You dont want to be thought of as a purse cutter, that puts you in the same category as Gurley and DA. Now you have too many people speaking for the track so first the rain out tickets from last Saturday could be applied to Thursday's USAC show but in this post it says you cant. Who is the official spokesman for the track, DO, Spiker, LPSInsider(do you have a name?), Bill Gardner, Walls???? Please figure it out and tell everyone else to shut up!! Make up your mind, its the same money why should it make a difference? Also you add fireworks on a weeknight when many of the fans have to get to bed to go to work the next day. DONT YOU THINK THIS SHOW CAN STAND ON ITS OWN?? Why do you need fireworks, save them for a night when you dont have a built in crowd. Spiker you have had such a promising start please dont screw it up!
Think I remember this conversation from last Thursday @ ORP?Reverse case of too many Indians and no chief?

If you would read the entire post by LPS Insider he does has a name on every post! Steve does work side by side with Joe and his information should be current and correct. Thanks and hope this helps.

My bad on the name but there are still too many people making statements about what LPS is gonna do and it is confusing. If Steve is the authority then everyone else needs to quit making statements on what is gonna happen and let Steve do the talking.

I sent a PM to John Gurley saying pretty much the same thing about ASCT. They were having three different people shilling the series with contradicting information. I haven't heard a thing since.

LPS Insider is Joe's right hand man. So what he post's is the final word.
The stuff I post isn't made up by me it is what Joe has told me. I would also assume that info from Bill comes from the same mouth, Joe Spiker.
So sorry for any confusion.

I'm not trying to crack on anyone DO I just would appreciate if you would all get your stories straight. One says one thing then someone else says something else and pretty soon no one knows who or what to believe. All the other tracks have one consistent voice on this board, Judy at Bloomington, barb at GC, Jill at Kokomo, Rudy at lawrenceburg, Nunn seems to speak for Brownstown, Keith at paragon. When they make an announcement it is considered as an announcement from the track. If LPSinsider is the spokesperson for LPS then you other guys need to let him make the announcements on here and back away. That way we can tell the difference between speculation and track policy. JMO.

Here is where most of the confusion started: https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/showthread.php?t=33271
