re: Slim Chickens Is Now A Sponsor For Mark Martins Race For Hope 74

If Mooney has a big show he goes to the bank and takes out a loan for the purse money.

Last year at the topless it rained about an hour before hot laps. Everybody sits in their cars waiting to see what is going to happen. Track announces they are going to run but it will take a while to get started. Everybody shells out the $25 a head to get in and once Mooneybgets word that the concession stand has sold the food they made he cancels for the night. He doesn’t get hosed in the concessions and gets the gate money plus whatever he makes the next day.

I don’t know if you have ever heard of the Altell 100 but it was a big 100k to win modified show. IIRC there were like 400 modifiers preentered the show. I don’t know it as gospel truth but word around some shops was Jeff Floyd (Mooney’s relative) got short changed on his 20k second place money.

Love the racetrack up there, nothing better than hearing the echo in the valley, but I walked away from there after last year.
