Being from Anderson, this certainly isn't the type of "exposure" we need.:icon_smile_blackeye It is sad when these types of shows draw more spectators than quality racing like the Little 500, Anderson Midget 400 and USAC sprints and midgets.

As someone else mentioned, the promoter schedules these numerous times during the season which helps pay for the "loser" shows that don't draw enough people. With very little increase in purse, your increased attendance and back gate puts dollars in their pocket. It certainly doesn't paint a very nice picture of racing no matter who you are but if you are trying to stay open, this is what sells right now.

Much of this was done a couple of years ago so the City of Anderson isn't really that bad right now. We have additional businesses and hopefully the economy will turn and help draw more businesses to this community. Unfortunately, we still have these characters roaming the city.:rolleyes:

Also, if you think they drive bad there, just remember we have to "dodge" these idiots daily on the streets.:Steer:O::doh:
