I was a Kokomo regular for over 15 years until my recent move. Prior to the O'Connors purchasing the track it was a mess, bad track prep, poor attendance, low car counts, etc. They came in and turned things around very quickly likely saving the facility. Now the racing is second to none with the best teams and drivers routinely present. I was always greeted with a smile at the ticket booth and by other family members. There is only one grumpy guy I have encountered and he has been commented on in many threads. BTW, I always greeted him with a smile and said hello just to see if I could get him to respond in kind...never really got much beyond a nod. I will be making the trek from NC for Smackdown and cant't wait. To each their own.

Had a great time tonight at Waynesfield, With my cooler, with my stadium seat, was said hi too by at least five track staff and the sanction promoter. I got no problem saying some of the reasons in the thread is why I chose this option. I honestly don't care how great a product is if your business isn't appreciated A thank you when you buy a ticket or have a great night. A hello or a kind resolving of track policy when entering the gate. A thank you upon buying something inside the gate.
Im not out to hurt any track, But some people make it sound like they could piss on you all night and as long as they called it rain, IT's OK.
Chuck, going to take a lot of flak for this one, Maybe it will set a record? Again, I don't care about that. I care that people find the tracks as enjoyable as the racing and if some (SIMPLE) steps were taking just to say Welcome or thank you. It would go a long way toward making people want to come back or visit in the first place.
