Letter: IRL needs good ink

Did you ever think that the reason the IRL race is not a big draw is becauce of all the negative press the IRL gets in Las Vegas? If you want your town's race to become an "event," it might be wise to give your readers a reason to want to go to the race.

So far all I have read about this year's race is that the IRL is renting the track and that only 2,000 tickets have been sold. The fact that so many of LVMS' customers are from out of town should be a bit of a wakeup call that someone in Las Vegas is not doing something right.
