whats the dirty girl run?
-
Breast cancer benefit

When the RoC schedule was released, there was mention of working on a second tour date besides the US Open. It would appear that didn't happen. That really sucks. Oh well, see you all in September. BTW, speaking of the US Open, I see on the schedule that it's planned for Friday through Sunday. If the Bills have a home game that week will they again make a last minute change to cram everything into Saturday?
-
"Rough Schedule".....Hmmm......Looks like, "If I want to see racing" I better be prepared to travel...Soooooooooo.....Loyal Race Fan Looking For A New Track To Call Home!!!!

Oswego would make a nice second home.

I've been home[track]less for a few years now. Sad part is that I'm 45 minutes from Oswego. That could easily be my new home track if it wasn't so damn fan-unfriendly. Oh well, guess I'll be getting dirty a lot again this year.
-
Jim is this an official release? Also on May 4th it says opening day. Would that be a reg show and the Empire State Midget Series web site has you on the schedule for Aug. 24th as well. Also is the Open a 3 day event this year? Best of luck to all you this year.

june 15th looks like a god date for the roc teams to compete, and dont forget aug 17 for the tommy&tony 110 lapper, should be close to an roc field of mods.

Sad day when the tracks #1 fan/supporter bails...............

My mistake I meant to say Aug 31st which is not on Jim's schedule. As I read further I see that this is not an official schedule. I'm sure the official schedule will be released soon. Sorry if I may have confused anyone.
-
geez, Howie, I never saw that one comin'!!!
-
Well Mike, I don't mind if the grass gets a little high (this is not a golf course), If the stands have a few? bad boards, Or if my hot dog is not cooked as I like it, I can even accept short fields in some classes (4cyls excepted)...BUT...To go 2/3/4 weeks without racing (and that is without any rainouts) is not acceptable..And on top of that...ONLY 2 MODIFIED RACES = a crappy race schedual (JMHO)..I wish ..LANCASTER SPEEDWAY..nothing but success this year, but, I beleave they have an even higher mountain to climb this year than in the past..
-
It's going to be a good summer, to fish
-
Well i the off weeks, you can either spend more time with your family, or go to the other tracks that race on Saturday. I know im either going to go to Holland Speedway or Raceway 5.
-
Attaboy to Howie glad I'm buying a boat this Summer

Gotta agree there is not much to get excited about with the schedule.

As was confirmed with Ralph today, there IS an ESTQM Series race August 31st at EBRP. I am not sure what, if any, special events they have scheduled that day.
-
Remember in the fall when I was blasted and called names for saying Lancasters management yet again would not have a schedule until march??? Guess I was a realist and not just hating on the track. They obviously weren't working with the roc tour much this year so what's the excuse for the late schedule? How many years will this go on?
-
I don't think it's a case of how long will this go on. I wonder how long before there is not a thing going on,openwheeker? Sorry situation with someone who could care less about the racers and fans. I live 20 minutes from the track and have been there 3 times in the last 3 years. By the looks of it I won't be there this year at all. I wouldn't even call that schedule,no mention of what cars or classes are running when. Just poor management completely. Wonder if the drag schedule looks as shabby????
-
September 14.. Points championship
September 20-22...US OPEN..roc mods

Help you out a little bit....

If Lancaster (or whatever they're calling it this week)were to cease operations, how many teams would move over to race at Holland?

When I attended a number of Promoters Workshops, they preached to the tracks PR staff, that when creating a schedule, NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER say that an event is a regular show. There is always something that you can add in print to make that event special. Before I went to work at Holland Speedway, I spent every sat. nite at Lancaster. IT WAS THE PLACE TO BE! I hope for the sake of former drivers, fans and staff from the glory days, the track can somewhat return to it's former self.
-
why do people think anything will ever change?

Hope, hope still remains.
Take Oswego for example. You never know when the right person might come along and pull a complete turn around. I kind of thought Tim Packman might have helped, but he obviously did not choose to stay. Who knows?

I like this kind of thinking. Despite Adirondack's eventual failure as a functioning track, I remember the track owner's insistence in 2008 that all regular events be referred to as special "Summer Sizzler" events. That year's schedule was constructed this way and it certainly caught my attention before I started working there.

I fully agree as Tim made quite the effort to return home only to leave after 1 yr. Front office cleanup is needed.

Until someone buys the facility outright nothing can or will change. The owner does not care if the place is a racetrack or dump, and why would someone leasing the property invest back into it knowing he will never get the return on investment since he is not the owner. Yes there needs to be a change in management but it will not make a dent in the problems until someone who cares purchases the facility outright and starts to invest in it.
-
I'm just speculating here, but I don't think Tim had the authority to make the kinds of changes that would really matter.
...and why would someone leasing the property invest back into it knowing he will never get the return on investment since he is not the owner.
The last time this was brought up, someone, I believe it was Casper60, used the example of Jeremy Corcoran at Canadaigua as a lease holder that invested his own money into a facility. I believe Jim Mazur has done the same at Raceway 5.
-
Who in their right mind thinks there is a lease holder of a race track anywhere that has not invested some of his own money? Whether it's done to some fans satisfaction might be a topic for another discussion. Jeremy Corcoran and Jim Mazur are exceptional promoters who may only be out worked by each other. The proof is in the results.
-
no summer slam 100?
-
may 18th memorial race? what class?
-
I would assume it would be late models, consider that what the race has been the last two years. ;)
