Josh Holt of Webster, South Dakota has played a vital role in the continued development and production of the RPM Workshops, a true "RPM Believer" will play a major role "Where is all Begins" when we gather at the Silver Legacy for the 51st Annual RPM@Reno Western Workshops.
SCHEDULE SET FOR RPM@RENO WESTERN WORKSHOPS - "Where it all Begins..." the 51st Annual RPM@Reno Western Workshops
Putting together the Workshops is quite an undertaking. We have to take the temperature of the industry, arrange for discussions on relevant topics and attempt to assemble the best program possible for all in attendance. From the outside looking in, it may appear easy, however it is far from it.
One of the most relevant topics that has come out recently is the ability to work with one another. The landscape of the business is always changing, but we - as the major stakeholders in all of our businesses - do very little to work together and benefit one another.
It's evident, even more so if you are in the trenches, so as I looked near and far to find someone who seemed to have the capability to pull us all together and make us stronger, I realized there was one person who had this capability and that young man is Josh Holt. Holt is from Webster, South Dakota, currently residing in Sioux Falls, South Dakota after studying at South Dakota State University and he turns 40 in January. He's a bright light in our business.
He has experienced more than any of us probably know. He's been involved in racing for more than 30-years; a retired sprint car racer, previous track and event promoter. Holt held the lease and role of promoter at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa and as the General Manager and Promoter at Park Jefferson Speedway in South Dakota, His current business is MyRacePass, that he owns with partners, Ross VanEck and Zach Calmus.
The business of MyRacePass began in 2008 with a vision of building driver's websites. Over time the vision and direction changed to what is now MyRacePass.
Holt's passion for the business is obvious, but his ability to work with everyone is what has caught the attention of many. NASCAR, IMCA, WISSOTA, USMTS, World of Outlaws, DIRTcar, Super DirtCAR, nearly 800 promoters across North America and now they are venturing into drag racing, constantly growing, working with everyone, seeing our trends, our successes and our failures.
Holt is not charged to stand before us and discuss websites or any of the products within MyRacePass, but to help us come together, "Where it all Begins" the 51st Annual RPM@Reno Western Workshops.
In our discussions we have discussed topics from "building a business from scratch" to "the numbers" to the importance of "relationship building" and how it takes all of us pulling the rope in the same direction. For the betterment of our business, that point has become imperative.
Sometimes we have looked outside of the business for guidance, however, sometimes we have to start within ourselves when it comes to reevaluating things and returning toward success. That's what we did this time and we know "Where it all Begins..." the 51st annual RPM@Reno Western Workshops, we hope to see you there.
To learn a little more about Josh and his two partners Zach and Ross, please watch this video put together by the PRI Road Tour just a couple of years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2yG67EdGhQ

Ken Squier taking in the action at Thunder Road, his home, his track until 2017. Squier recently passed after a battle with illness.
Kenley Dean Squier
I didn't know Ken Squier that well. I saw him, we shook hands and we passed each other many times running in the same groups of folks that people in this business often do. I did look up to him though, as we all should. If it weren't for his efforts, our sport may not be so mainstream these days.
Ken Squier was a publicist, a promoter and someone with a great vision. He and Billy France, Jr., founded the Motor Racing Network (MRN Radio). He saw things on a grand stage in a grand manner. Squier through his channels at NASCAR was for the most responsible for getting "flag-to-flag" coverage of the Daytona 500, which began in 1979 and we all know how that worked out.
"It was a tough sell," Squier noted in regard to the telecast of the Daytona 500. "There was a general feeling that this was more of a novelty thing and that it wouldn't work on a national level."
Squier opened Thunder Road in 1960, "the Nation's Site of Excitement..." and he was partners with 5 others that opened Catamount Stadium in Milton, Vermont. Catamount was open from 1965 until 1987 when it became the grounds for an industrial park. Thunder Road, sold in 2017 remains operated by Chris Michaud, who owns several facilities, leases and the ACT (American Canadian Tour) for Late Models that Squier was influential in developing with Tom Curley.
Squier understood the importance of short track racing. When he was live on television, it was never far from his references. He was always promoting it.
Uniquely, Squier was another great link to Stock Car Racing and more importantly short track racing's grand past.
Folks like Squier are guys that come along once in a lifetime. They really are a national treasure, especially to our sport. Squier will be missed greatly.

