Even locally, money is going away..... We've had two of the same sponsors for better then 15 years, they are both done at the end of the season until "times get better"... Which means, we're done.... Probably put a car of my own together and go back to the bracket wars, but that's gonna be it. No more Super Gas, no more freebies and help for some of the local circle burners, no more putting a little money in the pot at a gambler's race on Saturday night 'til "times get better"... The trickle down of the bs economy finally made it to the poverty belt.... Local circle track, been here since the 50's is done, only action in turn 3 this summer has been watch the cows graze on the steep banking.....

Put me down for anything, ANYTHING that will put some money into drag racing and keep the sport going.... Heck, I'll always be a racer!!!!! Even if it's back to one pass on the bypass for $100.00 on a Saturday night.... That's where I started, betcha I'm still pretty good at it!!!!!!!

The economy stinks, non essential spending is obviously the first thing to go. Maybe the Pro cars go back to match racing best out of three at Cowpasture Dragways on Sunday???? Of course, with the lousy track prep and questionable safety program, they'll barely be in the 5's.... But hey, take the rest of the big money out of racing, that's where it's headed.

If Bruton Smith can pull some circus stuff and keep butts in the seats, I hope a dozen more promoters just like him jump up, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
