I am totally appauled at USAC's piss poor handling of Brian Tyler's oil smoking situation. He was smoking for 15 plus laps before the engine blew and USAC did nothing. I was in an area where I saw 5 YES 5 USAC officials see his car smoking worse and worse every lap and nothing was done. Hell, the front of Darland's car was black from oil and he was right behind Tyler the entire time. USAC you really screwed that up. I did talk with a few car owners and they told me that if it was their car smoking that bad their car would have been black flagged but since it was one of the bigger teams in USAC and one of the bigger named drivers they let it go.

The crowd was also horrible. The attendance better picup or this race will not be on the schedule, if it returns next year at all.
