CLake...A Farmed Track is a better track?

[Zonks32x]

I enjoy the USA Nats and plan to attend many more, but I would not pay for the PPV if I couldn't go in person.

Just my personal opinion...but I have never, nor will I ever pay for a racing PPV.

1) The drivers don't see a penny of that money
2) I'd rather invest that $$ into the local dirt tracks near my house or buy a t-shirt to support a driver
3) My computer/TV screen can't replicate the smell of race gas, sound of a race motor, and dirt in my drink.

I get some people live hours from the nearest dirt track and PPV is their best option or only option...just not for me.

Well this was the first and last time I'll buy that PPV. I fell asleep waiting for the dang thing to start. PPV production was great, but the fireworks, driver intros, and track prep made my decision about NOT ordering next year. Put the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) cars on the track and lets race. Must've made a killing at concession stand. Just my opinion, racing should be concluded by 11:00pm local time, excluding when mother nature is involved.

Pretty sure the roughly 10,000 fans in the stands, and the staff at Cedar Lake could care less for you sitting at home watching on PPV for the first and last time.

We that were there, had a great event...And yes, the concession lines were long the entire time.

The fireworks and driver intros were outstanding (as always).

Without waiting for said track prep, darkness would not have happened for those intros and fireworks to take place.

All tracks are not created equal, much the same as people. One track needs a lot of prep and the next is wash and dry. Not prepping a track to get a bad race and save time is not a good idea in my opinion. Since when is getting done early to go back to a camper or motel room, more important than the race. Everyone has to be somewhere, why not be somewhere with other fans instead of a motel room. Everyone is in a hurry. Slow down and enjoy. Make the best of it or don't go.

The thing here is they run a one day show in two days, because the gate doesn't pay the purse with only one day. That makes it feel like they are dragging out the show, because they are. Would anyone go if they charged $80 for a one day show? Same with the PPV, $80 plus for a one day show, is not a bargain by a long shot.

When the racing is good I am in no hurry to leave, but when it's bad I'm ready to hit the road right after the LM feature.

I've exited stage right with plenty laps to go on a locked down track. Why put ones self through the misery.

Im gonna agree with Marlar on this one. He said they should have just put a little water on it and not farmed it!
