If he’s going to be that sensitive when things aren’t 100% right, he better get out of the business now. How many times have fans/drivers gotten on the internet to complain about a track (some deserved, some not)? How many times have you seen the track owner get on the internet to blast fans/drivers? Not saying never, but rarely. You can’t run a business by basically telling people FU. I get the, “I’m going to tell it like it is” deal, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense when running a business. When people aren’t happy, you can’t tell them FU. Sometimes you have to handle things off-line. We have seen a track that wasn’t great and the reason given was, “sanctioning body X took over and I had no control over it”. That happens (not sure in this case), but I’ve not seen a track owner get into fights with drivers and officials about it on the internet. Lot to learn, you can’t treat owning a track like it’s a radio show. He might be PO’ed, but not handled well.
