It's been dusty as I can get out and they tried to resort back to how it has been and it was bad. At least an attempt was made, it just didn't work. The best track they have had was for midget week and mother nature ruined that. There has to be a happy medium and they will find it at some point. Sorry things didn't work out the way you wanted it to sir.
Your right on opinions, only thing I agree with on what you said. Problem is when it comes to what I'm saying about the track conditions, its FACTS, not OPINIONS.
They knew before a car got on the track they majorly majorly oversaturated the track. It's a mistake sure, noone is perfect, but you admit it and you spend the rest of the night trying to fix it, if nothing else for safety reasons!! Not blow it off!!
And again the track conditions was only one of multiple problems and things that have been going downhill in a hurry the last 2-3 races minus Midget Week.
This sure the hell isnt about what I wanted, you apparently didnt hear all the drivers and teams did you??? Didnt think so.
This is also talking about a veteran promoter. An experienced promoter. Someone who knows dirt tracks but it got oversaturated??? It's not like he is a rookie. It's not like he doesnt know what hes doing. How can you oversaturate it that damn bad??? It was a damn swamp!! As I said looked like track prep for MotorX. You cant remove water, you can always add when needed.
They seen it with the cars after hot laps and qualifying...holes everywhere, 6-8+ inch deep ruts everywhere...NEVER TOUCHED IT WITH WORKING EQUIPMENT UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE THE FEATURES, 1 time the entire night to be exact.
Again the workers on the infield seen it, would detour the cars, said something on the radios, NOTHING WAS DONE...I sat right there and watched every bit of it!!!! Running a truck with floaters to smash down ruts that had water splashing out of them is not working the track.
They NEVER worked the track until right before the Features and they used the wrong equipment on top of that!! What I'm stating is FACTS, not opinions. It being too dry and dusty is a hell of alot safer then holes and ruts like that with cars running wide open. On top of trashing their cars and flipping left and right.
As far as your happy medium theory, yeah percect world talk there. But jeopardizing safety, pretty sure someone at GC knows the difference. Mr. Gappens didnt have a problem finding it on a weekly basis did he??? They may want to find it quick before they lose all their stock cars and enough sprints that there wont be a race. Cant run a weekly show with just a dozen or so Sprints and that's it!!
THEY DID NOT TRY AND ANYONE WITH A WORKING PAIR OF EYES WHO WAS ACTUALLY AT THE TRACK WOULD KNOW THAT!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!
