The Badder family know's how to treat racers and the Fans who come to the race track . Everything about the race this weekend was first class.
Anytime you have 10,000 people watch a div race somebody knows what they are doing , and the donuts coffee were great in the morning and free. The Div 3 crew did a great Job with the track all weekend . The fact that they used gold dust and VHT really made a difference . Hats off to Redman , Travis , the starter and everyone else who did such a great Job In my opinion NHRA and the rest of the track operators , Division director's should go to a seminar put on by the Badder family and the Div 3 director and personal as they could teach them how to fill the stands , take care of the track and keep the fans & racers happy and wanting to spend their money with them And you cant forget the $1 pound of ice cream

It was an all over first class event! Many tracks could take a lesson or two from how this is run. And then we all would win....

The amazing thing to me is that although these tracks have been doing this for a long time and don't appear to be keeping anything secret, other track operators seem to ignore the things they do. I suspect that this level of racer/customer service might take more money than the norm, and the other tracks aren't able or willing to take the step. Otherwise, I'd have to believe that the other operators didn't care if they made money and that doesn't make sense either. I've sat in so many towers listening to management gripe about how much they were taking it in the wallet on a points meet. Other tracks had good turnouts (throw Tri State in also) but I never heard any complaints mainly because the management wasn't IN the tower to start with - they were roaming the pits trying to make their event a good one for everyone there. It's so damn simple. Treat everyone as if you appreciate their business. The three tracks I mentioned don't have to act since I believe they genuinely do. Give the customer everything you can to make the race a good one for them and then go above and beyond just because. Why is this such a rare thing? |

Over the years everyone can probably remember who were the best local track operators. They finally retired (or died off) and sold the track to someone who did not have a clue on how to run a dragstrip. The new owner is usually only in it for a quick buck. Lucky for us there are still owners like the Bader's who really know how to put on a drag race. |

Happily this is our home track and in our back yard. Great place to test on the weekends, track is typically pretty good even on a friday nite T&T. The Baders game plan seems to work well for them, give someone free admission and maybe they'll spend a few bucks with you....what a concept! It's worked for the last few years and I believe it will continue to work. The stands Sat. nite where pretty much full, and it was nice to be part of the "SHOW". When is the last time you saw anyone in the stands at a divisional race? Of course you need to have the required staff and amenities to service the fans, maybe that's where the rest of the tracks are lacking. Joe OH yeah free coffee and donuts don't hurt either.

It was a great race . I would like to have all the money made on just the flashing lights . If you have alot of people at your race track ,they will buy anything for their children . Bill and Billy are the best .
