Well, you seem to have forgotten a track in Austin, Wichita Falls, Odessa, TMS, a few layouts at TWS, etc etc etc not to mention the 3-4 tracks Oklahoma had.
Sorry Bro, not one of those tracks ever ran a Pro Late Model

There is zero doubt in my mind about finding 50 grand in sponsorship in Houston. If you cant do that, you probably dont need to be racing.
Your business model is the reason it is broke now. 50% Commission is over the top. You should use that 50% as sponsor activation instead of beer money. Too many people raise sponsorship money and blow it.....

Really? When did they have 9 tracks with 50+ pro late models? Never, that is when. The track is doing what is can but there is just very little interest here in Texas. In the past 25 years or so, There was a 3 or 4 year window where Texas had 4 asphalt tracks running. Kyle, San Antonio, Houston and Corpus Christi, for the Late Models. Everyone has there own reasons why it all went away, but the best days were when the rental guys were throwing money around renting cars and sponsoring tracks. Other parts of the Southeast are booming with Late Models with lots of rental rides. Here in Texas, we cant even get guys who want to buy tires. LOL

It is not always just the rental kids. We need them, they bring the cash man. I wish we had more of them around with money. When we had a bunch of them, we had a nice Pro-Late model class. That is the class people come out to see. With all of the money in Oil City USA (Houston), it boggles my mind why we cant het 15 to 20 Late Models. The fans and sponsorship will follow. I dont see a major sponsor jumping on board for the current race card

At that point of the picture, noone lifted, they were a 9 iron away from the finish line. That was cool to watch. Just glad noone got hurt

Texas Motor Speedway is baaacccckkkkk. 3 Awesome races this weekend. That Xfinity race was about as close as you will ever get. I was sure pulling for the underdog Sieg.
Mr Chase Elliott told Dennis "Pass me outside, how bout that". Then Mr Hamlin lost it on the outside. Good for him

But either way, I know about 20 teams that would love to hire you for all these partners that "There should be no problem raising 10 or 15 grand a race". I'll give you a 50% commission, and put you in touch with 25 teams. With 11 races, this should be the easiest $1.3MM you've ever made
There you go, not willing to put in the work? I dont need a job, It is not my hobby that I am trying to support. Been there, done that If you cant sell, you cant race. EOS

"""Or maybe the issue is costs are out of control and the ROI on fun for circle track""""
The ROI is only limited to the marketing ability of driver/owner. If you cant sell, you cant race. There should be no problem raising 10 or 15 grand a race with marketing partners in Houston. Noone is entitled to race, you have to earn it. The only classes left at HMP are the tea cup classes. And you think the expenses are out of control there? LOL The person who loses the jump rope contest always accuses the winner of cheating or that it costs too much to play jump rope and they cant practice. Sound Familiar?

Who would have thought a year ago Legends and Legacies would outnumber every other class combined.
Wild.
(Not counting karts)
*maybe there was some merit to all those conversations about cost cutting to make the full size classes more sustainable*I have witnessed the cost cutting statement for 30 plus years. It never changes. People change. It has always been expensive to race and always will be. There are areas in the country that Super/Pro Late model classes are booming. Look at the Cars tour. Booming man. What we are missing here in Texas are enough people willing to spend the money or go get the money to do it. People would rather spend their time and efforts trying to be an influencer on Tic Toc now that building a race car or chasing sponsors. There is no shortage of money in Houston, just a shortage of willing people. Nothing wrong with that either.

Nascar Viewership has been over 4 million in each race this year. As Bob Pockrass would say, things are booming.

Nascar took the risk on this business many years ago. Now everyone wants a part of the fruits of their labor. Typical liberals. Let em start their own series. Remember the USFL?

It has been that way for many many years, at least the stage racing helps the action some. It brings strategy into play. There are always the whiners and complainers, so who cares what bubbles has to say
-
Great finish, there are three different people who go the blame on that finish, but it was 3 guys going for the win. Hard to blame anyone, that is what we are looking for in a finish.

With that purse larger that the Indy 500, I sure hope a smaller team wins it. It will make me sick is Henrdrick, Penske, Gibbs or 23X11 wins it. The Winners Share is expected to be between $2.5 to $3 million. But heck, even last place pays nicely
-
$28,000,000 purse for the Daytona 500. What a great job man

By the way, they can get rid of the dirt from Bristol, what a gimmick that was, dirt racing at Bristol. Take that spring race away from Bristol and lets go to the Nashville Fairgrounds. I hope they finally get approval.
-
I let Nascar know that it is ok with me to get the clash out of there. As a matter of fact, no need in the clash any longer. Those days are over. I wish that they would put the money into a different short track around the country each year and run it there. Just think what we could do with a million bucks plus or so at a place like San Antonio Speedway or freshening up HMP. Maybe Five Flags could get a face lift and Mobile could actually get restrooms.
-
Pro Late Model and Super Late Model racing is booming everywhere. I sure wish that we could get some of that down here in Texas.

Now we have to buy another subscription to watch the ASA tour. Floracing, Racing America, Race On Texas, now Tracktv. No need to ever go see another race. Stay at home at watch 4 at a time

The Rental kids are helping Pops make the money, not working on race cars, so they can come out and race nice looking Late Models and bring their girlfriends in skimpy shorts. We need more of them.
