Spin it how you wish, it doesn't change the facts that you oversold it. What ive done, or can/cannot do, is irrelevant.
If i loaded up the camper to leave a week early before the usac show, just to go see a really big 50 car midget show, i would be pretty pissed off!
Never questioned your effort, never questioned your intent, never questioned your promoting skills. Didn't want to get in a pissing match either.
All that aside, when you have a paid pre-entry, WITH a deadline, you already have a general idea what the car count is going to be. Yet, according to you, you went off a bunch of verbals?? For someone who claims to be at this his whole life, you advertise verbal commitments as entered?
Maybe i should have waited until after saturday to bring this up? But it was obvious what was going to happen.
I have wished you sucess from the begining, and wish the best for this event in the future.
Just please be more straight up about things, and you'll be the hero you want to be!
