When I first visited the Speedrome for Bob Lowe Night after his death in 1990, I was required to purchase a Speedrome membership and a pit pass -- as a reporter for a daily newspaper coverning the races from Bob's hometown paper. That was under different ownership.

That system was not used when Joe Mershon leased the track for NAMARS. When the Cohens took over the midget program about four years ago, they implemented the membership with its racing program that they charged for their other divisions.

It is my understanding that Don Kenyon and the Cohens were within a few thousand dollars of reaching an agreement. Kenyon had a certain amount of money through sponsorships but that was short of the amount the Cohens felt was needed to show a profit on the midget program, or at least break even. A compromise could not be reached so Don took the show on the road.
