  • Putnam closed....

    Guess the guy running the place packed up and skipped town.Took some of the things needed to run the track as well that didn't belong to him.From what I understand there was a meeting w/the owner of the track and someone else who is interested in taking the track over imediatley.Time will tell and hopefully they can get something worked out because we sure don't need anoher track to close up....

      That is too bad things went south already. What is it about that place? Is racing management that hard? Are there too many locals that are destructive influences?

          "Hey! This cupie doll has a #64 on it!"

          I bet the real problem is the same one faced by most small businesses, they were under-capitalized and couldn't wait for the cash flow to come around.

          SOMEONE has got to be able to run that track right.

            From what I've seen over there the last few times it's changed hands is this.The same group of individuals get in there and ruin the place because they always seem to be the ones whining and complaining.In turn it runs everybody else off and thats all who is left there in the end.Just my opinion mind you...

              It's a shame, went there a couple time, thought it was a good show. The times I went the crowd was good and the food was good too. Seems there was soap in the men's room too, so I guess that isn't all that important after all.

                  Actually Clay, I really didn't notice, I figure after you hold the old fella a good rinse job probably takes care of the issue. I just thought it was a good dig at my Buddy Boney, just so's he knows I still think of him and remember the fun he had a yr or so ago giving me crap!! Nothing personal to him you understand!! LOL

                      Wish you could, I called it a nice little facility. The racing was gppd, admittance fee reasonable and the food was great.
                      Kind of reminded me of the atmosphere at Beech Ridge Speedway in Maine 30 yrs ago and still today.

                        The ONLY way this track will make it is if someone gets it who has a BIG bank roll which the last few who had it didn't.They also need to learn how to get the track away from the same old people who think they own the damn place and want everything their way.Another words,hire ALL NEW PEOPLE!!

                          Yup, that's the way it is at a lot of tracks.

                            From what we're hearing the person(s) who are now trying to get the track are involved w/some of the same people who have helped bring it down in the past.If thats the case you can count any of us out!!

                              Putnam had recently switched to Friday night in response to BRP. They only got a few Friday race nights in before calling it quits.
