Way back in 2010 we had a BOP race at Gainesville Raceway and the turnout was pretty good. Don't remember the total # of cars but I would estimate around 60-70 which for our neck of the woods is a solid turnout. I was expecting to see the same race the following year but it didn't materialize. I know it takes publicity and a lot of hard work on somebodies part to make it happen but it seems that so often these events start strong and then fizzle out. Sure do enjoy these specialty races as opposed to the traditional bracket race.
