4/28/25 Message from the Promoter

4/29/2025

Stepping into the role of a racing series promoter for the first time has been one heck of a ride, and it’s shown me firsthand what so many other promoters have warned me about. There’s this common belief floating around that promoters, directors of competition, track owners, and so on are all raking in piles of money for putting on races.
