I just thought with Paragon and Rutnamville being closed, a bunch of'em would tow on over to N. Vernon. I'm kind of shocked. However, I don't think it reflects on Lawrenceburg at all. I can see where the guys from the Ohio area that support Lawrenceburg may not want to tow to N. Vernon at $3.50-$4 a gallon. I'm not even sure points would be a consideration for some of those teams.

What about those who tow to the burg from all over, it doesn't cost those OH teams anymore to come here than we pay all year to go ther. Also think if this thing keeps going this way threw May, and i think it will, they will need to start Burg points to get enough cars for a show. One thing for sure, Twin Cities crowd has gone up with sprint cars added to program.

maybe its due to the owner not the promoter of TCRP?

There were a bunch of cars from central and southern Indiana with nowhere to run last night (Due to all of the rain outs) that are much closer to North Vernon than the Ohio area teams and they didn't show up either. That is what surprised me and why I originally posted. I truly expected 40 to 50 cars to show up. I can't speak to each individual team's finances from this area, but the cost of diesel, and where we decide to go racing, is much more of a factor this year than it was last. It's also possible that some of the teams up around Indy didn't want to pay the tow bill either. That's the only reason I can think of for such a small turn out.

And with every other track closed they did not want to take the chance and waste the $$$ towing from W-field or Gas City only to get rained out for the second time that night

Fuel prices, threat of more rain,thats my reason for not bringing our two cars,also open tire rule would had buy a couple of tires, just not worth it. don't realy think it has to do with who owns the track. He's not there so really can't use that probaly just the weather.
