After a couple days to reflect, I figured I would come on here and make some comments.
First and foremost, I can’t thank everyone enough for showing up and making this event as special as it truly was. We had a whopping 90 cars in attendance on a Thursday night for a one night a year race. That itself, is astonishing. These drivers showed up not really knowing how the track was going to shape up and put on masterclass of a show. Thank you to every single driver that supported this event.
How about the grandstands??? Holy cow was this place rocking. Like our announcer Todd said,there truly is no crowd like the one at Dodge County Speedway. The atmosphere was electric and had people screaming and on there feet all throughout the night. Thank you to all the fans that showed up!
Now, we understand we had some hiccups throughout the night. We knew we were going to have some growing pains as it’s our first time promoting and pulling off an event of this size. The track was pretty wide for the heat races, but we thought that it was still pretty choppy for the drivers and wanted to create a smoother surface. We intended to just blade and sprinkle and go on with the features not knowing that it would take 45 minutes to an hour for the water to saturate into the surface. That is 100% on us and will be taken into consideration next time. Next, we started on printing checks out immediately after the hobby stock feature. We had some minor issues going on with how they were getting finished and trying to make sure every one was correct. All of these problems can easily be fixed for next time.
We wanted the races to be done by 10:30 at the absolute latest. I think that is very achievable if we didn’t put on as much water as we did during intermission. Like I said, I think the few problems we did have are very easy to fix.
Remaining checks will be sent in the mail.
Other than that, I’m very proud of this successful event. I can’t wait for next year. I’m so excited that I want to put on another event this year. We will talk with the fairboard in these upcoming weeks and see if we can’t throw in another one-off event.
Below is a list of our great sponsors that put forward some money to help out with the purse. Without them, this event doesn’t strive as much as it did. Support those who support racing.
THANK YOU ALL! We will talk very soon. Promise that.
Also, 90 cars for Nine Zero Promotions?! Neat.
