As for the double header weekends I still say it needs to be what I posted a few weeks ago. I also emailed it to John when he asked me to. On the flip side I never received anything back from that email. Little disappointing but...

They (track management) don't answer emails and like the previous owners, they don't talk to the guy at the bottom of the hill (Tony Novotny).

Here's my way of thinking, do a 2 for 1 night, promote the he'll out of it on tv and radio. That's bound to get new bodies in the stands. And if the die hard fans were to bring someone with them, somebody who has never been before, that's even more people. The place should be packed. Now, most of the newbies will buy something to eat or drink etc so there's some revenues from the ones that got in for free. Let's move to the following week, if half of those newbies decided to return, we now have a bunch of new fans, more ticket sales and more concession sales. Now here's the most important part, do another 2 for 1 night three or four weeks later, chances are that most of those new fans that were acquired from the last 2 for 1 night will bring a newbie with them. The whole process will repeat itself.

Does that make any sense? Or is my thinking way off?

why delly doesnt have a 4 cylinder mini stock class running every friday is beyond me...cheapest way to go in racing if you set the rules right and stick too them, like a 400 wear tire...at octoberfest and frostfest a few of the late model guys usually gets rides, and ya a few of them have wrecked big time...but they all say they are surprised how competetive the racing is...i remember hearing some big delly driver actually destroyed one at flammy just at practise a number of years ago...but problem now is that pavement mini guys are spending $$ on tires and the low buck guys cant afford that so some move to dirt...i just went thru the ohsweken mini drivers list and of the 31 that have ran so far, 12 use to run pavement and that is just minis, still havent counted drivers that moved to thunders which could be another dozen...$100 to $140 each tire for pavement guys when they run those falkens and dunlops...on dirt we run tires from canadian tire SE's or A/W, on sale most weeks for 1/2 that new or you can buy them on kijiji or at the scrap yard for $25...and take flammy,  the go karts going every saturday morning and a few kids every year move right up into that mini class...and those kids are good little drivers...delly gets a mini stock class going, could be drawing in drivers moving up from grandbend and woodstock from those kart tracks the same way maybe plus their own little late model class there....minis isnt as big a step up as a truck or superstock...i love varney but their problem is for the number of drivers in the area they had too many classes going on...why dont one of those northern tracks try sunday afternoon?..back in the late 80's when varney ran sundays at 1 in the afternoon were the best of times i always thought...the area regulars and then all the out of towners every week from almost every track in ontario, a $1000 car could win a challenger feature, pits full, stands packed with sunbathing bikinni topped wearing lady fans, peeing in an evesthrough, sitting on a one holer.....ahhh the good ole days...

the mini stocks run on the big track like everyone else...if you flip there alot of the time the car is toast, mini or thunder...the bombers run the small track and most are just a gutted car with a roll over bar and a couple of uprights...here is last weeks highlight video...it was a cold nite so the stands dont look as full because everyone was sitting at the top half..

Not to chime in hard, but he is right. The Big O has been kicking our butts on car counts. I was there and watched that third gen F-Body get half a lap on second, and still trying to figure out what he did to do that.

Mini Stocks run full track, and it is exciting racing. Many think it isn't (thinking 4/6's can't make a show), but it was exciting too. And most of the 4 cylinder cars were cheap to build, and would definitely put on a good show Friday nights. You just need to build a class for it. Copy their rules and take a look?

It didn't pass TECH, to much playing with the suspension. No win No points No money.

I could not agree more that the 4 Cyl class really is the way of the future as far as getting the "bread and butter" show going.  Very inexpensive, and unlike EVERY V8 class, there's still manufacturer competition; the 4cyl class at Barrie, for example, really plays up the whole VW vs Honda vs Ford thing, and the younger people in the stands really relate to it, and pull for their respective manufacturers.  So you have your usual die hard stockcar fans who enjoy the racing, but you'll also tend to pull in more casual fans and even some of the "Tuner" crowd with a good, solid 4 cylinder class.  Either Enduro OR Friday night, but I think a regular Friday night class would definitely help generate more interest.
