I'm glad Spiker took over and the changes and work he has done to the track are great. Lets just get the track alittle bit better.

I bet it was over a foot and a half lastnight
I totally disagree. I think the knocking down the cushion before the b mains was absolutely the right call. By knoocking it down and moving the tires in, it made for a 3 groove race tracks a times during the sprint a main. The track was greatly improved from last week to this week and I am sure it will keep getting better and better

that place is a joke to me no ambulance or fire truck?
they had to wait 15 mins for trans care to get to the track to pick up mark i know hes fine now but what if he wasnt or a car was to catch fire what happens then?

the track was horrible
it started ripping the bottom panels off are cars
tearing the steering wheel out of are hands
thats not a race track to me
and makeing 35 dollars to run the b-main in a sprint car
spikers no better then before

Joe has had all of what, a MONTH? To get things in order, he took over in the middle of the season, to say you won't go back after his second attempt is not being fair to Joe. Give him time to work on the place, throughout the season and over the off season and I GUARANTEE you'll change your tone

there is no comparison and I am sure that many others on here will agree with me... if you can't acknowledge the progress of what Spiker has already done then the place will be a better one without you. the improvements are not going to happen overnight.

Bill,

I am sure you are aware that some folks can't see the forest for the trees. Maybe this is a case in point?

night and day difference in the track in my opinion. Bill is 100% correct in saying all will not be corrected overnight. I never thought I'd ever say I looked forward to going to LPS ever again but I have and will continue to support Joe and his crew. Congrats to my cousin Brian and his crew on a super win lastnight!!

Bill i don't know any other way to put it. People like that must be blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.

The changes and the effort have prompted us to go back again next week. The ole place just needs some attention and time. I think given time, LPS can return to being THE Saturday night track.
