I was planning on helpin on the track at practice tommorrow and then taking my son to the big E. He has been looking forward to this since the schedule was out. And when a father and son live 100 miles apart and plan these things out we always hope for the best and on making memories for the both of us to look back on. But after what I am hearing on the phone and thru here, I am having my doubts. I really don't want to break his heart but if we don"t go I will blame TONY for it! I have always been a huge, maybe the biggest Tony fan, but damnit man wake up!!!! I was disgusted last Sept. when I took my wife there for her first trip and I"ll be damned if 2 hours before hot laps I told her, " We're in for a dustbowl tonite, and they didn't even grade the cushion off from last nite!" She asked me how I could tell and if I was sure because it looks wet, my reply was " Well in two hours you tell me! ( Mel and Tim Johnson did teach me a few things).

Nothing against dry slick or wet slick, seen great races on both, But they at least have to be prepared for it, not neglected into it.

I hope I get to go tommorrow and the track be in great shape, whether dry slick or wet tacky. Just PREPARE IT! We have in the past "missed it" at Lawrenceburg but at least there is monumental effort each and every week! WAKE UP!!!!!!!
