policy for 30 cars or less

[Boneman]

We struck out tonight at OSW. My home track, a place I love, put on a piss-poor show with terrible car counts in all classes. The problem is there were a few hundred fans in the stands to see it.

No kidding here, I would have refunded every ticket sold at the front gate. In fact, I would make it a policy: less than 30 cars and we'll call it a test and tune where spectators are free.

Look at it this way, maybe it will draw spectators back if they think "hey, we got in free last time, lets go back and see if they have a terrible turn-out and we get in free again!" As it is, I don't think we won over any new fans tonight.

Still, a pass goes to Keelor, Brown and Bristol nontheless.

I wasn't there, and I feel guilty about not going to my Friday Night Raceway anymore.

Somewhere, somewhere deep down around or inside, there has to be a silver lining, or a light at the end of the tunnel.....in one form or another.

It was a heck of a line-up of classes, for sure, and I thought that they would have hit a home run tonight.

Race hard and race often. If we fill the pits, then full stands will have to follow. I have no doubt the track will get back on its feet one day, but it takes some effort to get those dusty old cars off the jackstands and back in the pits.

Critical drivers are not the problem, apathy is. It is the natural state of racers to be crabbing about something, so I have no problem with that as long as they are showing up and racing.

Boney... How many in each class? Were there enough cars in the Minis for you to run?
This is so sad for OSW and my friends who are trying so hard there... Tonite at Auburndale I really don't know how we are going to park all the cars in the pits...

[Boneman]

There were 40 cars in the pits last night, not 30. My bad. However, the show was weak and should have been a freebie.

How much would it have cost the track to refund front gate admissions, and what would they have got for it? My guess is that they would have given back $1000. Would they have got back some goodwill for that amout? Yes, but you can't put a number on it. Oh well, on to July 9.

Dave, mini stocks were off. See what happens when a track doesn't have minis? Everything goes downhill!

i pointed this out to Kim back when Rusty was still the promoter. that handing out free pit passes was pointless when the show is so bad. all you do is prove to people that they don't want to pay money to see the races.

and FASCAR has, what, half the cars now that they did when i first said this too her?

car count is a major issue. but it's not the ONLY issue with how the racing is presented at FASCAR.

Hey Boney, why dont someone try calling some of the owners on rusty old jack stands. Oh, sorry, that didn't go over well last time. No more suggestions , I'll be asked to prove something, screw it, let the place close!!

Be Careful Dave!!

Boney and his buddies will ask you to prove you don't have room enough. Probably will demand the names of every car in the pits, and tell you that was an outrageous statement. I really don't understand no-one racing at Orlanda, as cheerful and happy as Boney and his buddies are!!!! LOL!!!

[Boneman]

Thats cool Dave, hope you have a great night. Now that I have all 3 cars running, I have to find a few nights to get back over there and race on the new surface.

Still waiting for my phone call... guess no one wants us back.

[oldyeller]

It wasn't the worst show I've seen there, and it was kind of nice to be over at 10pm. Sort of like going to a bad movie -- hey, at least it was short.
