fact- operating budget for a short track in Canada min $750,000.00. Fact- sources of income fans, racers and sponsors. all equaling important. take sometime at your home track and do the math. nothing happens in isolation,lower ticket prices then one must charge more fees to the racers, it is a well performed balancing act as my ulcer can attest to during the last two years.

Ya, I'd say so! I missed last years ASA show at Cayuga because someone in our family decided a wedding was better than a car race, that's the 2'nd time that's happened to me (CASCAR season opener at Delaware a few years back too, thankfully a tornado blew thru and it was rain/flood/wind delayed). 
So, it's going to be too bad if anyone else gets married, cuz I'm not missing anymore races.

I'm with you AutoAssembler, if people wanna get married, they can do it in Dec. or Jan. or mid-week.

Cayuga Speedway needs fans regardless of who is running,

I agree MidAmerica but how did my thread get highjacked from letting our Canadian fan base and American friends know about ARCA coming up here to the status of Cayuga Speedway? I think it's awesome and I'd like to see them fill the place to the point they need to bring in the portable grandstands for this race!

For the record, I'd be one of the first in line to back Cayuga and promote it! I did purchase seasons tickets last year, and you never heard me complain about the cost either. Cayuga is my favourite track and I consider it one of my home tracks. As a matter of fact, if Cayuga were to run regular weekly racing I'd be there every week to support them. 😉

At any rate, I think it's awesome that ARCA is coming to Cayuga, and anyone who is a race fan should consider getting off their couch and watch this series race up here live! Maybe the OSS should consider being their support race Dave? Who knows if ARCA gets a big draw, maybe it would be good to showcase the OSS in front of a new prospective new fanbase? What do you think???

Cayuga's problem is they run on Saturday. That puts them up against Merrittville and Flamboro in drawing racing fans in the area. Plus the Tigercats play Saturdays alot now, and eventhough they suck, they draw a good crowd. They need to race Sunday. I kno there were lots of racers last year interested in checking out the new Cayuga, but u cant if your racing for points.

That might be true, but I think their bigger problem was blowing the whole budget on hyping the NCTS and hoping that it would be enough to get everyone out for the other stuff, not to mention hoping that area race fans would be ready and willing to drop 50 bucks 2 or 3 times a month. That's how it all looked to me anyway. I don't think they'll make those mistakes again though.

But we'll see. Should be a good race. Apparently we passholders from last year have some pro-bono passes coming for this year too. Which is pretty sweet if they're serious about it.
