Some of us remember good track conditions at Terre Haute with practically no dust! The new dirt brought in in 1999 screwed it up big time. However, I've also seen the track as it is prepped much better than the last several races there. There's been an obvious difference since Reece O'Connor parted ways with TEI. I chose to skip sprint week there for the first time in many years and am glad I did after seeing the video and what happened to the people in the grandstand. I hope things change so I can justify a return. We'll see......or not.
A couple of things,did I like the dust at ISW,nope,did I enjoy the racing and spending quality time with friends,damn sure did.Showers are for washing the dust off.
Most of all we still have THAT to watch races at.
The idea that Terre Haute must be dusty by definition is not supported by past history. Not to sound like the old back in the day guy, but those who started following dirt track Sprint cars from around 1990 on seem to accept dusty conditions as the new normal.
