The Seneca race was a huge success but it failed because of the uphill battle the lady from the chamber of commerce there had to fight to make the race happen. I wish I could remember her name but she indicated she didn't have the energy to do it again. This was aperson who to my knowledge had never been invoved in an event of this type but made it happen. So it seems even success and hard work is not a guarantee for longevity any more. A very few people can still dictate what happens in a community. I talked to Galen Burden last week and he said the Plymouth race was going to be much like Seneca and the entire area around the race site for miles was pitching in. HMMMM, I wonder if the good people of Daytona were all for "Big Bill" building the Speedway back in 1958? Sometimes you can show them better than you can tell them.

The lady's name was Cindy Swafford.;) I was unable to attend but from what I heard from my guys it was GREAT! Super event - great water - good turnout - . . . hope to have another event there in the future.

I am as as much of a race fan as there has ever been.
Most buisnesses (mom and pop shops especially) don't want to get involved. For some reason they seam to shy away from the racing events. I have a hell of a time getting buisnesses to donate for the rallys that I put on down here on Lake Murray & I give all profits to the shriners.
