I'm sorry but I will not be back until Terre Haute gets straightened out. I'm really surprised the racing went on, luckily no one got seriously injured in the dust storm.
As a fan I don't like being held hostage, to wait for the racing action, sun or no sun(poor excuse).
While the so called pre-race festivities go on the frontstretch as the water evaporates from the track. I would hope Usac was not happy with this either. Plus this NOT being a weekend night letting it go on & on. I would say 85 % of the fans were from out of town & had to work the next day. I myself had a 90 mile drive. It would have been nice to be home early.
I'm making alternate Hut 100 plans now.
It's very unfortunate as this is the closest track to me & has such a rich tradition.
I was really excited about the new promoters re-opening & bringing it back. Oh well, I guarantee I wasn't the only one saying they wouldn't be back. What a shame!
