The midweek shows in the northeast are special shows, perhaps with the exception of Thunder Road. The DIRT shows are a special series for modifieds that compete for a decent purse and points fund, as well as a guaranteed start for the Syracuse race in October. They may run 2 or even 3 midweek shows then they race their regular tracks on the weekend. All the tracks promote and benefit from it. They have the special midweeks shows that pack the place and they also have some of the big name drivers who will be at the regular programs. Actually, the points fund has a bonus for regular track points to encourage the drivers to race weekends. There’s no reason that couldn’t work here and benefit all the tracks. I hate that special series all want to race on weekends. It draws the drivers away from a weekly commitment at a regular Saturday night venue. I feel it would actually benefit series, such as the UDLMCS and FUPS to run those shows on a weeknight with a larger purse and one support division. You may get many more drivers to attend those shows than take a Saturday night off from their weekly track to race at another. The tracks will benefit because they can have these guys become regular competitors at the Saturday night track.
Oh yeah, there are special WoO sprint and late model shows run weekdays up there, as well as the Lucas series also.
