Jerry,
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I respect it just as everyone has stated on here. And you probably are correct in saying that Dodge is not a very good non wing track. I've seen a modified flip there going down the middle of the backstretch....freak accident, but the guy was fine.
As for wing guys taking the wings off and wrecking because they didn't know any better...someone should step in and help them, if their car is set up so wrong that it's going to hurt them, or someone else. But again, at least they're trying. I grew up in Wisconsin, and I personally know much of the MSA drivers...both of my brothers have driven in the series. And Adam, my brother, destroyed his car at Sun Prairie when he took the wing off...but it had nothing to do with the fact that the wings were off, something broke in the front end. Anyways, I understand that you're concerned about the safety of the drivers...and that shows a lot about the kind of person you are. You are actually one of my favortie non wing drivers, and I think that's why the comment about Dodge kinda got under my skin a little. I didn't think that you were the kind of guy who would complain about a track that you have WON at. I bet Scott Hatton goes back to Dodge anyways, even after getting hurt there. I've seen some badly prepared race tracks...like Rutnamville...but, most racers dont complain because, you know what...its the same for everyone that night. You have to adapt to the changes. That's why I love dirt racing so much. It's always different.
Again. I respect your opinion, and I really do hope you continue to say how you feel about everything...I'm just saying how I feel. Good luck this year! Be safe.
