It would be better for him to find out on the evening it happened rather than two months later on a message board.

The reason I kept them was to show them to Dave. Due to a combination of factors which included my now working on Saturdays from 11a to 9p. I have only made it to that one show in May plus Midget week and Sprint week. On multiple occasions I tried to PM him on this website and was unable to do so because his personal message space was full. Secondly, the grandstands were full of rocks that night, as was the midway, albeit they weren't as large as the ones that I kept as examples. I assume that he or other track personnel would have had to have known that the dirt on the track had a significant amount of rock in it. If you didn't see them when you worked the track or were on it you certainly would have a clue when you went to clean up. Since I made the above assumptions, my tracking Dave down physically on a subsequent visit to present him with big ass sharp rocks would have just came off as ******** and complaining.
I don't need to be admonished for pointing out and reporting a fact. I love the track. I constantly bring new people to the track. When I go to other tracks I "sell" people that haven't been here (The Burg) on coming here and promote races here to other fans. I have posted on Robert Ballou's facebook page that I support the drivers who support The Burg as much as he has.
So, am I entitled to an opinion? I had a great time at the races the other night, but the track should have been better. It has been better in the past consistently more so than this year. It is not isolated. Racers have said so, fans have said so.
