    Used to bring a camcorder and camera every week during the years the O'Connors were promoting. I know he was there then. He might not have been there while Smitty had the Track, but he has been there.

    Would be a shame if Macon closed down. Wouldn't lose any sleep over K3 or FC.

    Every track gets tons of negative criticism, even the ultra successful tracks. The well run tracks tend to take the small nuggets of truth within that criticsm and attempt to correct the perceived problems. The poorly run tracks don't bother to attempt to fix anything and blame their failures on an "ungrateful" customer base.

    If you go look at the SN history on DoD, you can see Bloomquist was there. Especially during the 2 or 3 yrs he won the SN Championship

    Never been there, what sort of track is it and what were the complaints?
    I was a highwayman
    Along the coach roads I did ride
    With sword and pistol by my side
    and I am still alive

    Just checked out their FB page and 85% of what I read was positive. The 3 complaints that stood out were: 1) late starting 2) wet paint on bleachers ruining clothing and 3) No Bud light The rest seemed appreciative and upbeat. So for what it's worth.

    Sounds par the course for a dude blaming social media, more like social skills it sounds.

    I remember Bloomquist there in the early 90's with a sprint car rearend in the car...was bad fast through the corners for its era. I believe he was there for a Hav-A-Tampa show as well back then. Along with several Summernationals races.

    Last time bloomer was there was the year the sn paid 100,000 roger long beat him in the heat race and in the feature he was about
    To get lapped so spun himself out. I also see k3 is looking for a new
    Promoter, (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word).
