Not just 1 date…5 dates this year. Great news! :huepfen024:

The crowds were tiny when the TBARA last ran at Desoto. John told everyone, publicly and privately, that he was losing money on their nights. He terminated their remaining dates in the final year they were there.

What has changed?

His perspective on things…:slight_smile:

That’s great! Hopefully it will help the track. Is there promotions for it more places than here?

I wondered about that also. The asphalt sprint car racing in Florida has been nearly non-existent this year because of a dispute between the track owners and the sanctioning bodies over sanctioning fees, or payouts if you prefer to call it that. So apparently one party or the other has capitulated and is either paying more or receiving less. I sure hope it works.
