Very well said Jerry.
It was great talkin' some front engine open wheel racing with you, Dan and the guys up in the granstands. I'm from hardcore dirt late model country and don't often get to chew the fat with guys that know a whole lot more about the sprint, midget and Silver Crown scene than I know. Where I'm from the average race fan consider IMCA style modifieds open wheel cars. Not that I'm demeaning the dirt lates in any way.
As badly as things went Sunday, if at all possible, I will be at Terre Haute for all future non wing sprint, midget or Silver Crown racing. It's just not in me to boycott a track or genre of cars because of an occasional bad experience.
If I were USAC and wanted to run a day show, anywhere, I would talk to Sarge and either get an itinerary from him as to when and how to prepare for a day show or better yet hire his track prep people to manage the procedure. I have yet to see any appreciable amount of dust at Springfield for either the Silver Crown cars or the ARCA cars or at Du Quoin prior to the lights being installed or for the Labor Day ARCA show and we have seen temps in the triple digits more than once at Du Quoin. I've seen those places rubber down due to too many laps by other divisions but never much dust.
And once again it was great meeting and BSing with you guys Sunday.
