Well I see you "drivers" think a lot of us race fans. calling me a names is not a smart thing to do, for you see we the fans are what keeps racing alive. do you think the owners just built a track to give you a place to race? not hardly, its about making money, no cars=no fans and without us fans the track closes due to no money. the track needs to worry a little more about the comfort and concerns of us race fans, instead of just taking our money at the gate if they plan on surviving. we have spoken loud and clear, changes are needed or the track will not survive. Will you really enjoy your win, when only 50 people are in the stands to watch you win a race where only 5 cars started to begin with. you can make all the excuses you want about why the car count is down, but really the bandits,semipros and enduro classes could care less about dirt series races and the numbers have been down in all classes all season, not just the modifieds and prostocks. and to say that the track is doing you a favor by allowing you to try out a new car or sell your old one. why would I want to pay 12 bucks to see you try out a car? I come to see racing not practice. the season should have been over a couple of weeks ago, its just to cold for us to sit in the stands in 30 and 40 degree weather. I have been attending the races at frogtown for 14 years and most of you drivers that have responded to this message board are mostly rookie drivers who would be willing to drive in an old cow pasture, just for the thrill. you really do need to get out and visit other tracks. you can hate me for my opinion but i speak for many of us racefans, and as a driver you would think a fans point of view is important, instead you call me names. racing as a whole is about the track making money, the fans having fun and drivers putting on a good show. this year frogtown is batting zero as they are making no money, the fans are having no fun and the drivers are not putting on a show worth 12 bucks.
