roll call

This thread was about the state of the track, not fans being in the seats...!!!!!!! Thats what i was commenting on.....The TRACK..!!!!

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.

[dirt crow]

Its packed with plenty of fans and participants every year. No different to any other year.

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......

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....

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..

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

Been a participant there for over 20 years and it has been a downward spiral the whole time.

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

I have just talked to the upper management at Talladega Short Track and they tell me they are as disappointed as anybody on the track conditions today after working on it for the past week and half. They are going to start to work back on the track after practice tonight and try to get the track in the best possible shape to race on for the remainder of the weekend.

And you believed them?

TST will get it fixed, I'm sure of it!
