Nascar racing was ruined with too many regulations. There almost the same cars. Its all luck of the draw. But actually i think nascar racing is rigged. Its too easy to rig it. Racers can back off a tad and let people through too easy now. They need to keep the regulations out to keep up the competitiveness.
Something that I've always thought would be cool is to cover the Freedom Factory with dirt for a year and host dirt races, similar to what Bristol did. Maybe host a World of Outlaws or Lucas Oil race there, perhaps the Hunt the Front series? All I'm gonna say is it'd be cool as all get out to see a winged sprint car or super late model turn laps on the high banks of the Freedom Factory. 🤷
I went to a couple freedom 500’s Wish there would have been more interaction with the celebrity drivers. Ya’ll barely even announced their names before the race.
Love the content at the track at Indy, just remember Friday is hard to get off for families with kids (Indy area has lots of families that are dual income w/children), we can’t come on Friday. Put the shows in venues like Indy for Sat/Sun, load them up like you’ve been doing but lower the expectations for a weekdays.
The events are awesome. I've been to Indy for a Cleetus and cars. I literally had to see a Dr after the vargas brothers hit their two step in a tiny rotary pick-up while driving by me in the area behind the stands of the drag way. My son loved it. Now I'm trying to get my daughter into it. All she seems to wanna see is Hailey Deegan and Lia Block. I would love to bring to an event. I have to choose wisely which try to attend, I am in northern Michigan and not many are close.
I have followed you for a long time, I just find no interest in watching asphalt circle track racing, at slow speed. Also, I prefer not to watch most of the RU-vidrs in it
I wish I could come to some of your events! But nothing is really close to NC beside Bristol! Which I love the track that’s still a 3-4 hour drive away and I’m 15 miles from the VA state line. And this would be about the same drive but the Old Rockingham Speedway and I may just not know but I wish you would buy it and bring events to NC! You know all of us from VA, Tennessee, NC, SC and Georgia Love Racing Of Any Kind! Hell it was Born In These States! The GOAT DALE SR.’s Shop isn’t but maybe 2 hours away from me! I think it’s a lot to do with the Generations of the people and what they have grown up with and around! Where I’m from about 75% of the men in their 30s and older have been around a race car or work on one or hung around a shop and helped build a Dirt Track Car! I could go on my front porch as a kid and listen to 311 Speedway and hear the cars ripping around the track and that was the best thing as a kid! Until I got to go to the track and then I was hooked!!! You have to have something to bring in every generation and age and different ways people can see something different that makes them say I can’t wait for the next event to come around because I will be there 100%!! I don’t know what that is and I wish I did! Because I’d be doing something to make it happen!! I hope the best for you all and every event you have is a Blow Out!!!
Cleetus what about getting some freestyle motocross guys to do some jumps, maybe Pastrana can set you up with some nitro circus riders or monster energy
Please consider one other facet. Track food often SUCKS and it's blindigly expensive for the amount/quality you get. Up the food game and people will repeat.
Never stop trying new stuff to keep it fresh and fun for your fans. I worked at IHRA under Bill Bader Sr. (I was IHRA web guy) in the mid 2000's and he was always looking for the next promotion, hook, or sideshow act to make the fans happy and sell more tickets and grow racing. We even created some new series that were great (Thunder Jam, Street Warriorz) before the company was sold. You do remind me of ole Bill Bader and Aaron Polburn and your are getting younger fans into cars and racing.
let me tell you about how I knew NOE of this and ALREADY spent close to $600 in camping and GA tickets. id like to see the Indy 800 but nobody can get Friday off🤣
The reason I’m doing my own thing is breaking paradigms ✅ If it’s broke is great for the creator but innovation is the key to workflow actualization 🎉 In any industry adapt or die. No big money is focused on gas powered anything bc of cracked out fake global gas regulations but we can unite and nurture space for all to exist freely ❤
Would love to be able to afford to come to live events and be there to smell the smoke and fuel burning , but just cant afford the cost today . I would love to be in the freedom 500 one day , just a 62yr old male loving what you do , living life to the fullest and having FUN, you just need to be really careful , your to young to end up dead , love what you do , you always make smile and laugh out loud with your shenanigans
Problem is fans want more interaction in the events. And insurance won't allow that to happen cause too many sue happy idiots. I just enjoy the street racing, I can go actually compete there haha.
Just take a look at how Santa pod does it over here in the UK. A packed Live action arena that runs alongside the 1/4 mile every event from stunt drivers to drift fireworks teams and monster trucks every event
I will go to Indy I particular year after year specifically because of how close you are to the burnout pad it’s unreal but watching the stream from the freedom 500 it was definitely insane and would give me 10x the reason to go
When running a business or organization the moment you stop innovating or trying new things and instead stagnate and do the same old thing over and over again you’re at best going to never grow and at worst slowly die off. Keep on it man, try new things grow that empire!
People watch you for one reason only. To see what kind of stupid shit you are going to do and how much destruction you can create. That business model has one of two ways to go and both end up with someone getting seriously hurt or killed before you lose your empire and it all just goes away.. No offence but you have become an internet clown hosting a new kind of circus. it has absently dick to do with racing at this point.
To compete with the ease and quality of the new digital era, IRL (in real life) events must be kicking on all cylinders and engage and activate participants on so many levels. I get it. Putting on events is a crazy biz to be in these days, but that is half the fun of it. Wish I could make it out to one of your events at some point. Thanks to you and the team for the great content.
