If the Burg gets there show in tomorrow there's absolutely no reason why putnamville couldn't have gotten the race in. Show a little effort disappointing.

Absolutely no reason???????????? First of all you have no clue as to how much rain either speedway received. You also are trying to compare apples to oranges. Each speedway has a different make up and it many times has nothing to do with the track surface itself.

Have you taken the time to drive to each facility to see exactly the issues they are facing? I would think not. What is your qualifications for running a race track? Do you have any idea of what it takes to promote a speedway? Have you contacted either speedway and offered your services to help them get ready for race day?

There are still a number of tracks for sale and I am sure that with your attitude of getting it done or else, you would be a prime candidate to buy one of these facilities and run it. Since Lincoln Park has cancelled do you plan on going to Lawrenceburg to support their show since they plan on running?

I will wait for you answers to make a final judgement.

This is the most ridiculous post I've ever read on here.
PVille has hillsides that drain into the track area, Turns 1-2 probably have about four feet of water in them. They might be able to get it drained out but getting the track packed in to where its not completely ruts would be nearly impossible. I remember they ran this race off two or three years ago and like five cars finished the track was so rough.
Nevermind that the quarry road washes out the pit lane and the pits are probably soft as heck.

Dozens of tracks have already called saturday. Burg and Pville are two completely different tracks, One is high banked with built in drainage and pumps. The other is built into two hillsides and Spiker spent a ton in drainage but i still wouldn't expect it to overcome the monsoons we've had.

Really, A Apology would be nice because them people have been top notch trying to get shows in and treating people well.

Best post I've read in a long time.

Absolutely correct Aero. Since there is no racing, I'm heading in to take my afternoon nap.
