Thinking about S/SS Combo Race at Thunder Road Raceway

Not sure if it's a summer race or fall but it's will be great. A lot of people are in. Racers tell us what you want. Just let's us know
Thanks

I agree, It is Time to bring back some Class Racing to this area. Back in the '70s it would draw a crowd at Hallsville, I-20 and Whitehouse. With the later mod cars and better selection of cars I see the spectators enjoying the "Car Show" that goes along with the race of this type. If promoted correctly I think it would work.
It should be timed correctly, no outside interference with other "Things" in the area that draws spectators away. Bobby, I've talked to Frank Hale about something like this and he has shown an interest to help out with a purse.
This track has been abused by promoters saying they are going to have a "Show" and the spectators come and see "No Show" As racers we need to see this doesn't happen. We need to support the track and provide a show so he can get spectators back in the stands. Just having good car count there doesn't always make the tracks trip to the bank a good trip on Monday. The key to this tracks success is filling the stands with spectators.
