No Way Out 40 Updates

ossuks · 4/1/12, 3:24 PM

Went to White Castle last night, ordered 4 double cheese and the price was $7.84, drove off and left them setting in the bag! If everyone left them sitting in the bag one time the price would drop!

So what is my point? Just like this year everyone will get excited to start the season and will support the No Way Out 40 in 2013, the place will still be a sht hole and everyone will complain again. Until everyone leaves them setting in the bag nothing will change!!

yesterday was my first trip to twin cities. I was pretty disappointed in the track condition, and the fact that they said on the website and on here hot laps start at 5:45 SHARP. well, i sat in the car until probably 630 when they finally decided to get the show underway. The first practice the rut wasnt bad. but after the second practice everyone in the stands knew what was going to happen. Im not sure why a track would wait until someone flips over the wall to decide they need to fix their track

If they would have spent that 30-60 minutes it took to fix that, earlier, im sure everyone in the stands would have been alot happier. Second. this is the first time i have ever been to a track that the track workers run out onto the track in the middle of a race to pick up debris, i wasnt sure what to think about that, all i could do was laugh.
With that said, i would go back for another year for the "no way out 40". I would expect alot more out of the track and the workers. The racing was really good and i dont think that was a problem. All the stuff they did as a tribute to jesse was awesome.

I apologize for the minor meltdown while doing the tribute, making it hard to understand anything

Are you serious? They 'carried' the sprint cars?! This sounds like "those street stock guys" were the headliners. Without their magnetic 'cash draw' at the box office you're betting there wouldn't even be a No Way Out sprint car race??... Apparently you didn't see the stampede of fans rushing the exit gate after the checkered flag fell on the sprint car feature? The only reason I wasn't in that group is because I can't run that fast anymore. I had to wait for the first wave of traffic to dissipate...By comparison the stands looked like a ghost town afterwards.

Tell you what, take the gate receipts and attendance figures from this race, then schedule a street stock race for the following weekend.... Make an honest, not biased ,evaluation of your cash intake for the 2 shows. Compare, and tell me how that came out??.....Just saying.

I've attended only USAC Sprintweeks events at North Vernon and have always seen good races, but I can't generate enough enthusiasm to return. It would be wonderful if this place were upgraded as LPS was; then I would return.
I came close to attending Saturday night, but I'm glad I stayed home and watched UK beat Louisville. My wife is a former high school cheerleader, and one of her friends at McDonald's made her some pompons in Kentucky colors. She made good use of them while we watched the game!
