad they made the effort to race. If a schedule like this happened, I’d love to see the return of the Lucas Oil Late Models or an addition of the World of Outlaws Late Models, but again, it’s not my money on the line. I was at Florence last night and the crowd was fantastic. I attended a race last summer at Moler that was very well supported also, but both were special events and not weekly shows. Hopefully the Outlaws race on Memorial Day will help the finances and keep the gates open.
