You can't say that they didn't try something different to make it better. Rick Kuhl was a guest speaker at the Flemington Speedway Historical Society and he explained that the track wasn't turning a profit on dirt. They were getting a bunch of complaints about the noise and the dust. Car counts and crowds were down too. He thought that if they could get the truck series, the Super Modifieds and DA Cars along with the Pancake Mods there and the fans go home clean that maybe they could turn it around. With the dispute going on down at Wall Twp. they were the lucky recipients of drivers like Ray Evernham, Tony Siscone, Lenny Boyd along with the regulars like Pauch , Brenn, Gulick, Fusco and a bunch of others. What they didn't plan on were the speeds at which they turned. The cleanup of the styrofoam blocks was a pain in the neck too. I think the crews liked not having to clean off mud when they got home before they even started working on their cars.

I've always said that when track manager John Schier  died, he took the secret of keeping the dust to a minimal to his grave.

All good things come to an end. We just have to support the tracks that we have left or we will have another Flemington on our hands.
