Montpelier sprints?

kingmod5 · 6/11/09, 10:10 AM

Just wanted to post a question on here. If montpelier was to run sprint cars would anyone support them? Seems like the new promoter is really taken care of the track and alot from Gas City is helping. Just thought I would put this out here. There really is anywhere in Northern Indiana to race on Saturday night. What are your thoughts?

Have you been in contact with the promoter? If they were to race there on a regular basis what would be a good payout? $1200, $1400, $1000? This track has a lot of potential.

It would be great to possibly have an MTS and SCORA deal there.Just a thought...John Gurley

Does the promoter at Montpelier want to run sprints at the track?

He has worked very hard to improve things. The track has been in better shape.
But last week only 24 cars total in three classes. Still payed promised purse,
but how long can anyone keep doing that..

Don't know if he has considered sprints. Just wanted to put something on here to see if there was any support to bring them back. Don't know if he has even tried for any special shows.

we ran mini sprints there last year... was alot of fun the 2nd time. Track was VERY rough, but put on a good show.. 2-3 groove race track.

until the town gets behind the race track, it will never succeed. I don't care if you race Nascar, someone has to figure out how to get the locals to support the track
