Same old story. I remember this argument from last year and for some reason it still makes me angry. I get that it's hard to unload and load, I've helped do it before, for a long time. Why is it that at Terre Haute so many people get so worked up about it? It's not like it's the only place you can't work out of your hauler. Someone else mentioned Springfield, what about Manzy, Belleville, and Winchester sure is a pain waiting for the next race to be over so everyone can rush across. And honestly what BETTER place to do it than Terre Haute. There is so much history there, so many race fans, so many kids. While we are worrying about the future of racing, dying car counts, and dying crowd counts, there is that little boy (or GIRL!) whose parents took him into the infield at Terre Haute. He get's to have a great time with his family, hang out by the fence, watch a team thrash to fix a car and get it out in time for the next race, and maybe even get to sit in someone like Dave Darland, Tracy Hines, or Jerry Coons' car after the race. These are the kids that decide, "this is what I want to do when I grow up". This kid is the future of the sport, and you're mad because it took you an extra half hour to unload your stuff in the infield? Get with it.
