calling all sportsman, lets bring it to showtime

[BILL86]

Rodger, Hey buddy wish I could run this weekend, but my car is for sale. If you know of someone looking for a sportsman give me a call, thanks Bill VanDevender 239-707-3472

[RogerWelch]

Hey Bill put a for sale sign on that rocket and bring it to showtime with 4000 people there you might just find a buyer. Dont tell them its fast show them its fast. Hope to see ya there

[Racer11]

I will be there #11 Sportsman Mark Nelson.

[Darren]

How has the fan count been. Are you basing the 4000 because on the Grand Opening or thats what it has been each night. Great if it has been.

[Frasson118]

Who knows... can't get any info from that track.

[Frasson118]

I take that back. Just checked their web-site and it has results (I think) from this past weekend, but nothing prior. Not even sure they are results, as it's listed as "all drivers that raced", and doesn't give any positions.

One thing I saw, that completely sucks as far as I'm concerned, is the "new" policy for drive-in parking. There is now a 4 person minimum per car allowed back there. I don't mind the $25 for the vehicle, but I rarely head to the track with 4 people in the same car. This policy excludes me from the drive-in, which to me is a huge attraction of going to a racetrack in the first place.

OSF was excluded this past weekend, and decided to spend his money at Auburndale... as I did also. That single policy (greed) chased at least 3 admission fees and 2 parking spots to another track. No big deal to them to lose 3, but how many did they/will they lose in the long run?

I hope this idea falls flat on it's ass, and goes back to first come, first served.

I think he did that because it is so popular. Just hook up with 2 more people on here when your going. The money you save not paying 5 Dollars for a beer and grillin' your own grub still makes up for it. He has Sportsman on the schedule for Saturday. Now he's got to get some rules up pronto because 6 (now 5) days notice ain't much time. Someone should tell Yoho to just go with Citrus rules. They make just about every car legal and they are off next week and just drew 19 cars for a regular show, in July no less. Half the guys that run there like to travel around anyway.

[Frasson118]

Drive-in parking is very popular at every track that has that option.... done it at 6-8 short tracks, and infield at about 10 Nascar tracks. Not ONE of them had a Minimum Passenger rule.

I've had groups of 20-30 people meet me at Volusia knowing i had a fence spot, and they would have a place to go once they arrived. I'd get there early, get the spot, everyone else would arrive as they could. If this had been the rule there, ZERO of us would have been there.

Scott.... On paper, your idea makes sense. In reality, it just doesnt work out that way.

Robert.... you just took away one of the big attractions of driving 2 hours, and past several other tracks, to come to Showtime. For me, it's no-show time.

[BILL86]

Rodger, how may laps? Hopefully its 50.. And I know of 3 people from down here who want to know the payout, everyone has to know ahead of time. Let me know as soon as you hear something.

[RogerWelch]

This just in from Yoho 15 cars we run heats and 30 laps for 500 to win. If 20 or more show up we can time trial and run a 50 lap race he said 800 to 1000 to win. Robert will discuss that with the drivers when they show up.
