I have yet to attend a No Way Out 40 for a variety of reasons, but I have followed the comments on IOW. I believe the sprint car count was in the fifties last year vs. twenty-eight this year, and the comments seem to indicate there was a very small crowd. I would imagine the promoter suffered a financial loss, and in hindsight wishes he had cancelled the race, as all the Ohio tracks did. When the temperatures are in the range they were yesterday, and rain is threatening, you can bet that only a few diehards will attend. I hope the event doesn't go by the wayside because of the lower car count, and low spectator turnout. Hope it's sunny and seventy next year!
I think the weather played a big part in the car count and spectator count. I am very glad we rolled the dise and went, With out a doubt some of the best racing i have seen in years, huge cushion wheelies down the front and back streach, slide job after slide job. Thank you Brownestown speedway!!!!!!
Crowd and car count are a direct reflection of the weather. If you didn't go, however, you missed one HELL of a race!
The Icebreaker late model race the week before was standing room only. And it was $30 a person! The weather was almost perfect for that race. I'm sure this race won't go anywhere, and with the racing yesterday, I'm sure more and more people will show up.
during drivers meeting promoter stated he knew he was going to lose money, but wants to do this race for years to come. he had actually consider in previous weeks raising purse to $10,000.00 to win. with yesterdays results that he would have wait awhile before raising purse.
