ross, I was at Barrie last Sunday and if you put that crowd into the old stands alone, minus the modular stands, you would have had a much better idea of how many were there, and it was rather more than 50. No, it was not a big crowd, but scattered throughout all the hundreds of seats it looked much thinner than it was. I daresay you are correct in principle though on the Sunday invitationals. People seem to only want to go to the speedway on Sundays if it's Cup or Indy car etc.
Can someone please explain to me how on the schedule it has a raindate listed for Tomorrow? If this is not a go as of right now?
Check the schedule on the Sunset site; it seems Wes has changed it since the original hand-out.

I see well that is going to piss off some fans for sure since I am sure that people are going to go tomorrow and be very disappointed if they are looking at the paper I am looking at...
Did you really expect Wes to make a smart decision about tonight ? I sat last Sunday with his dam race director in the stands at Barrie Speedway with my friends . After listening to his crap I let him know how I really felt and moved to another seat . Lets face it everyone : Sunset is done with these two in charge ! I say we all boycott and go to Barrie Speedway next year . We all were looking forward to the last race of the year and these guys just don't get it . I hope the hotdogs left in the freezer for tonight , won't be served opening night next year......lol
Really think you could do a better job? Please do. I'm sure he'd sell the place cheap...
Honestly, its getting annoying. You have all sorts of people here that have no clue what its like to run a business that are knocking the guy.
Time to get called on it. Get the money together LIKE WES DID. Buy a track LIKE WES DID. Take the risk of ownership LIKE WES DID. Take the hit from a season like this LIKE WES DID, then tell us your rocket science ideas.
