racevw112 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Outside looking in, the problem I see with CC Speedway is all the bad that happened to the track last year. Anytime stuff like that happens and someone comes in to rebuild, unless the person is a very, very well known promoter the track will have a tough time getting over it's bad past. It's happened up here in North Texas. We have one promoter that goes from track to track. He has a following of drivers and they are only going to race where he promotes. He has been around forever. I know of 4 different tracks he has promoted and is still promoting. We had one track that did not open till June last year. They used to have a huge ministock class and only paid $75.00 to win. By him not opening until June last year, it really hurt his car count and fan base. He decided to cut the mini's this year because not enough cars. The thing I believe that keeps this track open is they own the facility, I assume it is completely paid off. Other wise I do not see how they could make it. About 5 years ago they increased the seating capacity from 300 to 600. I really do not understand the pit fee's down south. Hope they do not make their way North. We still pay $25.00 for pit pass, with car. Go karts we pay $10.00 for pit pass and $5.00 to race that night. They give trophies to the top 3 finishers in each class every race night. The end of the year, they have a banquet with trophies to the top 10 in each class, plus jackets or hoodies. The trophies are huge, with them ranging in size from 6 foot down to 3 foot. For as tracks fighting with each other...... We have two dirt tracks with in walking distance of each other, both run on Saturday nights. One is IMCA sanctioned the other is not. The one you can turn around in top of the stands and watch the races at the other facility. The one's pits back up to the others grandstand parking. Just my 2 cents.

thumper Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 BTW Rosie it was a pleasure to finally meet you too Sat.Too bad it was too cold for Oldtimer to come out but you know how those old people are.Heres a funny story. Someone said you were there.Some who did not know you thought you were a femail because of the Rosie name.I told them with a name like that to look for someone that looks like Rosie Greer the ball player.Kind of like the boy named Sue deal.They asked me "Whos Rosie Greer?"I turned to Wills dad and asked him if he knew and of course he did.I really felt dated when Will didnt know.Pesky youthful Neon.Heck Im old enough to be his Dad.Fact is Im older than his Dad. No wonder he cleaned my plow in the cold. OT I will bring you a blanket next time so you can make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neon14 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Rick it would be nice to see the farm truck out there again like old times! Looks like the pesky neon has to take a couple of weeks off for family events. We will be back early next month to tackle the bullring again.
