If they would have sent all 25 cars out to pack it down at the advertised 11:30am hot lap time all would have been ok or at the least better than it was. They could have ironed out the wet spots on the inside in between sessions, leave track prep to the professionals! USAC really gave themselves a black eye on this one, stick to what works! It was a blessing that no one was hurt and only racecars were damaged, we can replace those!

I completely agree with what you said,driving around the track with heavy tractors and water truck for ever just completely squash's all the water to the top then taking the blade to it to scrap what moisture was laying on top is just plain dumb.
But you can't say that because it was a day race that was what caused the problems,it was caused by someone's poor decisions.
