Broc, a lot of the drivers hated it because it spooked them. Most of todays sprintcar drivers rarely, if ever, see or run on a tacky track like that. Proof is the fact that 12 of them got upside down on a similar track at the opening USAC show in April. Many of them weren't prepared to set up a car for that kind of surface and were simply over hooked. What kept the track in October from being as racy was the fact that they didn't allow the bottom to be run in early enough and that made the track one and a half lanes. The bottom just stayed sloppy all night. If they had run in the bottom with the top, they could've run anywhere and it would of made for more passing. It was just incredible (and a little scary) to see non-wing sprinters going around there that fast!
