An earlier poster made the statement that the traffic issues made the USAC fiasco at Terre Haute look like a "minor misjudgement". That is even a more laughable. At least NASCAR ran their race. There is absolutely no excuse for what USAC pulled at Terre Haute.
Wow! A negative response from Mr. Ford?:2: Whats next? Perhaps you should contact Kentucky Speedway and get your tickets for next years race ordered right away. I am sure they will be sold out again and with all of the money Bruton Smith made, he will have the traffic and parking problems solved in short order. A PR nightmare like this will surely help with ticket sales for future events there.
