First off I'd like to thank Bloomington Speedway for several things they did last night. We were in the 4th line of cars up at the top entrance waiting for gates to open at 4:30. When they opened up, the first 3 lines drove straight into the track. Come to find out they went around and pre-sold tickets to those lines, allowing a much quicker entry. Second they added a few porta pottys in the upper parking. Third they had workers walking around selling concession items in the crowd. I'm sure this allowed them to sell more and also keep the line down, even tho it was still looooong.

Elephant in the room is the rock issue. They are still everywhere and quite a bit of damage was done to tires and cars due to that. You could see sparks flying from the tiller going around the track. I know it's going to take some time for those to work their way out. The All Star Circuit of Champions is coming in 2 weeks. A ton of tires were blown during the IRA race, even the Flagman got hit during the Burton Memorial and went down and had to bring out the Red flag. I'm afraid those series will not return if things aren't cleaned up.

Eat dirt, be happy 🇺🇸
