Unfortunately, we saw both ends of the spectrum when it came to track conditions at Ocala. Thursday night was so black slick that nobody could pass after a handful of laps in the feature. Saturday was so tacky and fast that the cushion never was pushed up to allow passing. Friday was going to be a great track before Mother Nature Intervened. I am pretty sure that the extra water Saturday was probably added to try to keep the track from getting so black and killing everybody's tires.
I don't think that in today's tough economy, 1 track promoter should resort to all of the negative press about a sanctioning body. Every type of car brings their own group of dedicated fans and drivers. I came from Indiana like many others did. I have a certain amount of disposable income to spend on entertainment as I am sure many others do. I love watching non-wing sprints but, I expect to see a quality show for my money. I would think that Bubba would be trying to bend over backwards to try to keep USAC and it's fans happy. If it weren't for the fans sitting in the bleachers buying his $3 hot dogs and $3 sodas he would have nothing.
Overall I had a good time in Florida but, if Bubba doesn't want to make things right then, I can go to a different track next Feb. in Florida or save my money to give to a track in Indiana in the summer. I don't feel that any of this is good for the sport and unfortunately, Bubba has access to the airwaves to preach to his minions and influence things. I don't think anybody is going to come out a winner on this one. J.M.O.
