Plus a significant rant in between
P.S. if you weren't racing a car tonight don't say the track was great. Race tracks look a lot different when your out there than when you are in the stands. It usually looks great in the stands, but you get out there and its a lot different looking. This goes for all tracks not just LPS.
If you regularly read this board, you surely must realize it is an OPEN WHEEL board. Nothing prohibits you from posting but you'd have to agree that the
major
interest here is OPEN WHEEL racing. I suppose you can find some sympathy but you certainly aren't going to find a solution, or for that matter much agreement for setting up a track more suitable to support classes at the expense of the main attraction.
You need to be talking to the track management rather than the patrons.
No doubt some of our resident EOEs (Experts on Everything) can advise management on the track preparation procedures that will make everyone happy right down to the exact gallon of water and the precise moment it must be applied but none of us are going to be out there doing track prep (thats probably a good thing). I would say this in deference to your command...I thought the track was great(for what I came for...the sprint car feature) and I wasn't driving a car, but I and several hundred other sprint car fans bought the vast majority of tickets sold. You surely don't have to guess what happens if sprint car fans quit coming....well, you won't have to worry about what the track is set up for.
But, isn't that part of the challenge...to set your car up to existing track conditions?
