My take on THAT last night.
1. Who ever is in charge of the water truck should be shot.
2. Kudos to the drivers who risked damaging their cars to go out and wheel pack. Otherwise the track would have never been in any shape to race.
3. Promoters should have made some type of concession to the fans, sim to the drivers gas card. You advertise a 6pm start time and you run 3 hours late because of your own stupidity, then you should compensate your paying fans in some way.
4. Last night would have been a good night to have the modifieds on the card also. They are pretty good at wheel packing.
5. I had asked in an earlier post if THAT had brought in extra track prep equipment for this event. Answer was , NO. I don't understand why the wreckers or the push trucks never helped run the track in. Can anyone explain this to me.
6. At a USAC sprint car event, part of the show is to watch qualifying. Some great runs come during this time. We were all shorted of this experience. Thanks USAC. 25 Bucks is a little steep for 4 races.
7. Race turned out to be a Terre Haute classic in the end. First lap crash was just a racing deal, had nothing to do with track condition. Fastest that I have ever seen Terre Haute. As long as you stayed off of the inside 5 feet of track you were ok.
8. Congrats to CoonDog. Epic battle between you and Levi. DD also made an impressive run. Wish DC would get his stuff straighten out. Would like to see him run for a win again. I got home at 12:30 am cst. Not horrible, but not good as this should have been a 10:30 pm arrival.
9. Will I be back, probably. Hopefully all learn from this and make adjustments to the next event.
