You calling me a diehard John ?

The purestocks at Brownstown pay the same for 2nd as LPS for the super stocks, $200. They pay their bombers $250 for 2nd. It just doesn't make sense for a lot of guys to go to LPS over other tracks. And when you get more cars you get more fans. I know when I go to the track I have about 8 people in the pits cause of me, and at least 4 in the stands. Might have to start cutting back because it just doesn't make sense for the money we currently race for. I know it isn't about the money, but we can't all go broke over it. JMO

All I have to say is I Love Thursday Night Racing and hope after Sprint Week is gone car and fan counts will come back up, That's if Joe doesn't pull the plug on it. Yes right now he is losing money on it but with anything New it takes time to be successful and If not,Thanks Spiker & Crew for trying your best!!!

I agree Kenny the posting of LIVE updates needs to stop, Don't get me wrong Folks I love them too but it is hurting the Tracks by attendance...YES Many can't attend the races because they are out of state so here is my if it is possible for Bill to set up in his settings on here to block viewers from being able to see the LIVE updates Unless your location is within a set distance from the track by users IP Address so then this will force (some more) not all local fans from the couch to the Tracks....Yes some locals can't attend because of being at work so you will have to wait too for next day results on here or even better not know any results and watch it on Jackslash.com JMO
