Exactly bfe I'm not saying it couldn't work down the road but how many years has peterborough been doing this, it's a well known respected event.
It takes years to get there. My point was I think the money needs to go into the speedway. Not out the window, last year recorded by Glenn 25 people paid to go thru the main grandstands. This hardly pays for the toilet paper in the bathrooms.
Deb I am sorry but I have to disagree on the numbers that you say were through the main grandstands...I was there and the stands were almost full I have seen pictures to prove this.
Yeah I keep reading that and shaking my head. I was thinking somebody might of done some creative accounting last year to show a loss for that event...lol.
I was there and the place was packed. In previous threads we had actual car counts which were high. Even if you just used the numbers from those J-Cars there is more than 25 people that would of came through the gates.
You can say there was only 25 people all you want but I was there in the packed pits and I was there sitting in the packed stands watching the races... I even stood in the long packed line ups for food.
Could it be possible only 25 people came through the FRONT gate, and the stand were full of people from the pits?
No it is not possible. I know some of the 4 fun drivers and they bring 6 to 10 people each with them every event. I also know they brought them that night. It just doesn't add up.
I can't help it I was there and seen it with my own 2 eyes everywhere you looked there were people. There is even pictures to back this up. I have to admit we were lucky with the weather.. it was an awesome day!!!
I understand the fear of losing money and wanting to cancel the event. I am not sure of all the things that go missing from schedules and rules though. This weekend after busting my butt to get my car to the races and showing up in the rain and not being able to make it on the track I went to fill out my form for not being able to participate due to mechanical failure. It seems that rule (which is in MY rules that I signed up for for this season) has been removed just like the Frosty Special was.
JT I'm not arguing about the amount of people there I am only going by what I seen on paper, so obviously it was wrong.
As far as you stating the rules have changed well in the rules I have they read: "One night in June, July or August you may replace your points with a points total of 84 points.
I guess being September this rule no longer applies??
