Joe Spiker runs Putnamville now

The final decision regarding VCS has not been made... VCS will either run on Friday or Sunday night.

It has not been decided that SPRINT CARS are out at VCS.

Sunday Nights!!!! Sprint cars YES!!!! (just one guys vote)

If you don't think sprint cars are what is filling the stands at vcs, then don't run them for 2 or 3 weeks and see what kind of crowd you pull with the program you have left. I have left immediately after the sprint car races and had to wait in line to get out. If you all love sprint car racing so much, i don't understand why you have so little regard for screwing up danville.

My viewpoint is this...Joe Spiker has not made any decisions regarding VCS yet. Give the guy a chance. He said "I want to do both tracks justice." I personally believe him. There are a bunch of options out there for VCS. Sunday late afternoons and evenings are a potential, as are Friday nights. A UMP license could potentially be something to look at as well with the possibility of adding Super Late Models to the lineup as well. Why don't we all just sit back and wait and see what Mr. Spiker has to say. I'm sure he's got a lot of thinking to do and a ton of work with LPS now as well.

I want to personally thank Joe Spiker for stepping up and taking the reigns at VCS. He's definitely cleaned the place up and made it a much better and classier facility already.

The self imposed ban to LPS may be lifted now.

My thoughts exactly

You may get your wish Walls. 90% chance.

Since no one answered my question...is DA in charge of any other tracks?

EDIT 2: Maybe a trip to LPS is in order,

It has been about 3 years since I attended a race at LPS. Got so bad there that I could not hold my breath long enough to pee in

DA's

so-called rest room on the pit side of the track.
