I was wondering that same thing. I wasn't sure if the Fair Board has to prep the track, or if MTQRL could decide who preps that track. Is it true that someone other than the Fair Board will be prepping it? Or, will someone be assisting them in prepping it, at least? I sure hope so...

I remember a few years ago during the Rushville Nationals, they had a championship race. I'm pretty sure we had a rain delay, which put some moisture in the track. Wow, it was a pretty good show after that. It has some potential, but it's rarely shown. I know that the dirt isn't the best, but if prepared right, it can be pretty good. As long as they add a lot of water, and not all on the bottom. Water quite a bit up top too, all of the way to the fence. Plus, I think it gets packed too tight a lot of times. You don't need twenty mud packing sessions.

These are just my observations, but I'm no track prep expert! I've been going to Rushville for well over twenty years, since I was a kid. So, hopefully it'll be a really good crowd!
