Not pot stirring, just a thought  

I talk regularly with a few hardcore lifelong race fans and I have brought up many times that the announcers should include making mention of asking the fans for help  bringing in new fans or any fans for that matter. to shows a few times a nite.  The writing is on the wall for the sport at this point.  The attendance in the pits and grandstands could be alot better and keep it alive alot longer.  Ok now something all the fans, competitors and promoters have talked about but no one seems to want to consider..  One of the 2 NJ dirt tracks running Fri nites. I, know I know.................. its gonna ruffle some feathers but hear me out before I get bombarded with hate responses and dislikes on here.  The one track that can't do it is Bridgeport.  295 is messy enough on the weekends and on the midweek shows would be a literal nitemare and it would not work there for that reason alone.  When B-port has midweek shows I take the turn pike ( probably 10 miles longer)  but far less stressful and more time savings. That only leaves the other dirt track left.  I don't need to mention East Windsor did it very successfully for decades.  They ran 3 divisions  Mods Spts and SS.  Shows ran fairly quick there and the fields of cars were better than we see now.   One of the better reasons for considering Friday is a Saturday makeup date couold be built in as well.  When you get a season like this one where almost half the schedule was weathered out, you will increase the chances of that not happening by 50%.  Its gotta be a nitemare for track owners to send back race nite sponsor money, wristband refunds and paying employees for shows that weathered on nites the gates get opened.  3 tracks remain in NJ  all run on Saturday. The majority of us race fans attend at least 2 and some of us all 3 at one time or more during a season.  There is a finite number of race fan teams and sponsors available.  The pie is the same size............3 slices. 2/3 being dirt.  You can share 2/3 which has been the status quo since Windsor closed or you can utilize the entire 2/3 by moving it a day and have the insurance policy for the extra day should Friday weather out. I for one would attend both nites at both tracks numerous times a season. I know I'm gonna hear comments about fans and teams work weeks and thats legitimate for sure.  Windsor did it  and Big Diamond is doing with better crowds than both the NJ tracks are getting every Friday and they also pay the most for a regular show.  Please don't shoot the messenger.  I made my case I won't argue with anybody.  Race fans, teams and owners  wanna  watch and attend  and put on shows.  No one can do this for too many more years if there is no profit or breaking even.  Off the soapbox now. I am interested in the how the thumbs up and thumbs down turns out though
