I dont know about anybody else but I saw two Kick Ass races! Instead of celebrating the greatness we saw displayed Sunday night last, we would rather tune in to the latest episode of Race Track Autopsy: What went wrong!

Has anyone noticed how many seats remain for the million. I made a last minute decision to go and can’t believe the amount of empty seats.

I'm thinking that the track surface has been modified slightly from last year? The three trips that I have been there this have produced a floating type of dirt/grit that you typically did not see last year. Except for the WoO which always stirs up dirt. Weather issue? Crowd was poor for a IMW show. But I thought B-Ton crowd was very light also. Sunday night, Central Time Zone, Fuel Cost, Night 3 of IMW, Waning USAC Midget interest, I'm sure all contributed to low attendance. I had the Midget feature at close to one hour in length. Lots of Bonzai, better get outta my way passes/failed slide jobs that seem to be the USAC Midget norm these days. Winner said that he did what it took to win and beat KKM cars. Gotta (sometimes) love T. Yes I thoroughly enjoyed both features though.

Track at Haubstadt was fantastic....I think they can sometimes overwork it, and make it 1 lane for half of the scheduled race length.....I like it with a little slick....no issues.....The cost of Diesel will make you park the Farm Show...IMO

Just curious. How many campers were there and where did they park?

There were quite a few campers parked along the N fence row of the NW grass lot. I don't know if it was more or less than normal. I think I heard that that location along the N fence row was going to be the "camper spot" for the rest of the season.

Much of it is now corporate greed. During the 1st year of the pandemic demand for fuel bottomed and prices did as well. U.S. petroleum companies were hemorrhaging money and as a result they cut tons of workers and stopped new drilling. With gas at $5+ a gallon they are making, as per usual, obscene amounts of profit. They are now unwilling to reinvest in workers or new drills to reap profits, content to make us more dependent on an increase in foreign oil imports. ***** actually opened more areas for drilling, no takers. Some take anything and make it part of their political agenda. This is not political, ***** could have done no more about it than this administration, the bonus with the current administration is that there hasn’t been an attack on our democratic system of government.

It wasn’t political until your last statement which was very political. No doubt the oil companies are making big profits right now. My only question is, if it is this simple why don’t they always operate this way. It wasn’t long ago gas price was less than half what it is now. Did the oil companies just now become greedy?
