I would like to thank Twin Cities Racway for the April 4th sprint race and paying extra money for sprint cars and Don Short of Indiana Stone Works!!!

However...I have a few concerns:

I don't understand the reason to have 5 classes of cars...nor will I ever...when you have a special race (sprint cars) with a larger purse you only need 2-3 total classes.

I think someone said Sprint cars would run first ALL night and it didn't happen...in fact the mini sprint feature had 23 laps of caution mixed in with their 20 lap feature that they ran FIRST...

The most important concern: Track prep or the lack of...I arrived at 2PM on Saturday and was surprised to see the track had NOT been touched for the races on Saturday...you could see the erosion down the track from the latest rain...Track prep is that track prep not running around the track with a sheeps foot a few laps only a few hours for the racing starts...You get out of track prep what you put into it....example Bloomington, and Tri-State Speedways...I know
everyone can't have all the nice John Deere equipment that Tom Helfrich has, and Mike Miles, at Bloomington Speedway does not either...He puts time into track prep and gives the racers and fans a good track week after week!...I understand the sun was out yesterday and it was warmer...I understand some work was done on the rough track conditions from the week prior, but I think a dry slick, dusty track in early April is very preventable!!
