JT May I ask what the problem was ? I remember the day before a Saturday the races were rained out and rescheduled for the next day which was a Sunday. I got there pretty early and watched in shock as at that time a guy the promoter was calling a dirt track preparation expert on the grader going around with the grader wide open and the blade straight across. when operateing a grader on a suface like that you should only use the lower gears such 2nd maybe 3rd I don't think a lot of people know this but a grader flexes (bounces) when at speed and the blade will gouge the surface . So theres this so called prep expert gouging the track , in other words rutting up the surface, when Tommy said something to the promoter and next thing you knew Tommy was grading the slop off the track , it was a hour or so delay but we went racing that day on a dam good track that was smooth with no ruts. So again I ask what was wrong with the track that day, and also I don't recall you being there to race as usual. The reason I know about the grader is cuz in my younger days I was a heavy equipment operator ( grader track hoe backhoe dozier etc etc)
