So its not ok for those who ACTUALLY SUPPORTED THE SPORT and THOSE PROMOTORS? To share their opnion of How things were and how they felt treated.

I attended both Fri's Eldora Show and for the second straight year sat through hours of what I consider SHODDY WORK only to have the event cancelled. (Thats two years in a row now mind you that the track itself was the problem and the EVENT was not completed) Im a bit upset at spending a hundred on the ordeal. I can't imagine teams away from home spending thousands to be there.
The second was Burg, After 3/4 of a inch of rain from 10am till 3pm we started a hour late on a track that was magnificent. I shared how great I felt about it 99 percent good and shared a couple concerns.

LPS im sure had their problems with new clay on the track and wet conditions. Still those who chose to stay, saw a complete show. Something that two years in a row at Eldora I drove a 130 miles each way only not to see, Not because it was cancelled but because The one thing a show needs to be held for wasn't in racing shape. I've been at tracks with no grandstands, No restrooms, No Giant Tron, No concession and seen a RACE COMPLETED.

I can't say my experiences at the E lately have been nearly as enjoyable.

If they deserve a pat on the back, Give it to them. If it was something they done wrong, They have nobody to blame but themselves. As long as the complaints are legitimate (WAS THERE) and Respectful. IMHO thats called constructive criticism from actual cash paying fans, who were at the event, Hoping they improve on the problem

USAC called a race saturday with a big ole blob of stroms coming across indiana and ohio and the track that was nearly unraceable the previous evening due to WET conditions. Gave everyone other options instead of possilbly the same or worse as Friday night. Some of the racers and fans both either got to race or saw one.

Everyone knows there are **** happens moments, Showing up at a track that hadn't had a bit of water put on it till a hour and a half prior to race time and shows getting cancelled because of dust. Isn't a **** happens moment

Please note that when i say Shoddy work. It isn't necessarily that people didn't work hard, as much as they didn't do the right things.
