Thank you me88. We worked very hard behind the scenes with Tim and Russ to put on the best derby possible. We hated to see the derby move to a new venue but fully understand why. We have had a spring derby at the Fayette County Fairgrounds for many years and plan to have them in the future. Sometimes it takes a while to build up a successful event. We will continue working hard to have the best events possible. We thank all the drivers and fans that supported the derby when it was held at the Fayette County Fairgrounds and hope to see them in the future for any events that we may have. And the best you could come up with is NationBlind? You were doomed from the beginning with that decision.

Thanks 39X. Any suggestions on a promoter? You guys should try to get the bash back. Maybe even pay Smashit to bring it to the grounds. The bash is definitely the show everyone must see. I drove thru McDonald's in Courthouse on my way home and what a difference not having the bash makes. Drive thru was empty.

Jeremy knows how to put together a great derby. If he runs it, I'll be there every year. Just try to space it out from bash though because not many people want to make the trip 2 in a week. I'm from sandusky, it's only a 3 hour trip, but It's still 3 hours lol

Okay. We can schedule the derby when the promoter thinks is the best time. We've had derbies in the spring, summer and fall over the years. Makes no difference to us when it is scheduled. We just enjoyed having the Bash at our venue and would like to have that kind of experience again.

Keep us updated lol. I do like courthouse better that Chillicothe lol. And like these guys are saying make it earlier or later than the bash. I would do it later so leftover bash cars could come down.

Yeah, courthouse is a lot better of a setup. Needs some more stands but that's every derby.

Yeah we realize that we need more seating, especially in the infield. The old grandstands are pretty far from the action so we would like to get more seating closer to the action which would be in the infield. Grandstands are pretty expensive so that's why we rented the ones on the track in previous years. In due time we hope to replace the small bleachers with a nice set of grandstands. Also, we are looking at possibly building restrooms next to the old grandstands. It all takes a lot of money but we intend to keep improving the grounds each year. Once again we appreciate all of your input.