** Secrets To Create Customer Loyalty and Drive Revenue and Profits
Does your customer experience and customer engagement build customer loyalty to drive more revenue in your business? For many years, business owners and marketers have been experimenting with methods to drive customer loyalty. From redeeming tokens and stamps to collecting box tops and punch cards, loyalty programs were (and still can be) a way to move customers along the buyer’s journey and retain them. After all, it pays to have loyal fans, as they often spend more and provide free advertising as they spread the word to friends and colleagues.
But with a world of choices now at their fingertips, consumers are no longer confined to the limited selection that’s available at their neighborhood store. They can buy whatever they want, whenever they want it at a competitive price by shopping around the internet. Building genuine, lasting relationships requires a deeper connection between your business and customers: It's called "emotional loyalty".
** Today, building loyalty is about creating memorable experiences and building a base of ambassadors to share your story, not just increasing transactions.
What is "Emotional Loyalty"?
Emotional loyalty is the deep connection achieved when every touch point and communication a customer receives from your business makes them feel valued and respected. True loyalty is not just a points program or a rewards card. Though these are tactics that bring your business and your customers closer together. But genuine loyalty is an outcome—a goal you can only achieve by truly knowing your customers and carefully nurturing every relationship you have.
Establishing an emotional connection between your business and customers is the ultimate goal, as it builds lasting relationships that keep your customers engaged and coming back over and over. But achieving this level of customer love requires a strategy of activities and behaviors between your business, your staff and the customer to drive engagement at every single touchpoint.
Prioritizing customer loyalty is a worthy investment in your business. By investing in customer loyalty through deeper emotional connections, your business will stand to not only gain increased profits now, but future sales as well.
It costs up to25x more to acquire new customers than to retain existing ones.
There are three types of loyalty:
- Affinity - "I like you but I don't love you." - Customers have affinity for your business when they enjoy what theyour offer: high-quality goods or products at a great value. But liking your business doesn’t mean being loyal to it and return again.
- Attachment - "You know me well." - Attachment is less about liking your business and more about making a connection. When you and your staff make the effort to connect in meaningful and personalized ways with your customers your customers feel valued, appreciated, and confident in your company’s ability to meet their expectations.
- Trust - "Let's be friends." Trust is the secret of emotional loyalty and the main ingredient to retaining a loyal customer. When a customer feels respected, their willingness to trust increases. Customers then become eager to make referrals and give you frequent feedback on their experience. Remember that trust is earned and can easily be taken away.
Meaningful Customer Engagements:
Building true emotional loyalty with your customers requires a mix of activities and interactions between your business, staff and customers that will drive engagement at every touchpoint. The best and most thriving loyalty programs consistently follow these guidelines to build affinity, attachment, and trust among customers:
- Evaluate your present customer journey and touchpoints. Put yourself in your customer's shoes. How can their customer experience journey be improved?
- Reward your best customers - Offer special treatment to your best customers. Loyalty is a two-way street. If customers aregoing to trust your business, they better receive something in return, whether in product/monetary rewards or exclusive content/offers.
- Ask for customer feedback - When customers can connect with you and provide their feedback and opinions, they feel valued, appreciated,and respected, sparking attachment and trust. Enable your loyal customers to be vocal advocates of your business by inviting feedback and rewarding them for the referrals they give across social media.
- Personalize offers and communications - Define, manage, and target highly personalized offers online, at the register, or even in-store withcoupons, recommendations, and exclusive offers. It is valuable to make them feel important and special.
Building genuine, lasting relationships requires a deeper connection between your business and your customers. Customer loyalty is based on emotions. If you want to create loyalty for life, you need to connect emotionally with your customers. Get your entire staff and team involved. Make it a priority, fun and rewarding.

MYRACEPASS TO PRESENT THE "GREEN FLAG RECEPTION", THE CAESAR'S SLOTS TOURNAMENT AND "THE VICTORY LAP SESSION" AS PART OF THE RPM WORKSHOPS
Following the 50th Annual RPM Workshops and meetings with promoters in regard to how they see the future of the Workshops progressing, RPM and current website partner MyRacePass management agreed to grow their partnership with the introduction of several key elements that will be a part of the RPM Workshops going forward.
