Date Posted: 15:34:09 06/23/04 Wed Author Host/IP: 172.209.180.31 i can see where you can say arkansas heads up racing is fading away in a sense (other than the fact centerville is doing a great job trying to perserve it). I've been around the prescott track all my life and from what i see the main problem there is the operator. Steve Dedman has owned the track for quite a while and has had his up's and down's this year im saying is a big down. The way he is running not only the Outlaw Program but the way he is running the bracket program this year is doing nothing but running people off and making people mad. I mean yes he has had a great crowd with the first outlaw race this year. But did nothing but bump the pot up a few dollars in each class. There was a drag radial class, from what i saw at the first race there was no cars so automatically steve dropped it even though he didnt even try and promote it that well. You cant expect to have crowds that you would want for a big race or have the car count unless you promote. And just depending on a free website isnt the way to go. The only people i ever see trying to do anything for the track is junkman and cole. yes they dont get everything done but they try alot harder than steve. All i have seen steve do this year is open the gate and watch the money flow in a say well guys this just isnt quite the crowd we need to put the money back out. Even though you have 1500 if not more spectators at what 10 dollars a head on spectator side and 15 for pit and i think just as many go on the pit side. Thats probly around 15,000 in just the gate oh and then the people gotta eat. Last time i went to one of the outlaw races at the end of the night the concession was sold out of just bout everything. im sure you would make a few thousand or so off that. Then lets see what else you need for the race oh yea made races well they pay to get into too they probly bring in bout 5000 for entering all the racers. lets see we are somewhere around the 30,000 area. But oh yea you do have to pay the racers back some money i would say lets see i added up the payout and it came out to be around 13,000 so right there we have a sitting 15,000 plus. Now if it takes 15,000 to pay the electric bill and the works ... because we dont have to worry about vht cause steve never touches it. then i would say there is a few thousand a night just hitting somebodies pocket. And all the racers get in return are... well thanks for coming. These guys support the outlaw program way to much to never get any rewards like larger payouts or the track getting sprayed or what but this whole thing with the people and racers supporting steve and steve not doing anything in return just sucks.
