Nice! Reminds me of WG..minus most of the boot. Synthetic dirt...hmm..never heard that terminology before. Here's hoping it happens!!

Now there's a claim -- synthetic dirt will triple the amount of women (15% to 45%) in attendance. I think they need to take a hard look at themselves if they are not selling tickets and ask, "is it really the dirt?"

Bert..you ever been to a dirt track event?

....
Another thing I would be concerned about is flammability of this "synthetic" dirt. They say it is paraffin..candle fuel..and they spread hundreds of thousands of gallons of liquid wax on the track surface,which is absorbed by the dirt. If a car should catch fire..will the track ignite as well..?

Maybe we could talk Glenn into being a COM member? What better than 2 COM tracks?

It's not going to work out. The grandstands only have seating for 10,000 - not nearly enough for my fans, let alone Sam's umbrella girls!
