I am one of those IOW members that reads a lot but does not post very much. After reading all of the post on this thread I must state my opinion and only my option.
First I must say that I have supported Larwrenceburg Speedway all year by run my car and spending my money in the sport that I enjoy and will continue to do that.
When I started in the Sprint the debate was going on about qualifying vs. pill draw and I did not have an opinion. After run for two years I would prefer to put my setup skills and driver skills up against the clock than the luck a pill draw.
Now about the track, I tell this just as a fact of what happen to my car and driver. We start 12TH in the 2nd Heat. My driver started with 25 tear offs after the first few laps and yellows he was out of tear offs and was using his hand to wipe off his shield during the race. On the last restart that he was on the track he held one hand in front and above his shield to try and stop the mud from collect on his shield. When he realize that he was in a losing battle to be able to see he pull off the track coming off of turn two in hope he could open his shield on his helmet to see. The amount of mud on his helmet and shield was so great he could not open his shield to see and had to stop the car causing another yellow.
Do I have any problem with what happen NO, would I have like it to be better YES. My driver did what he thought was best for the condition that he and the car where in.
Long live the sport (open wheel racing) that we all enjoy
