Didn't Fisher sell off a lot of the parking areas?  Parking gets tight with big shows.  I had a hard time finding a parking spot for the USAC Race...Well...Not real hard...But I know others after me had a hard time!!!

I'm sure they have plans to address all the flaws....I can't wait to see what all they want to improve! 

Possibly they might get Selinsgrove date ? as no new promoter has taken over this track yet , it up for grabs at this point . Selinsgrove could become a special events only track as weekly shows could be in doubt , as they did not get enough fan support weekly and car support as well .

I do not know your fincinal situtation, but me for one ,does not mind paying a little extra at Lincoln. They get a good car count, the racing is usually top notch.  Been to WG many times and it is sickening to see 21 410's for a $6000.00 to win show. WG is living on a past rep and needs somone to stir it up. Imagine if Port switched to Fridays?

My comment has nothing to do with my financial situation, I have no problem covering my costs to attend the races.  As a non season ticket holder I see the changes in price and I have to question why.  The Kasey Kahne qualifier is a perfect example of raising ticket prices without justification.  Why should the fans pay $10 a ticket more for the same field as a regular Saturday night with the exception of 2 additional cars?  In my opinion the issue is the lack of promotion to bring in sponsors and cover costs other than raising ticket prices.

Umm the 80 other drivers and hundreds of crew members that raced there every week. Those are the other faces. Ive spent every Saturday night from 2008 to 2014 racing up there.ive seen the softball size rocks left on the track. Ive seen not just poor but flat out dangerous track conditions week in and week out. Ive seen special treatment for season license holders. Ive heard todd say at driver meetings that he dont get any respect from anybody so hes not putting any of HIS money back into the track.  ive seen the worst track crew of any other dirt track ive ever been too. Hundreds of people have complained and ive heard todd say that the money is there and hes not spending it on things that dont need fixed. ( in his mind). Todd and rhonda did not want to sell the place. They sold it cause half the state was on their ass and they finally caved. So there you go. All fact. Nothing fabricated. 100%  truth. Am I still ignorant?

Turn4Guy - If the track was so dangerous ect ect ect....Why did you continue to put yourself at risk?  What was so dangerous? 

You still supported the track everyweek from 2008-2014....why?  Is it closer than any other track?

Turn 4 what was the number of your car?

All 100% fact?? So let me get this straight turn4guy, every week Todd gives you extra poor and dangerous track conditions & tells you in drivers meetings that he won't put any money back into the track yet it took you six years to make that firm decision that you've had enough.  Very interesting way to go about things.  I have spoken to many, many drivers who say they will not go back (and actually don't wait six years to make that decision).  Not one has ever said that the reason is because Todd stands in drivers meetings and says point blank that he refuses to put money into the track and he pockets all the profits.  Guess Todd didn't spend any money to make a quarter midget track, guess he didn't make decision to run test and tunes.  Not saying he is perfect, no one is but he did try and he kept the place open for 12 years.

Funds mostly.  Track configuration for the type of car we ran. 

Track configuration. Funds. Im done talkingto you micro.  this will be never-ending.  Your obviously a todd fisher supporter and thats fine. Good luck with racing assuming you do race. I like that class.  Hope to see more micro shows at susky in the future. 

Well if your asking the number of my car then you must be from susky. Id appreciate it if u backed me up on this. Then ill tell you who I am. Deal?

I have plenty of credibility because ive experienced it on a weekly basis. There's no need for me to give my name or what car I deal with. U asked me my number so that means you would be able to tell who I am, BECAUSE that would mean youve raced back there or are a fan that attends weekly. And anyone who was back there weekly would know what im talking about. Thousands of people have been trying to get todd to sell for years. There's a reason why people constantly tweet and post on Facebook about how shitty that place was ran.   Im not the only one.  And thank god they sold. Becajse what we have now is RACING mind from a RACING family that knows what to do with perhaps the raciest track in central pa. Thats place was a shithole. And in 3 years you'll see why the Gobrecht family belongs, and why the Fishers don't. But I bet todd could put on a pretty good carnival...
