The rumours are out and flying, and if they are true, the Speedway could be in trouble.
The big talk behind the scene's is the Cayuga Show with NASCAR and the OSS will move to Delaware, although I think this is a hard one to believe as Cayuga would have had to pay for the NASCAR event up front, and I dont think NASCAR gives out Rain Checks.
I do know as fact:
The Late Model show that was cancelled was due to poor car count that pre registered (4 cars)
The True Value Sprint Car show was a poor fan count ( due to the lack of advertising)
The OSS that was cancelled was to be held in conjunction with a Rock Band deal and the Town would not issue the permit.
Cayuga Speedway is a landmark when it comes to race tracks in Canada, but for some reason it has been cursed ever since Bob Slack sold it. Bob's deal made him famous because he could put on a Special Show and fill the place, as well, run a weekly Friday night show that had more people in the stands then any other current owner has been able to sell for any event, except for the CASCAR show that hired on a handful of Cup Star's.
This is a last chance oppertunity for Cayuga, and mayby they need to offer the ticket prices at a discount rate of $25.00 per head in order to fill the place. I think putting people in the stands at a discount price is there only chance on rebuilding the reputation and I am sure anyone who bought the season pass will be really upset, but what else can they do. If the place fills up on this format, the Speedway should give anyone that bought the Year Pass 50% off of all ticket prices for next year.
If they dont take this chance to fix it, there might not be a next year !!
I will do anything I can to save the track, and I woulkd hope the real race fans will follow suit as it is a legend in Canadian Motorsports.
