Of Years of going to LBurg. I've never seen a promotor so dedicated to putting on a show.
Not only is he there more often than not and DOING SOMETHING. He experiments and trys stuff both for the fans and the racers, The Gaines classic format??????????? Prizes. Pace truck rides. Give aways. Promotions with buisnesses ect. ect. ect.

This isn't a knock on other promotors but it is one hell of a to Dave and his staff to date!
Thanks!

OK, lets look at this money wise.

Say it takes $1,000,000 to run an operate a race track for a year. Maintainance, equipment,leases,taxes, insurance,security(and they have an over abundance or that at The'Burg),and hourly labor.

Now if you had a $1,000,000 and invested it in a mutual fund that pays 7% (I do have a fund that pays that amount,but I do not have $1,000,000) that means you are making $70,000 per year.

Why would you invest in a race track to make less money? You can say I love the sport, but you did not make a $1,000,000 by going with your heart. You made it with your head.

There are a ton of revenue out that that does not include tickets or the back gate.

My only point is that promoters are not hurting, if they were they would be no race tracks. These guys are no fools, there in it for the money and you can not blame them for that.

Dyno Don's predictable posts notwithstanding.....and with all due respect to Chris Nunn, I've got a tough time feeling sorry for Dave Rudisell. Folks working in a pie factory are envious of His Royal Bozoness.

He's got his loyal but unheralded right hand men, Tim Johnson and fishnman doing most of the heavy lifting. They get the grief when the track sucks (mighta happened once this season) and Dave steps to the front for and bows when the racing surface is the normal topnotch.

You think he thought of all those great innovations and improvements by himself? All the good are right out of Section "A". He stops by often to pick up tips (free ones I might add) from us. Most of the less than successful stuff was recommended by Chuck Nungester.

Someone mentioned security. He gets free site surveilance security, usually from Sat. mornings thru Sun. mornings, from Mr. and Mrs. mowerman and their vicious watchdog, Jade. Just watch where you step after dark.

He doesn't have to stand in line for a cheeseburger. He slips in the side door of the concession building, an entrance off limits to the rest of us. Danny Burton has a serious problem with that.

He's got the BIGBUDMAN serving him BIGBUDS on the backstretch at a few events each season.

He gets free breakfast a couple of times a year at the local Bob Evans eatery. O.K., he picks up the tab more times than not, so I grudgingly give him a pass there. Damn, I think it's my turn and I'm sure he'll go for steak and eggs if he reads this.

Lastly (for now), I met Mrs. Rudisell late in this just recently completed season. She's a 10...oh yes.....and Dave, what's he? A two? A three maybe if you don't deduct for girth. Yep, my heart bleeds for the poor guy.

Given time, I'm sure I could think of more reasons NOT to feel sorry for Bozo (one being that he has good friends like me ). But, I won't.........because of all the scores of tracks I have attended in my 45+ years of chasing sprint cars from coast to coast, the Lawrenceburg Speedway is the finest facility where I have ever bought a ticket and losing 50/50 chances. I would assume Mr. Rudisell has had something to do with that. Maybe he had a lot to do with it. Well done Dave.... Keep up the outstanding work. Now pass me the chapstick, and bring on the 2010 season.

Very good evauation there DUNNODON! I do have one question: does it take you an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes?

Don
I agree with you totally, the promoters are probably making 60% to 70% return on their investment every week. I would suggest that you pull all your money out of all of your current investments, mortgage your house and sell your oldest daughter and start promoting a race track. That way you can run one class, and the feature will be over before 8pm every night. Go for it Buddy, I am sure everyone will support you totally on this. ACT NOW!!!!!! won't be too long and the secret will be out on how to get rich and there will be a race track in every community.

Wow, There is some good stuff in this thread!!! I'll be putting it all in the novel i'm writing in all my free time at the track. Fishnman knows the life i live and the trillions i make, I treat him to gourmet meals at a 5 star restaurant just north of the speedway daily(not really, we take turns buying lunch) and i'm only 1 meal away from getting boardwalk and making another million. Once in a great while we splurge and even get one of those 2 apple pies for a dollar.
I also make so much money that instead of paying someone to clean the restrooms in the fairgrounds i do it myself, Just 2 weeks ago i found 37 cents in the showerhouse, and a cubic zercomia(sp) earring that will be a nice x-mas gift for the Mrs......which Fishburger says shes a 10, as it goes, i went to bed at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2.
And once again this is for Dyno doo doo...
I gotta go and fill another mattress with hundreds!!
Love Bozo
