Okay, back home, showered, now time to vent.

First off, when I got there at 11:30, the front stretch was a mud pit. They kept running around in the tractor and water truck until turn four in the lower segment was dry!

Finally they got the grader out and got hte front stretch okay. It was somewhat dusty during qualifying, but not bad.

They brought out the water truck (big one), but the operator was watering the upper portions of the turns and not hte front stretch. I am not into track prep, but if it is dusty on the front stretch and the lower portions of hte turns, you water that area!

When they did the parade lap, they were already kicking up dust. When they got the green flag, it was un freaking believable. You couldn't see crap. I had enough there and told Jerry Coons Jr. and Dave Darland good luck if they race after all and left.

I want the Action Track to succeed, but if this is how it is going to be, let it sit. As it stands now, I got a ticket to the ISW show and I work....yeah. I knew the track prep during the King era was bad, but this was much worse (side note, the guy who did the track prep during the King Era was in the grader).

BRING BACK THE O'Conners AND Bob Sargent, I had never seen THAT look as good as it did when I was there last year for the race I got to.

An add on, on Lloyd Wall's facebook page, someone there said someone was cussing out the USAC officials and tried to climb the fence to get to them. Police got to him though (probably drunk).

HA --- They ask me why i wasn,t going to THE ACTION TRACK. ---Now they know why

Re: Action track status
 

Heck, the only reason I went was because I got a free ticket. Had it not been for that, I probably wouldn't have gone.

Another interesting note, due to pitting in parking lots, people were able to roam the pits without a pit pass. Some people bought a pit pass too.

BTW, Darron Clayton posted this picture of T Mex's car.

Told ya this was gonna get interesting.

Re: Action track status
 

well the good news is usac has a couple more chances to screw up terre haute.3 strikes your out(i hope).

Re: Action track status
 

After today, until I hear things are better, I probably won't go to THAT for a while. The O'Conners had it looking good at the race I got to last year. I needed a reason to get to TSS and the Burg again. Perhaps once I get my tent that I have in layaway, I will head to the burg one Saturday.

Now they have two races to re schedule.

TRACK CONDITIONS FORCE TERRE HAUTE POSTPONEMENT

Terre Haute, IN……..Extreme heat and deteriorating track conditions which resulted in an aborted start forced postponement of Sunday afternoon’s First Financial Bank “Sumar Classic 100” at the Terre Haute Action Track. The United States Auto Club, after extensive efforts to prepare a track suitable for racing, will now seek an alternate date to conduct the event. USAC extends its sincerest appreciation to the fans and participants who supported this event and will announce a rescheduled date when it is firm. “We obviously are sorry that Saturday night’s heavy rains in the Terre Haute area presented some difficult challenges for us all and we are dedicated to giving our fans the most competitive event possible,” said Jason Smith, USAC Executive Vice-President. “Unfortunately, we were prepared for a great event before the heavy rains created circumstances which led to this postponement. This decision was made in the best interest of safety for our participants
and
fans.” Levi Jones posted the fastest qualifying time prior to the cancellation. Thomas Meseraull escaped injury in a flip on the aborted original start.