MyRacePass will continue to present the "Victory Lap" session at RPM@Daytona. The session which will include the introduction of the 48^th Annual Auto-Racing Promoter of the Year.
At the 51st Annual RPM@Reno Workshops MyRacePass will present the "Green Flag Reception" - Where is all begins" to kickoff the 51st Annual RPM@Reno Western Workshops, hosting the annual registration reception as well as presenting the Caesar's "slot tournament" at the Silver Legacy Resort and Casino that will conclude the first day of Workshop sessions.
“We want our constituents being the Promoters and Stewards of the sport to know that we listen to them,” stated Joe Skotnicki, Racing Promotion Monthly. “It is important to give them what they want and this was requested by them at the Workshops. We did it or the first time in Daytona and it was very well received by everyone in attendance. While it will change how we approach things, it gives us the opportunity to include different elements in the Workshops. We are thankful for our partnership with MyRacePass and their assistance in providing another step in building a stronger and more beneficial workshop atmosphere.”
MyRacePass, in just over 10-years has become one of the leaders in the motorsports industry in regard to technology and software, bringing together content and distributing it back through their network of tagged drivers, tracks, race tracks, racing series and associations. The MyRacePass has become universally recognized and accepted in regard to Event Management and Administration, Websites, Online Ticket Sales, Dropship Apparel and anything else technologically related to motorsports branding and administration. They have been present at the Workshops for many years.
“This was a natural fit for us,” stated Josh Holt, co-founder and co-owner of MyRacePass. “The RPM Workshops are part of the fabric of our business. We look forward to them and being a part of them. We are excited for this opportunity and look forward to building our relationship for many years to come.”
Mark Your Calendars - RPM Workshop Dates for 2024 and 2025
The RPM Workshops dates for next year following RPM@Daytona in 2024 will be as follows:
RPM Western Workshops will take place on December 3, 4 and 5, 2024.
RPM@Daytona will take place February 9, 10 and 11, 2025 and will likely take place at The Shores in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, provided things do not change.
Give Thanks for Your People, Tis' the Season...
We at RPM have often offered words about the importance of people.
We put our people through a lot of challenges. It can be crazy at times and uncalled for at others. It's the nature of our business and the nature of the beast if you will. There isn't much we can do to change that, but we do have one thing in our arsenal that all of us probably don't use frequently enough.
The words "Thank You" and doing something for them that shows their value. It could be anything.
We have come up with a "Friendsgiving" concept that brings us all together away from the race track, in an environment that is just relaxed and fun. It works for us.
The size of the gesture really doesn't matter, what matters is that you take care of your people. It's critical in a time when we are struggling to find help, let alone good help.
Don't forget them, give thanks to them, 'Tis the season.

Macon Speedway in Macon, Illinois for Sale
The famed bullring dirt track is up for sale in Illinois
Macon Speedway is a 1/5-mile bullring dirt track. The facility is located in Macon, Illinois and hosts races from all the major touring series.
The track was born in 1946. It was built by Wayne Webb on the site of a brick factory.
In late 2022, the Kearns family took over ownership of the facility. Since then, they have brought improvements to the facility, some of those are still underway.
The track recently hosted their season-ending event. Now, the track is on the market.
They have stated that if the track is not sold during this off-season, then they’ll continue to manage it through 2024 and beyond. The right buyer is required to lift the property.
Chris Kearns explains that health in the family is the reason the track is listed for sale;
“It is with heavy heart and unforeseen circumstances in my family’s health that I must announce the decision to put Macon Speedway up for sale,” Chris Kearns opened.
“Owning Macon Speedway has been a long time dream of mine, and turning it into an exceptional facility that would make not only my family but the also the entire Macon community proud. The plan was for my wife and I to do this venture together as a promoting team.”
“Unfortunately, her medical issues are not going to allow that to happen and, I honestly can’t and don’t want to pursue this journey without her. In the brief time we’ve been here, I am very proud of the improvements that have been made.”
“I want to emphasize that if Macon Speedway does not sell in the off season to the right person, my son Blade and I have every intention and are committed to running the Speedway in 2024 & beyond, and further enhancing its facilities.”
“Despite being in the middle of the new bathroom project, I have already been making plans for our off season improvements, which include enhancements to the concession stand and fencing. If the speedway sold tomorrow, I still have every intention to host the 2023 banquet and honor the racers who have supported Macon Speedway throughout the 2023 season.”
