DOD....East Bay Efficiency

[a25rjr]

Totally agree! Folks come from all over the country to watch races for a week, and East Bay made NO attempt to get the Weds race in ( which was mostly cancelled due to no track run-in equipment to do it efficiently ) and then pulled plug early on Sat for basically same lame reason it seems. Plus, if you bought the weekly pass ( same total cost ) they just said thanks for the donation! Won't ever plan to do the whole week again, that's for sure...

You may not realize this, but the tracks surface is controlled to a large part by the tide. It was high tide at race time each night. That was the reason given to the drivers from the officials.

Surely everyone understands how much money the track lost due to the cancellations! It was absolutely packed Friday nite so Im sure it would have been the same Sat nite as well!

You were never going to see a race on that track on Saturday night, especially not before their curfew. It just wasn't gonna happen. The tide was a 1.6 at 645 pm that day. That's high, even for a high tide. No water was going to leave the track until that receded. I agree they lack in overall track prep equipment. But i dont think that was going to make any difference on Saturday.
