What should a racetrack do if when talking to different racing series trying to schedule events they tell you the drivers say it's too fast? Changing the track is not really viable

Find another series to talk to.... I thought growing up in racing all these years that was the idea..Go as fast as you can,,turn left,and repeat as needed.. The problem IMO is the people growing up in this sport these days need things perfect or they are off to find someone else to fund there fix..It is people like that, that help ruin places like Hartford or the old Clarks Motor Speedway..Instead of making track smaller/slower go do something else with your time.

Did you forget about Brian Clauson getting killed there?
Wouldn't you want it safer?

No one will ever forget BC.

USAC is attempting deal with the issue by going to the lighting system on the cars. Slowing cars or tracks down is not the answer.

Nope didn't forget,,never will...But I'm not truly convinced that speed has/had much to do with it..VS how.. So are we then saying get rid of Winchester,Salem,Eldora,Knoxville, and on and on ?????? Should we only run flat 1/4mile or smaller ?

Less water make the track dry and slick. Make the right rear tire smaller and harder.
