WORLD OF OUTLAW UPDATE

Being the owner and track promoter of Brushcreek Motorsports Complex I feel that the World of Outlaws Late Model series featuring their top 12 drivers is a great thing, and is going to be an even greater thing in the future. However, maybe it could be a little better.

There have been so many rumors of why the WOO series isn’t coming to Brushcreek, I decided our fans should hear the real story. As soon as I heard about the 12 drivers and the WOO series, we got busy trying to schedule a date Brushcreek Motorsports Complex. What a great show that would be on the high banks of BMC. My first intentions were to schedule them for Saturday of the Labor Day weekend. PRP had wanted to schedule them for Sunday of the same weekend. As I was getting everything set we were advised by the World of Outlaws to meet in Florida at the Promoters Work Shop to sign the contract, but I couldn’t get anyone to let us sign.

The next day I was informed that a track would need three tentative dates to schedule from if September 4th was one of those dates. The WOO promoters were sure I would understand since our original date was sold. They could give us June 5th, this would be the week before the Dream in Eldora. I was very disappointed but knowing that we are the smaller fish trying to get the big fish to the "Creek" I wanted to do everything in my power to schedule a date. I said we would take the June 5th date, but must check other tracks schedules. After leaving Florida I called PRP and found that they are running the MACS on June 5th, not wanting to compete with PRP for race fans, I would try the next date of June 19th, but it was too much tow time and work for the World of Outlaws late model series to come to Brushcreek Motorsports Complex that weekend.

I have called the WOO promoters almost every day, and I would be safe to say Bobby Jackson, Director of Company is tired of my calls. Needless to say, I am very disappointed not to have the WOO series at BMC this year. However, I won’t give up, and with any luck the World of Outlaws "Dirty Dozen" will be racing at Brushcreek in 2005.

So, that’s the whole story. It’s not because of the sanction group, it’s not the tire rule, and it’s not because of the TV dates. I want the "Dirty Dozen" and I know the fans want them too. However, we are looking forward to the PRP World of Outlaw show. See you there!

Thomas Partin,

Owner and Track Promoter

Very well spoken, and I commend you for your concern and cooperation of other tracks planned shows. There are not too many promoters that take these things into consideration when scheduling events. But, that is also why some tracks such as yours and PRP are very successful week in and week out. Drivers and fans know when they come to these facilities, that they will be treated to a great show and the drivers know that they will be paid the money that is posted and the purse is not based on car counts. You have much respect Mr. Partin, and I hope to visit your facility this year to compete in the limited late model class. Thanks again, Steve #83

I would think that Steve's remarks would've deserved some type of thank you or appreciative comment. Being that there were only 10 limited late models at Brushcreek Saturday night, you would think they would encourage those who haven't raced there to visit their track.

Thanks for the good comments Steve. I know that Tom Partin did every thing he could to get the WoO at the Creek this year, but it just didn't work out. Hopefully we will see them on the Creek's high banks in 2005.

Hope to see you at Brushcreek soon.
