Since there is no way I can make it to the Action Track for tomorrows ISW show I am hoping to read the updates that Chris Nunn without fail has been giving us or if he is not available Robin Elson or others that can amply fill in for him. However I am not sure whether or not to click on the “Updates” thread to view. Given THAT's recent history including the aborted Sumar Classic I'm a little apprehensive.
As far as I'm concerned Indiana Sprint Week 2011 at THAT is a fresh start. I don't care what happened last week, last month or three years ago or why Joe Saldana flipped in the Hut Hundred. I am just as much a kid with these updates as I was when following the exploits of Branson and (Jud) Larson back in the day. Unfortunately, at the first sign of a problem or possibly the race not meeting someone's high expectations I'm afraid the THAT updates thread will denigrate into another dump fest on the present and past sins of the Action Track and how it doesn't measure up to other tracks or races. I want to enjoy the rest of ISW but I'm thinking my choices are to follow USAC in Twitter and wait or risk getting the updates on IOW, raising my blood pressure and turning the computer off while shaking my head in disgust. I guess there is something to be said about the “good old days.” Any ones points of view with the exception of Foyt and a few others was just pit chatter that didn't carry much more than five square yards.
I'd like to see an update thread dedicated to updates, not just for THAT but beyond. I know it's a novel idea but I guess that's why they call it "updates" instead of "updates and commentary." I hope I will get my wish but my gut feeling tells me otherwise.
