I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a huge O'Connor fan. It's not a secret they aren't willing to change things on racer or fan based input. I guess we will have to deal with that.
The things that don't surprise me are as follows; that they pulled the plug on hot laps- they just don't care. They have the market cornered on sprint cars here in Indiana on Sunday nights and any other day of the week. It's very cyclical. If they continue to mistreat people and not improve, and yes, everything can be improved, then another track will take the "awesomest racetrack" crown away from them. I remember when Putnamville was the **** man!
Also not surprised that DG took his ball and stomped off the playground last night. Remember when Ballou laid on the air horn last year at the gate? Too bad they opened it so quickly. I enjoyed the sound of a good semi horn.
I'm not sure how they do it over in Illinois, but here in Indiana, we view the internet as a viable source for media. I guess late model guys don't understand the qwerty concept of a web based lifestyle.
On the flip side; most people hate change. And cutting out hot laps is a time/money saver. Let's look at this a different way. On a regular show, the sprint cars warm the motors, and then go out to qualify in groups. No hot laps there. So really.....what's the difference? Still hammer down and speed and time still dictate the outcome later on in the night, right?
Let's not go to slamming my beloved KKM SPDWY just yet. I hope a sprint car group buys the track next. Nothing against the O'Connors, but fenders seem to close in minds just like the enclose wheels. Then, again, the flip side of this is; they didn't get successful by being rolled over on and easily swayed.
Let's give them one more shot. Maybe the guy in the white pants just need a hug?
That annoying nasally voice gives the speedway more character anyway. I can't stop going and neither can you.....
