Charles, I too am from the pre-internet day’s. But for better or worse those days are gone. And if you want to try to be successful, you should have a decent internet presence. I have no idea what actually happened down there, but a fellow fan who I respect was very disappointed with how it all went down.

Sounds like the new promoters might have pissed some people off which I don't blame them for being mad price of fuel and time getting there I was walking out the door to go when wife told me it was cancelled which I was even surprised they even tried to race with all the rain we got friday afternoon and overnight...

Second time out,everybody makes mistakes. A very small percentage of R/Os are well planned. I plan on going over there a few times next year.

When in doubt Gas It

I was very upset about the way the cancellation went down at the time. 4 pm and I was 10 minutes from the Track. I am willing to give them a Mulligan and I hope they can make something of the place in 2022......So much potential in that place......we will see

I for one, have found it very difficult to be perfect. Bob

I understand being upset about the late cancelation, but other beloved promoters have done the same thing and no one says a word. Do you think people realize when race tracks go away they generally don't come back, ever? And there isn't a plethora of new ones being built either.

We got cancelled at gas city this year very late, and I don't blame them for it. I was already there along with a few other teams and then the tornado siren went off... They made a call early that didn't work out. It happens. Vernon is pretty often tough to work in after rain, I think the river going around it doesn't help much. Either way, they made a call and it wasn't the right one. Nothing to get upset over, it happened, it'll happen again somewhere else as well. Good luck to Rock Crest in 2022!

That is the worst possible name for a speedway 30 miles from Mitchell...
