Wall PAPER$................
Not enough cars, sponsors, or respect for enduros..............:mad:
Wall treats their F/S drivers poorly so what do you expect is gonna happen
when NEETS runs at Wall...............
The only thing that motivates Mr. Morton is money, so gotta find a big sponsor for Wall.................:eek:
UNCLE PETEY...............:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:
Could this be the REAL reason....

Well, I think this thread tells the TRUE story ..... there has been 869 views of this thread, the highest viewed thread in the asphalt forum. BUT... there has only been a few people who have voiced suggestions, views or ideas on how to get NEETS back to Wall..... the silence and lack of responses from those involved is very concerning..........
This might be the MAIN reason why the series didn't take off at Wall. If the drivers and fans aren't interested in supporting the series and have it return to Wall, why would there be any incentive for the promoters to make it work.
If the drivers and fans don't want to help bring the series back, offer suggestions and put their heads together to try and find a solution and make it bigger and better, than I don't blame Jim for flushing it.........
Enduro Economics..................
We have to find a sponsor that will compliment the NEETS organization.........................:applause:
The interest in enduro racing is still very high in the NE area but expendable money for a car and its upkeep especially for safety regulations in NJ is getting a little lean.........................:eek::eek:
I wouldn't worry about another enduro race at Wall, if NEETS can't make a workable agreement with Jim, knowing him, he'll try to start his own series...........:help:

Uncle Petey, I know you've "been around the track" for many years with the enduro series, but is there a possibility that enduro racing has lost it's popularity????? I'm new, so I can only go by what I've seen in the last year or so.... Sponsors definitely help the series, but which sponsors is going to step up when they see the car counts so low????? They also want a return on their investment, but with total car counts for an event only being in the 40's, (not in the 100's like old days), what company will pony up the dollars????
Interest in enduro is very high you say...... I'm not sure about that.... not from what I'm seeing in this area...... for instance, there has been approximately 70 more views of this thread since my note above, but Petey was the only one to comment...... no one else has any suggestions, input (or interest) on how to get NEETS back to Wall...... that's very telling on the state of enduro racing...... and I still don't believe it's because of NJ rules...
Also, regarding enduro interest in the NE region..... Sundance only had 15 small cars and 22 big cars on Saturday - last year for the same race they had 33 small cars and close to 40 big cars for the same event.... why the difference????? The cars are still sitting out there but didn't show up!!! Could have been the weather or could be the economy... or could have been lack of interest..... or all of the above......take your best guess!!!
I agree with your take on Jim, it's all about the money (which I can't totally fault him because he has bills to pay too), but if he doesn't want to be "user friendly" to the drivers, he won't have a show..... he needs to wake up to this fact. Dollars are nice but without a field of cars/drivers showing up because of greed, the track just might sprout weeds in the groove.....
Has any group of drivers ever approached Jim to show a collective group effort to persuade him on what's best for the drivers?????
What are the dollars?????

OK, based on your experience, what kind of money would a big sponsor need to spend to attract the car counts needed???
What do you consider a "nice large purse"??
A True "Grand" Enduro.....
At least $1000 to win and a user friendly promoter/track.................:cool:
