I have been going to the burg for years. Since I was 3 and now I'm 27. I have never seen a program ran as speedy as last night at this track. 64 cars 12 races done by 10:30. Keep up the good work!
It seems to me that promoters are being more pro active on keeping the shows moving along which is awesome. Eldora was done by 9:45 Friday and last night and that makes everyone happy at all the tracks.. thanks guys
All tracks should run thier program assuming that they have a 11:00pm curfew. There is nothing better to keep everyone on tasks like a deadline. A couple of secrets. Start the race on time. I don't care what time you post as your starting time, just make sure that the first heat is on the track at that time. Timed intermissions. Many tracks now have electronic scoreboards with a clock function. When you go to intermission, tell us how long the intermission is going to be and the start the count down on the clock. When the clock reaches 0:00, the first main event should be on the track.
For years the mentality was that fans would watch the clock and feel like they hadn't gotten their money's worth if the show ended before 10. Now the entire operating staff (this includes competitors) are judged by the efficiency of the program. And getting a full night's worth of racing action in a shorter period of time is a major bonus. It keeps kids awake. It keeps adults awake. The promoter might lose a buck or two at the concession stand but hopefully it is recovvered at the front gate for weeks to come.
Its pretty nice of you to acknowledge the hard work at Lawrenceburg. Contacting the track directly certainly would let them know but expressing it here let's a lot more people know. Nicely done!
Thanks everyone, We have a great crew at Lawrenceburg all the way around and i am very proud of them. It also helps when we don't have red flags, and this season so far have only had one for a hornet rollover.
Our curfew is midnight, we like to keep things moving along and try to get everyone out at a decent hour. Thanks again for everyones involvement at Lawrenceburg Speedway.
