With DA this was a weekly happening and I finally got tired of the hassle. Enough is enough for me.
I have nothing bad to say about Mason Fleetwood since I don't even know him. However, if he chooses to associate with DA, I personally don't need to put myself in a position to endure anymore disappointment. I also believe that USAC has leased the track for tonight and Mason doesn't have anything to do with the feed. If I am wrong, someone will set me straight I am sure.
Chuck, I am glad you have had a great experience at Twin Cities and I hope that continues as well at Lincoln Park.
Mike, I got no problem with your view and reasons. My view of it is, WIthout these leases, Racing will cease to exist at these tracks. I talked with a couple racers who went to LPS a couple weeks ago. They had hundreds if not thousands in repair bills and said the track was basically un raceable (Same way it was at my NST visit) Ramps in the track.
I've seen LPS at its best, Believe me, I WANT IT BACK!
