Yes, I know I'm just a bitter old man.
I'm a bitter old man to but i also read in another post that they just should have reworked the track anyway, what would have happened? All the same fans and drivers were coming back to the same track the next day so who cares if you spend some time trying to make the track better. It's not like everybody had a cross country drive to get to the next race. I know it's in the past and over but i get frustrated when we travel 6 hours to see Sprintweek for the first time thinking the track work would be re-done before the A.
What i don't get is if Jiggs makes the call on a rain out why the :censor: can't he make the call on reworking the track? Seems to me that those two things should go hand in hand as a promoters call. I know not every race will be a classic and we will come back to Gas City in the future.