“I want to extend my sincerest apologies if this news disappoints anyone (might make some happy lol); it certainly was not my intention. I sure didn’t work this hard, invest this much money and have my son quit his job & move to a new state with the intent of owning Macon Speedway for 1 year. Blade has turned into a great track prep guy and an asset to Macon Speedway.”
"This is a very, very difficult decision for me, I think everyone knows that I bought Macon Speedway because I love this track. In the year I have been here, I have learned things that have made me love it more.”
“I knew this race track was special and unique, I honestly didn’t realize that it’s actually one of the most unique tracks in the country. We have hosted amazing races in Micro Sprints, Super Late Models, Non Wing Sprint Cars, Wing Sprint Cars, and Midgets this year. I’m not sure if there’s another track in the country that offers that much versatility.”
“The unwavering support from the Macon community has also weighed heavily on my decision. I am always bragging and take pride in the support I receive from the City of Macon, the local fans & racers who have donated their time, as well as the generosity of the locals that have handmade me gifts, and dropped off produce from their garden, etc. It’s a great feeling that I cannot fully express!
He concluded, “I appreciate your understanding and support going forward.”
Bob Sargent, Ken Schrader, Kenny Wallace and Tony Stewart formerly owned the track.
West Virginia Motor Speedway has been placed on the market for sale.
West Virginia Motor Speedway and it's facilities recently received an entire renovation with all brand new finishings inside the buildings. West Virginia Motor Speedway is known for its beautiful valley views and its unique terraced seating on the front straight hillside.

One more thing from Toledo from former ARPY Ron Drager. After being "invited into the ARCA Series Trailer" and spending a few minutes with Ron and some of his staff, Ron wanted to point out this handout that was given to the fans at the race. It described the field and the past event winners, as well as another opportunity to get your track and event sponsors in front of your attendees, whoever they are. A very simple and effective effort and a great tip.
The Turkey Night Grand Prix takes place at the picturesque Ventura Raceway (top) on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, while the Turkey Derby takes place on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean at Wall Stadium in New Jersey (bottom). Both events are sure to have packed grandstands and bolster strong car counts as the "Winter" racing season kicks into high gear. As we think about consumable shortages and other issues, we need to remember events like these used to shut the racing season down for a few months, not lead into busier times for everyone. Motorsports has not been a seasonal business for quite some time.

Be Prepared and Prepare your Facility for Everything...
With the weather taking a turn lately, it may be a good time to once again look at your facility and make sure everything is in proper order;
Preparing can take away the nasty word "negligence". Often times slip or fall accidents occur due to the negligence of another and more often negligence is sought as a solution to a bad situation. With the constantly moving goal posts, we are pressed to be more prepared than ever.
If you do an internet search of "slip and fall" it is amazing the amount of legal assistance there is for plaintiffs in regard to trying to achieve a beneficial settlement in regard to. This has become an individual segment of legal business where attorney's can focus on making a living.
We have to remain prepared, unfortunately in our circumstances, many times for the worst situation possible.
As facilities evolve into multi-purpose facilities due to current economic climate conditions, this rings true much more. Different traffic or pedestrian patterns forces us to look at our facilities differently.
There are also new regulations providing different and edited regulations for attendees and workers or employees. Additional cleansing and sanitizing stations, PPE for safety and medical workers, at every turn has seemingly changed.
Unfortunately, if we know this and choose not to do anything about it, it puts us in a position where that nasty word "negligence" comes into play. It is our responsibility to make sure we do as much possible to prevent ourselves from being placed in a bad situation.
The prevention is in the details, no matter what they may be, whether that's making sure a walkway is cleaned and unobstructed or that you have an extra package of medical gloves at a cleansing station, it becomes our responsibility.
We advise that you check with your insurance company and your local authorities in regard to policies, regulations and expectations. You may even find a conversation with either will help you to achieve a better solution than originally anticipated.
Review your policies. If you have counsel on retainer, check in with them, see if they know or have examples that can help you prepare.
This will become a common them for all of us and with the Newsletter and the Workshops in communicating this message. Unfortunately, we all become complacent and complacency often times leads us down paths that do not create positive results.
Stay tuned for more details as we continue to learn...
