Re: Big Chief DQ
Several years back, we had one of our SW Drags events at Speedworld.
We had a nice deal.. 200 race cars, including 20 or so S/SS-ers and about 1000 spectators.
That evening, the track had booked in the Pinks TV show event.
As some of our people were leaving, others started pouring in for the big "show". They filled all the grandstands and were 4 deep at the fences in lawn chairs. I would have killed to get that kind of "gate".
A friend asked me.."Where did all these people come from? " Why don't they come out like this for our deal?
I just told him..National TV exposure, my friend.
I never knew too much about this guys until it came up here a few months back, but trust me, as a part time promoter, I get it.
