I agree to this. It will take a lot of support and more people coming to the track. The prices for general admission and food at concession stand are fair if not better then most tracks. The track is the best it has been in years and I think a sprint car division would be great. It would allow for the local racers to race near home. It would be cool to race three nights a week and not burn a full tank of gas out of the haulers. (Gas City, Montpelier, Kokomo).

I hope something happens soon. If the car count does not pick I heard from a very good source they will close the track for the rest of the year. Lets get the cars to Montpelier and keep a local track open!!

Have a payout like Gas City and NO TRANSPONDERS and you will have a crowd like Gas City. J.M.O.
We will run as will a lot of the people on this side of the state.

Duke I 100 percent agree. Keep dilluting car and fan counts and the only way you'll survive is back gate with 40 dollar pit fees.
