It's just a shame all around. I realize the weather was working against the track last night but as you said this isn't a new development.
You are right that he is trying a few things, but the problem is that it is too late now to make a substantial difference in the way things are going. I don't think Midgets were the solution because Montpelier already has them, and other groups like TQ's and mini-sprints aren't going to attract a lot of fans that wouldn't already come. As we both mentioned, this is something that started a long time before Mel took over. It will take a while to regain the support of the fans that have stopped coming and for things to start moving back in the right direction.
