I was super excited for this event and went in hoping for the best. Quickly it became apparent that it just wasn't going to work. There just wasn't any room to avoid a problem that presented itself in front of a driver. I love the promotion, the effort and the hard work that was put in to this event. But it seemed doomed from the beginning. There really needed to be at least a 3 caution rule, because a lot of the cations were caused by the same drivers over and over and over and over. There was NOTHING that anyone could have done about the air quality stoppages, and what I can say is that anyone who thought air quality wasn't an issue check your boogers this morning....black as coal!
All in all, it was a major disappointment, but I'm glad they tried and I'm glad that so many people supported the event..it shows that folks around here are starving for some racing this time of year and would support a huge race of someone just puts in the effort!

Not sure on the beer but for $3.50 I got a generous serving of twist ice cream in a cup. #winning

I talked a friend into coming It was his first dirt race :\ he brought his family with him so he spent $200 for tickets when he we to our seats I thought oh no seats where good but I knew the track wasn't going to work but I've seen crazier things happen at the first air delay he decided it was time for a beer he waited in line for 45 mins and they told him they didn't have the wright cups so he couldn't buy a beer lol so we never got the opportunity to find out he'd had enough and I wasn't going to try and talk him out of it my wife and I left b4 the first b-main but I decided I would come home and donate more money so I rented the race online figured I was already 180 in why not I could not believe it actually got worse and after spending over 200 and staying up until 2am as soon as the race ended the stream ended they didn't even give a field run down
A little sad I must say but on a good note he's excited about ft Wayne so he didn't give up |

It was a debacle, no doubt. I'll give them credit for trying, though. I don't think the track is wide enough to carry speed around the outside even if they bank it. If they have this in the future, I hope it works out.

We left after the 2nd midget heat race. Didn't take much for these two ex race drivers to figure out the folks who would stay would be in for a long night and a every tough Sunday due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Here's hoping they folks who put this event on wont be to discourage and will do there due diligence to work something out with the contracts at Lucas Oil. Would be great if the power that the PRI folks have with the city convention folks could help out. Steve Imel |

Will the management of the building even allow a second race? If the NBA books a game on that Saturday night in 2016, your question about a return will be answered.

When you move air out you have to have a great supply coming in to make everything work... I am surprised the CO at Fort Wagne Rumble has never come into question!!! Or no one has monitored it... |

Does this mean DuQuoin or does it mean Dairy Queen? Knowing you it could be either! I still wish I could have been there! Some friends of mine went and invited me along but I couldn't get the time off with such short notice! As for the air quality I can't imagine it could have been much worse than the first night at The Sandbox in New Richmond! And they 'sort of' improved it!
