I agree with the thoughts that have been expressed by others on this board. The only way that a sprint car race should ever take place is only if they make numerous improvements. It's been a few years since I've been to Osgood, so maybe they've made some changes. If not, like Jon said, it's a recipe for disaster. One thing that really hasn't been mentioned, but I thought of, is the pit area. I'm pretty sure there are only concrete barriers between the track and pit area. If this is correct, I could easily see a sprint car flying through the pit area.
There are numerous things that I could think of that should be fixed, if not already. I'm thinking that there's just too much to do to have it ready. Plus, with it being a fairgrounds, how easy would those improvements be approved?
With all this being said, I would love to see it happen, but only if things are right as far as safety is concerned.
