What you have now is a more tame version of what some of us got to experience pre-1999 but it's better than staying home and usually the race is good so by all means go and have fun!!
I've been to this track more and know more about this track than you ever will and just last year, the classic battle between Chris Windom and Chad Boespflug was one of the better races I can EVER remember seeing there. And just a few years before that, at the first Don Smith Classic, a duel between Robert Ballou and Jesse Hockett was a historic one. Both well after 1999. But, I'm just a race fan, not a noted track prep critic, like you.
