I would like to ask a question. Perhaps, unpleasant to many in the sanctioning body arena ( NOT USAC) Toledo. April 28th, 2019. Why are we NOT asking questions? Does someone have to die for a ‘wake up call’ to be issued? It appears so. It seems as though death is the the only thing that brings about change, but only when a mechanical issue is presumed to be the culprit. Have I missed something? I don’t believe that the track is to blame, based on a now disappeared vid that I saw. But, I may have missed something.... Please advise.....

To try and be positive here, in my opinion MSCS is one of the best run programs. Several other groups could learn from a MSCS drivers meeting.

Believe your referring to the silver crown race. If I remember correctly there were 2 issues that have been addressed. 1 the caution lights were never activated and 2 race tower was on a different channel and drivers never heard about the car on the front stretch. Hopefully they have learned from mistakes. They are human and mistakes will always happen.

This was not in the Silver Crown race, but in the Sprint race after. It was not USAC sanction.

Why are we digging this back up 2 months later?

It was hashed out when it happened.
