I am sorry but I would not cut any slack to the Lawrenceburg staff, the track prep was horrible for such a big event. The bottom half of the track was a mud bog when the first session was called out for hot laps. I heard this was done on purpose, the drivers were told, "we know what we are doing, we will work the track, you guys just race on it." SAD... the bottom of the track was BARELY ready to race on by lap 50 of the feature. I am sorry but could you imagine how great the heats and feature would have been if you could use the whole track? It would have taken MAYBE 10 minutes to roll in the whole track with 70 plus cars there, but no, they had push trucks run in the top of the track ONLY, and push off for hot laps! I would say that the track was smoother then normal, and It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that it was due to the lack of the bombers, or street stocks, or whatever it is you call them. 4,000 pound cars on 8 inch wide tires are the reason for rough crappy tracks... The show was still pretty good, but it was because of the class of drivers and cars there last night, nothing else...
