I enjoyed the race, but do have one complaint that I have already sent to Jennifer Cook of the Fair board and Track Enterprises. It is regarding people up against the catch fence during the races. There were numerous people, both kids and adults right next to the fence when the cars were at speed the ENTIRE night. Only once, at the beginning of the sprint feature did someone, a sheriff I think, move people from the catch fence. I was at the race a few years ago at THAT when Travis Rutz was injured and two cars took out part of the catch fence in front of the grandstands. If that would have happened last night, someone would have been injured or worse. They need to either install a small fence to keep people back away from catch fence, or have a track staff member or sheriff for the entire night keeping people away from the fence. Just about every track I have been to has this problem, but last night was the worst I have seen.
