Late Model Purse?

i heard last night that they was cutting the late model purse.that aint worth a crap.i think the track orta go ahead and shut down instead of waiting til the end of july.they aint gonna get no late models for 600 or 700 to win.that is pretty dumb dropping the purse that same weekend supr is at champion park.thats a quick fix for the drivers..go to champion instead of chatham.i wouldnt blame um at all.i heard about some other people interested in buying the track.i wish they would consider selling it to someone who would run it right.they are just running the tracks name in the ground.i would give anything to see that track running some big shows.the right person could get them world of outlaws and lucas and stuff like that there.the bagwells wont.i don think they even wanna race..guess its just a good tax writeoff. oh well.see yall at champion next saturday!

Fred

congrats to bugger on the top 5 run!

Re: Late Model Purse?
I hope that the track officials learned a lesson about cutting the late model purse.  Ever since the purse was cut Fasttrax has struggled to get 10 late models on a weekly basis.  Does anyone remember the great racing this class had early in the season?  The fans were robbed of their late models this year.  Hopefully the purse will return to normal next year.  Also congrats to Nicholas Brown on being the points champion.  He could have went and raced SUPR the rest of the year when the track cut the purse, but he stayed loyal to Fasttrax, his fans, and his sponsors.  Let's just hope he does next year.  The track can't afford to lose another young talent.

Re: Late Model Purse?

It has been rumored that late models will not even be in the program next year, or meybe create lates. The drivers and ownwrs need answers to plan for next season. They need to know because preporation takes more than a few days. It can bee an all winter afair, time & moneywise.

How about maybe a car count purse like some tracks are doing, like 1-6,6-10, and so on. Just a thought. But they do need decisions about the status.

I hope they run late models or we will be in for a short year of racing.  Give the fans what they want to see.  I know that there are alot of people who don't care about the late models, but the majority do.  If the track doesn't run late models we will have about 30 spectators every week.  You can't pay the bills that way.  Surely someone with some sense will step in and make next year better than ever.
