Uh...Shane Cottle? :2:

We've been out of the track before midnight at every race but the nothing but sprints night.

Races have been over early most nights this year. I think the racievers have helped a lot plus the track prep. The track has been good most nights with a lot of all green heat races. The all sprints night did go late but when you live 7 minutes from the track I can live with it!!!

I agree. I feel i kinda blindsided both Dave and the minis. I din't mean to sound critical and would have much rather said it in person.

I feel for the most part they are doing a bang up stellar job. I do feel that cushion packing (And they have at times) Cut down on some of the reds although drivers could also do so as I seen some of them do last week durring warmup and lineups.

Daves pus som killer racing together. Had the schedual done early and improved on it. We even knew about the Gaines Memorial turning USAC before RacerRob did

Some things I think might help in the future (Hes promoting the heck out of it no doubt) But getting some different fans to see how great the place is. Sprint/LM night Twin 30s or 40s. Few more midget races (Although I don't know how, There isn't a org that runs dirt within 500 miles. A USAC Sprint Midget doubleheader right in the middle of sprint or midget week. Sprint, LM. Mod reg show here or there.

I enjoy the heck out of what you guys and gals do. If I didn't I woudln't make a 21hr day in the middle of three 12hr shifts and I apreciate it when you get done early when possible. Last weekend home a hour away at 1100 was perfect.

Chuck, just calm them section A guys down a bit. Man their too rowdy!

I am just happy as hell to have a facility like L-Burg close by to race at. My son loves it and I enjoy the 15 minute drive. The past 4 years we were driving two hours to Indy to run quarter midgets. It was fun but I was a tired guy come Sunday.

I live almost six hours away and wish I could go to a facility like Lawrenceburg every week. My favorite track in the country and cannot wait to go next weekend for the Outlaw show. I think since Dave has taken over things have only gotten better, and will continue to do so. Different from other owners he actually cares about what the fans think, and there suggestions, but I really dont understand bashing the place because they are not racing the Mods every week. Dave stated they have more mod races then any track around so if theres a problem complain about the other tracks not running them.. I think your doing great Dave and cannot wait to be there next wednesday, and then again for the Fall Classic. Wish I could come down more often. Keep up the good work.
