I thought being a promotor was about putting more butts in the seats.
Maybe some people would come just for this and realize how good the races were and COME BACK AGAIN.
I know there was a big problem at Eldora ( I was there too), but I have to hand it to Tony racing a modified. Sure it is a Wednesday night, but they will draw a bunch of people just to see Tony race and guess what....the guy brings his kids and they get hooked on sprint cars like all of us, They decide to go see sprint cars again and maybe decide to go to another track whether it be Kokomo,Lburg,etc.
Why do they have bobble head night at a Reds game, a clown on the midway at lawrenceburg, $1 hot dog night at a ball park? To get more people there...and maybe just maybe some new fans. It's suppose to be ENTERTAINMENT. I was in sales for 20 plus years and if you don't keep getting NEW customers, then you won't stay in business...and it doesn't matter what business you are in.
I'll get off of my soapbox now
