I watched the Must See Extreme feature replay from Kalamazoo last night and it was an excellent race. I'm a dirt guy and prefer non-wing but $25 for two different sprint groups isn't a bad deal at all. No matter what a promoter does somebody is always unhappy. Tom
I have caught all of the Must See Extreme Races on TV this year and thought they were all good. Wish I could be in Salem today to attend this race. An for all of you fans that think a $5 increase is to much, Oswego ran a $10,000 to win supermodified race in July general admision is usually $12 and jumped to $25 for 10 extra laps of racing and an extra $7500 to the winner. The money has to come from somewhere to cover the $7500 and the place is usually packed even with the admission price doubling. I paid it and would galdly pay an extra $5 to see two classes of sprint cars run around Salem if I could be there.
Becareful what you ***** about, next time you want to go to your favorite race track they might just be holding a rock concert instead of racing. Actually that is what is happending in Oswego tonight, four tribute bands playing the music of The Eagles, Areosmith, Jimmy Buffett, Journey and a local band Frostbit Blue will preform from 2 P.M. until 11 P. M.. An before you think this is a negative post I have a ticket to attend the concert and hope it is successful I just personally wish they had scheduled it for September when the racing season was over. I hate to see the racers loose a race date for any reason but am all for race tracks doing whatever they need to to stay in business even if it means stepping outside of the box and trying something new.

I think 80 laps of feature racing is not out of line for $25.00.
Get well soon, Gregg. I'll clone myself for you and be there.
