Okay, back home, showered, now time to vent.

First off, when I got there at 11:30, the front stretch was a mud pit. They kept running around in the tractor and water truck until turn four in the lower segment was dry!

Finally they got the grader out and got hte front stretch okay. It was somewhat dusty during qualifying, but not bad.

They brought out the water truck (big one), but the operator was watering the upper portions of the turns and not hte front stretch. I am not into track prep, but if it is dusty on the front stretch and the lower portions of hte turns, you water that area!

When they did the parade lap, they were already kicking up dust. When they got the green flag, it was un freaking believable. You couldn't see crap. I had enough there and told Jerry Coons Jr. and Dave Darland good luck if they race after all and left.

I want the Action Track to succeed, but if this is how it is going to be, let it sit. As it stands now, I got a ticket to the ISW show and I work....yeah. I knew the track prep during the King era was bad, but this was much worse (side note, the guy who did the track prep during the King Era was in the grader).

BRING BACK THE O'Conners AND Bob Sargent, I had never seen THAT look as good as it did when I was there last year for the race I got to.

An add on, on Lloyd Wall's facebook page, someone there said someone was cussing out the USAC officials and tried to climb the fence to get to them. Police got to him though (probably drunk).
