I think Mr. Spiker is putting the effort into the facility that it truly needs. There are not enough hours in the day to make up for years of wear and tear on the facility over night. I believe in time he will get the kinks worked out.

The question I would like to ask is, How do tracks get away with not having a true operational abulance at the track? I was collecting my money last night when a gentleman was being hauled off the racing surface in their "ambulance". From what I gathered from the situation is that they were unable to transport the driver in the track ambulance. He was driven to the entrance where they parked and waited on a ambulance to be dispatched and pick up the driver for transport. I dont know his condition or the circumstances of his accident. My point being is that if a driver, fan, or crew member needs immediate assistance it should be there. I would think that the insurance company would make it manditory to have a fully operational ambulance present at all times.

I would like to thank Bloomington, L-Burg, & Haubstadt for all having such great safety equipment and personel. I'm not trying to pick at LPS, but I believe this needs to be addressed at the few tracks we compete at that dont have the proper safety crews.
