        This social site has a lot more competition now........couple that with the laugable moderation and the ridiculous off limits favoritism they show to certain posters and sponsors and you have where we are today.

        It's a cool site......but other than that, it's just a cool site......it isn't a life changer like some make it out to be.

          what i read a couple days ago is they cancelled the ump lates from this Friday show because Peoria is running and there wasnt much interest. but they didnt drop the pit pass price which was $40 but did give a lower price on admission and alotta people were complaining. its a shame i wanted to run the run what ya brung show for fun and i like the track just tough for me to run on Fridays because of work.

                    Anybody got a picture of Bloomquist at Kankakee? I won't believe it until I see it. It must have been the year he ran the Summer Nationals.

                      Was during SummerNationals. We ran some after race practice laps and he asked for a 4 wheeler ride to the front stretch. Good conversation with him.

                            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.
