The Track is at the mercy of the State of Nevada and I do not think
that they are even close to a decision this far in advance!

As usual = I hope I am wrong.

However, without substantial spectator participation - The Track has
no desire to host any National Race.

John and Jon there are still 4 spots still open in Superstock in Georgia. Swing by and pick me up. The blues from the Blue states are rough. Personally just battling high blood pressure. Go Figure!

Not trying to rile anyone up.....My point was, why doesn't track (Las Vegas) management offer some incite, (maybe once a month?) so local racers know how to plan for TNT's, Bracket races, etc.? Wasn't speaking about the Lucas or National events. I completely understand the need for spectator participation to make these events viable. I just think a bit of communication would be helpful.

I have chatted with Jeff a couple times = He is a proponent of
Sportsman racing.

However:

1/ It is a beautiful but expensive track to operate and difficult
for a bracket program to pay the overhead.

2/ The ownership has nearly no interest at all in Sportsman racing
and would be happy to see it's demise.

My observation:

Jeff does absolutely all he can in a very difficult situation for the
Sportsman Racing at LVMS.

That is all I better say right now = But it is a serious problem at this point.

Understood.....Just venting I guess. Was really anxious this year about Div. 7. Wild Horse and Tucson cancelling, and Vegas up in the air, this years travel plans have changed quite a bit. Lots and Lots of extra Miles to get 8 races. And like you, don't feel good about Div. 7 opportunities going forward.

Fingers crossed for rest of year

It's still baffles me that LVMS has to go by state guidlines but casino's get to be regulated by the gaming commision. I get the differences but when I was there last October for the double, my hotel was packed. People everywhere.

In one word...........................MONEY

Gaming is a major financial tax support and employer
in our State!

Racing is not either one!

I am not defending the Situation = Just explaining it!
