How do you pay Big Blocks $4000 and LM $2500? The LM's have become the premier class and should have at least the same payout. What does everyone talk about on here... it sure isn't Big Blocks. I see BB drivers starting to flock to LM cars now, it's where the money and prestige is (except for DIS) and the BB dinosaurs are fading away. I think he needs to take a look at the success Georgetown is having and the crowds the LM cars are pulling. The BB have already lost Jarvis, Simpson, Elliott (I think), Oneal, and rumors flying about Norman Short and Millman. McCreadie, Coffey, and Danny Johnson have all tried their hand at LM and more are looking. Does anyone honestly believe LM doesn't deserve the same pay as BB?

YEAH, I THOUGHT THE 500.00 INCREASE ON TOP WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT YEAH THE SLMS DEFINTELY SHOULD GET THE SAME AS BB MODS...... IF NOT MORE.... THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH THE RACE THIS WEEKEND IS THAT THE ROCK IS GOING UP AGAINST CHARLIE AGAIN THANKS TO THE RAINOUT AND A SORRY A$$ NAMED JONES... WHOEVER DOES SHOW UP AND HAS A GOOD SHOT AT TAKING THE WIN SHOULD TAKE THE GAMBLERS FEE @100.00 WIN THE $4500.00 PLUS LAP MONEY AND GO ON ABOUT THEIR MERRY WAY ..... COULD STILL BE A NICE PAYDAY FOR MOST LIKELY THE MAN WHO STARTS ON THE POLE?  ??...........ROB |

What is "pregnant dogING"? And nobody said the racing wasn't good or they didn't like the track. They just said the Late Models should be paid the same as the big blocks.

Yeah I have to agree the payout for the Late Models at the champ show sucks. Us folks with the late models spend just as much or more than the Modifieds. Should diffinately be the same.

I think $45 is a little outrageous, I don't think it cost that much to see the Dream at $100,000 to win. Cathell has made and continues to make a killing, if Georgetown can pay what they pay(while leasing the track) and make a profit that says where his priorities are at $$$$$. The first chance he gets he will sell the track and the hell with the fans, drivers, etc.. I am not gonna sit here and praise him just to keep the track open, if he wants to close it we aren't gonna stop him. I will just go to Georgetown and plan more trips to big races. I haven't missed a race until the last year or two. I get tried of the lap stealing, low paying, if you don't like it take your car and leave attitude he has had for years. Doesn't anyone else get sick of seeing a pass for the lead, caution, then go back a lap ( leader goes back to second) but he still counts that lap and another when they take green? He has one of the best tracks and facilities around but shows little gratitude for the racers and fans who have supported him over the years. If he cared about racing he would sell to another promoter not the highest bidder. I think his car counts and fans will continue to drop because he has made his bed.

What I have heard is next year is the last year Delmar will be open, and these's no guarantee that Georgetown will open again at all. Where does that leave us fans? Really saddens me, because I, like many others, look forward to Fridays and Saturdays. I have seen it happen before too. Oh well, I'll still be there and have fun this weekend anyway. Sorry, just had to put my 2 cents worth in.

The Late Models have definitely grown in the last several years, and it would be nice if the pay was the same for them. BB & LM are the two main classes most watch. I said most, okay, me I watch all.

I think it is unreasonable for anyone to expect charlie to p/u the few extra guys that georgetown gets on fridays regardless of what he pays.Those that do come have regular sat night tracks and sponsors,they are not going to cme down here each weekend,come on guys.Also ther is a lot of expense to operate tracks insurances,purses,paying help,eletric bills you have to operate a track at what it is abusiness not a hobby as most which most racers are doing.They are doing it for fun with a few doing it for a living.

My previous reply was regarding saturday night races.I agree that the lm's should get paid more infact they should run all the other classes on saturday and leave sunday for lm and bb qualifying and races in case anyone does make up races like the latemodels do this weekend the 3rd and 4th.

Late Models are not the premier class around here. We are too far north for that to happen. BB and SB will be the reason that people come and watch the follow the leader fest this weekend, not late models. We are too far to the north for people to flock to Delmar for the late models.

CHASE22 DOES HAVE A GOOD POINT ALSO ABOUT THE SUNDAY RACES BUT CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING ARE SLIM 2 NONE...WHAT GETS ME IS HE WONT MESS WITH THE TRACK ON CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND BUT IS ON THE GRADER AND READY TO GO BEFORE THE HEAT RACES ARE OVER ON ANY GIVEN SAT. NIGHT!!!!!!I WOULDNT MIND IF HE DUG THE TRACK UP AFTER EACH BB MOD AND LATE MODEL 50 LAPPER JUST TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE AN EXCITING RACE OR FOLLOW THE LEADER RACE THAT WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO.........ROB

I dont knoe what truth is talking about on the prices, Yes a two day pit passs is $45.00 and a two day Gen admission is $35.00. The same as Georgetown was. How is this outrageous. Georgetown allegedly lost money on their two day show so how is Cathell getting rich. About the regular payoff , if you add Cathells big block and late model purse together they about equal Georgetowns. They (Georgetown) supposedly barely broke even on their Friday night shows with the size of the crowds they had so I ask again how is Cathell gettig rich. Remember that track has to support four families. I will be the first to agree Charlie could use a personality transplant, but the fact is he has given us a place to race for many years and it is by far the nicest facility in the area. As far as him selling the track , he is getting up in age and I think that if I owned it and someone would pay me fifteen million I would sell it to. I too think that the payoff gor late modes should equal that of big blocks, but that is a decision that he makes. afterall he does own the track. Just give the man a break, it beats not having anywhere to race.

I don't think this is MOD country anymore, north or not the LM's are takin over and the money and prestige are in LM. I think the LM at Georgetown and lapping the Mods in mixed race are opening some eyes. I also think people watching Elliott in a LM have turned a few people on to LM. I know alot of guys from Milford are Mod oriented, but the take over has already begun. It wasn't many years ago when no one gave LM's a second look and now you are losing alot of drivers locally and nationally to LM's. I know on here LM's are the main topic. I also notice alot of the young guys coming up are heading towards LM: Callaway, Robinson, Hubbard, Jarvis, Mark PJ, Lingo etc.. I don't know many young guys coming up in Mod, maybe Wilkins(who is interested in LM ride) and Jester. I don't think we are too far north as LM are very strong in PA. I know one thing if Georgetown lost money this year we all better sell every car we have because racing is over in DE. Why should we thank Cathell for making him money? The crews and drivers work all week, the owner spends major $$$, they put on the show (and pay to get in to race) and we should thank him for a place to race? If your Boss paid a guy doing the same job as you almost 50% more would you thank him for it? If you saw the stands at Georgetown and say that people choose BB over LM your nuts!

MYSELF INCLUDED...UNTIL THAT DAY COMES GET OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TRACK IT MIGHT NOT BE THERE MUCH LONGER...........ROB

I don't think we are just modified country as you say for being too north.
If you curse the letters are changed to different words, hope that answers any questions of the pregnant dogs?
