Charles, not sure how East Bay got brought into Lawrenceburg. I went back and looked up the car counts at East Bay Raceway the last seven years. Your comment of "barely getting" 30 - 40 late models is way off. The path has clearly climbed the last several years, both in car counts and attendance. Here are car counts from random days of the last seven years at East Bay:
2023 - 62
2022 - 70
2021 - 72
2020 - 65
2019 - 53
2018 - 46
2017 - 44
I'd say the track has been doing quite well, especially when those early week late model shows only pay $5,000 to $7,000 to win.
