Wonder if feature will push before 11:30 or maybe midnight?
|
Must have been one he!! of a race, got a text from a friend. Lots of guys who started in the back had good finishes.
|
Ended up being pretty good, Windom needed about 4 or 5 more laps and he would of caught sunshine. Thomas gave one away tonight which is rare for him. Hes one of the best drivers in the country and a mistake like that is not something he usually does.

Felt bad for Thomas he was really flying. Thought Hopkins and McDougal had strong runs, along with Windom. Glad that Jarret Andretti is ok after hitting cage down on the front stretch wall. Thought the crew did a nice job of bringing the track back, but the wrecker crews are really slow. I think 2 support classes would have been enough, as it was a very late night. Will be back at SprintWeek.

"But it's about safety" because the ambulance was there. |

Right now there are 2 licensed ambulances in Jacksonville Illinois. There is zero chance both will be sitting at the race track at the same time. Trackpreps point is that you deal with circumstances as they exist...not as you wish them to be. Trackprep puts the wheels in motion at our place to deal with the situation. Our rule is bring in the 2nd if the one on site is going to transport. If it isnt we wait. Those decisions can take awhile to be made by the EMTs. If ambulance 1 transports and ambulance 2 is out on a call...we wait for the 20 mins for ambulance 1 to return. Only other option is to close the doors.
|
Another issue is that events like races are often staffed by ambulance crews that sign up for the extra shift. At one track we operated in a decent sized city the ambulance couldn't get a crew together every week to even be there. Not even one crew.. Let alone 2.
Fortunately the fire dept had high end EMTs and a ton of equipment to deal with it appropriately at the track and would call an on duty ambulance 5 mins away when responding to a wreck if it looked like a possible transport. |
Understand what you are saying, I just hope and pray that one of my friends or family or anyone for that matter does not need immediate crucial medical attention due to a health matter or even worse , when the ambulance just left the property to transport. Seconds matter. I guess you take your chances with the cards you are dealt.
|
In our county probably 10,000 people of all ages and ailments live at least a 15 min response time away from the ambulance. I understand your concern but I feel like our fans are safer at our race track than in their own home. We can be to them within a minute. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Its an important issue to discuss from all angles.

There is tracks that have what I call the pretend ambulance it never leaves the property not even licensed to leave. This topic comes up frequently on here and facebook. Bottom line there is no law on tracks operating with a working ambulance. It's up to the fans and drivers to make the decision on coming to any track.

We interrupt the great ambulance debate to give a huge shout out to Jason McDougal for his podium finish from 23rd in his USAC National sprint car debut! Great job Jason!!!
