I am sure the track owners or promoters and there staff take care of the preperation of the track befor the event. I do know from the ISW show at Gas City that Jiggs asked asked USAC top officals--do you want the track reworked--and the answer was-- NO. I was standing there when that question was asked. If you timed the B-mains that night you would of seen they were in the 12:6+ seconds and that is fast. So that call might of been just. But for the Action track and the dirt car race, there was no excust for that track and the water issue, USAC and or THAT. You both share in the effort to have a good track for the fans and racers. That much down time-put water on the track. It was evident after wheel packing the track was not watered enough from the bottom to the middle. I sat on the front streach and did not see that first car enter the first turn or exit the second turn. After 15 laps I moved to the outside of turn four to the wood tower with the same resaults. What little racing I saw in turn three and four was good, but it was only wourth fourth laps and I had enough of the Action Track. There was a good fan turn out, but there will probably be a lot of them that will not return to a dirt race because of the dusty conditions that night.
