I bet some of these promoters around the state wish some of you would just stay home. I really question whether some you actually like racing or not. Seems to me some of you want dirt track shows that last about an hour because you don’t want them to be too late. God forbid if the track needs to be re-worked a little bit. Last time I checked a dirt surface can be good sometimes and bad sometimes. That’s the nature of the surface. Pavement racing is the same all the time so maybe some of you should check that out.

OK, so they are running a class that was not going to be run, big deal. You guys make it sound like it is the worst thing ever and that they added 3 or 4 extra classes. It’s pretty simple, show up later and you won’t have to watch all of what you don’t want to see. OK, you’re going to have to see some of it during down time, go walk around or something. I just don’t see adding one class to a card as suddenly ruining a show. It would be so much better to have the place idle with weeds growing all over it than have ONE extra class of cars ONE time. Some of you need to find a new hobby.

As for the comparison of a few years back when waiting for drivers from Milwaukee to get there, that is ridiculous. Please remember others were in charge then. A blanket statement condemning a new group (others were in charge then) because of adding a class makes no sense. And YES, I was there and remember it. The track may turn out that way, but I’m not going to go into it assuming that will be the case. It’s not a given it will be worn out. The old track was worn out before it was even wheel packed so bad comparison.

Give these guys a break. I have been to two shows this year and it is nice to see the place start to come back to what it was. I haven’t left either show thinking, that was the best run show it could have been. However, I did leave happy that I was able to go there again after not going for two years. They do have some things to learn, but give them some time to learn them. Making a choice to go to Lawrenceburg is fine, but not going ONLY because of one extra class doesn’t make sense to me.
