I just called and left a message at the track asking if the cars that attended qualifying, were ready to race and loaded up last weekend, and again this weekend, would be given some sort of purse split between the field, or paid by qualifying or however.

We have all paid to get it in, I don't see why they shouldn't do this.

I know I can't use my ticket at the beginning of 2007 at a track that doesn't run my division. If we don't get paid, then i'd like to use my ticket for entrance into next year's Octoberfest Weekend. I remember this happening at Peterborough Speedway one year at the Classic (think it was 1999), we got qualifying in and the mains were rained out, J.P paid the field based on their qualifying position.

I guess i'll wait for a response from either John or Frank.

They better hope the weather is damn-near perfect next year for Oktoberfest, or else they'll have NOBODY show up....

or run it Mid September

I like having late season racing....so leave it to october

confirming what Brett posted-it rained in the Flamboro area off and on last Saturday. It also rained down here yesterday off and on from 4:30 pm on with just a tease of sun around noon. Last Sunday was Sunny but the winds would have made it feel like 6 degrees which was sure to scare any spectators away. I openly wonder sometimes with the size of the crowds at Flammy for many of their shows (small) that the back gate is paying everything and any spectators that show are just gravy. Many tracks seem to be operating that way, bringing in more and more divisons, lengthening their programs, scaring off spectators & making it club racing.
Perhaps in future, the gentleman's agreement with Peterboro, not to run the same time as them may be broken. Quite a few of the Flammy LMs didn't run Peterboro so possibly Flamboro's show could feature LMs, Vintage Mods, Local Thunders & TQ midgets. Let the Limited Lates & Oscaar be the big draw at Peterboro. But both promoters seem to depend on those big back gates to make or break their season.
