We also enjoyed the racing last night at TCRP. I appreciate Mason stepping up and paying a high dollar show honoring one of the true outlaws we have seen race. The memory of Jesse still lives on in many of us. A true racer who was taken from us way to soon.
Glad to hear that Brady was okay after his ride out of the ballpark. Very fortunate that no one else was injured in the pits as well. Track conditions weren't ideal to say the least.
A track like last night provides a challenge for all the racers. Some excel while others don't. Same track for all of the competitors though.
I also wish that this facility could be brought back to life. The only way that is going to happen is if someone else buys it and sinks a bunch of money into it. Otherwise, what you see is what you will get.
I mentioned this in a post last year and I will say it again. I would like to see an invert in the heat races and a redraw in the feature. I believe that the racing would be even better than it was last night. A good opening night of racing that could be even better in my opinion.
One last comment. I am not bashing Mason or his crew as I would like to see them be successful in their endeavors. However, they need to work on the organizational part of the program as a whole. I believe that it is the promoters responsibility to have the track prepped and ready to go at the assigned starting time. If you plan on starting at 7:00 PM, then you need to be ready to go at 7.
A good show should have a window of approximately 3-3 1/2 hours. I go to see an event not a marathon. An event like this draws fans from farther away and a late night ending won't entice them to return. Us old diehards probably will but families with children (next generation of racing fans) won't. Too many entertainment options to choose from.
