    Not only did I believe them I watched them. And they will work on it again tonight and it will be better tomorrow.

      Been a participant there for over 20 years and it has been a downward spiral the whole time.
      Sometimes I think I get off on the pain!

        there is no fixing the mess they have made, these holes are measured in feet not inches.

          In all fairness to TST .Every track I have seen put down new Clay in the south mainly have took at less 6 to 8 weeks of racing before the track is worth a crap..You can run heavy equipment on it all day long ..It still is not the same as a full race weekend..I knew this was going to happen..They get it fixed but it will be after the Icebowl..

            So I'm baffeled at that statement.....If you are just a normal spectator and knew that if you put new clay down that it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get in shape, then why did the upper management let it happen...There's no excuses...I was going to go there and race this weekend. I'm glad I didnt make the trip to be disappointed. There are drivers that make the haul and expect a track to be ready to race on.... Then they wonder why each year people decide not to race at that track...I'm not a basher I'm a racer, but take Responsibility for your actions.... I just watched the video of last nights practice and wow those are ruts and I wouldnt tear my car up on that track...I wouldnt be surprised if drivers dont start packing up their cars and leave!!! Maybe next year they wont make the same mistake, but the question will be how many drivers will take the chance to go their again after this years debacle.....Im not....

                    your right about that. no matter the condition of the track, the lack of passing, and the God awful bathrooms, the place is packed out with fans and cars year after year. gotta hand it to the tst staff. they know how to make a ton of money and not give a sh*t at the same time. amazing......

                      Actually the thread started about the Roll Call, the track is often in bad condition at this time of year, it normal for conditions here. Other tracks have the same problem from time to time in GA.

                          Now I'm amazed.....Almost all of the posts on this (Roll call thread) were from people from the state of Alabama....People that only live 15 minutes from the track.....So im curious what do you call them? There in your state of Alabama....Maybe you should read before you start yelling with those capitals...Again as a racer, I was commenting just like everybody else about the track....Your probally not a racer and dont understand hauling your car from state to state and have the track not be ready to race...You tear up a Rf or LF and thats about $500.00 dollars worth of parts just to try and win....But I know that going in because I race and that comes with the territory...

                          So Racinred you have a nice day!!!!

                              we are called the same. lol. ......ignore it man. i've been called everything on here by drivers, fans, and promoters. doesnt bother me, cause usually when it happens, somebody gets mad because its the truth.

                              so your from colorado. i really enjoy watching kelly boen race. just rarely get too. good luck this year.

                                The only trouble you would have is the boys from Alabama would smoke your butt, I doubt you would even qualify. Ive probably been attached to more championships than you have won races so forget about your high handed BS.
