Mike, other than the lack of proper ventilation and those damned hoops that don't stay in the dirt, the indoor track is great! With a captive audience it's pretty easy to make a good buck in this area come winter time. That's not the issue.
To become profitable and to remain commercially viable the track needs to draw a bigger crowd than the little club tracks in the summer time.
On road summer racing alone will not save this place either. This is business.
You guys can hate on me all you want but I speak the truth. Why? Because, believe it or not, I actually want this place to succeed. If I didn't care I'd say nothing and just put up with things until the place went under like others and then say, "Remember Leisure Hours?".
I'm pissed because I believed Bernie when he said that this place would be "the best in the midwest" and I feel like I've been lied to.
