perhaps there would be a larger crowd of patrons if the track was open more often AND more people knew about it... so i think interstate is either being lazy or shooting themselves in the foothighly doubt it. The automotive community isn't very large in the FM (and immediately surrounding) area, not enough to support a track by it's self IMO. That means pulling in cars from a distance, and I don't see these people making that trip every weekend, especially with something like the street-legal crowd..
As far as people not knowing about it... what else should they do? It's been advertised on the radio (I think it was on many of the clear channel stations)... I think it's down to word of mouth. There's only so much advertising a budget will allow.

not all of us have the same priorities.
my ideas of "fun" and the ideas that everyone has are often completely different. ie- i prefer to spend my weekends earning money and playing games at home instead of getting drunk, unlike +/-50% of the 14-30 crowd in this area.
i could go on a long rant about what i see as friction points between myself and the rest of society, but suffice to say that we don't agree on very many things -

it was initially intended as a complaint and a joke.
think of it this way... you're alone on a farm with a nearly cartilage-less knee, broken arm and no phone. on this farm there is a car with a burnt out clutch, a new clutch sitting on the seat, the shop manual and tools in the garage to replace said clutch; however, you've only changed a car's oil. you want a steak, but forgot to buy one from the schwan's man that morning and the store is 15 miles away. you could spend all day replacing the clutch to drive to the store, you could walk there and back, or just wait until the schwan's truck comes to the farm next week.
what do you do? obviously wait for the truck.
what will you do when you hear on the radio that schwan's isn't sending any drivers out all next week because there are forecasts for tornadoes all week?if that's a little too mentally involving for some of you, how about this: why do you people that watch football make jokes about "player x" fumbling the ball when he's hit from behind? think you could do better? why do you whine when "your team" doesn't win? think you could have won? how about when the coach makes a decision that you don't agree with? were you there? do you have all the facts about the situation?? i don't think so.
now what do you think? still think i'm so stupid for making a fairly weak complaint/joke? you'll be sure to notice all the anger and rage behind my words in the first post of this thread, because i am SO pissed off that the track day might be cancelled.
now, start taking shots at my dripping sarcasm, you know you want to.

that price to race is extremely high... but its not too bad i suppose given that there is barely a spectator's fee... -

it's a decent price when you look at the factors.
ya i suppose... not too bad of a track. Better than what I expected it to be at first. -
i remember asking a couple of guys about it last year (when i stopped by one saturday before work to see what kind of place it is) and if i remember correctly, it costs a lot more to run if you're extrememly fast. maybe it was in reference to some contest that was going on?
sorry thread starter, things arent looking good for ur thread.
