Wasn't there and thanks for breaking it up. I do get what your saying and any little mention of something wrong is taken way over the edge as badmouthing anymore when it's meant to say, Hope they do better from now on.
Burg gets it both ways, If it's hard, it's smooth but eats tires.. If it's wet it eats motors, If it's somewhere in between it has holes and rough In fact I seen it on about every track this year. Paragon from ate tons of tires to why are they making us pack the track that ain't even close to being dry, to being so dusty nobody could see. Bloomingtons been fairly good and Kokomo is kokomo. Im in a rut of three weeks without a sprint car race. But seen Lucas LM's are running Florence which is doable for me on thurs. Guess Im jumping ship for a bit. Just going to go and enjoy what I can, when I can. Hoping we have enough cars left with all the shortages to have a sprint week. It's not just tires. Motor parts are hard to get and some other things.

They knew before a car got on the track they majorly majorly oversaturated the track. It's a mistake sure, noone is perfect, but you admit it and you spend the rest of the night trying to fix it, if nothing else for safety reasons!! Not blow it off!! And again the track conditions was only one of multiple problems and things that have been going downhill in a hurry the last 2-3 races minus Midget Week. This sure the hell isnt about what I wanted, you apparently didnt hear all the drivers and teams did you??? Didnt think so. This is also talking about a veteran promoter. An experienced promoter. Someone who knows dirt tracks but it got oversaturated??? It's not like he is a rookie. It's not like he doesnt know what hes doing. How can you oversaturate it that damn bad??? It was a damn swamp!! As I said looked like track prep for MotorX. You cant remove water, you can always add when needed. They seen it with the cars after hot laps and qualifying...holes everywhere, 6-8+ inch deep ruts everywhere...NEVER TOUCHED IT WITH WORKING EQUIPMENT UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE THE FEATURES, 1 time the entire night to be exact. Again the workers on the infield seen it, would detour the cars, said something on the radios, NOTHING WAS DONE...I sat right there and watched every bit of it!!!! Running a truck with floaters to smash down ruts that had water splashing out of them is not working the track. They NEVER worked the track until right before the Features and they used the wrong equipment on top of that!! What I'm stating is FACTS, not opinions. It being too dry and dusty is a hell of alot safer then holes and ruts like that with cars running wide open. On top of trashing their cars and flipping left and right. As far as your happy medium theory, yeah percect world talk there. But jeopardizing safety, pretty sure someone at GC knows the difference. Mr. Gappens didnt have a problem finding it on a weekly basis did he??? They may want to find it quick before they lose all their stock cars and enough sprints that there wont be a race. Cant run a weekly show with just a dozen or so Sprints and that's it!! THEY DID NOT TRY AND ANYONE WITH A WORKING PAIR OF EYES WHO WAS ACTUALLY AT THE TRACK WOULD KNOW THAT!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!

I’d like to test that when wet it eats motors theory, never seen it 🤣. We love the Burg though! I’ll take my chances on motor. I just want to maximize tires!!

I was at Gas City the last two weeks. Maybe it will be better next week. On the plus side hot dogs are $2.
