Why do some fans get so upset over the use of provisionals?

    Well I have to agree. The pc of crap EPJ is wheeling around the track has to have a spot reserved. If you hire EPJ you can have LUCAS across the front and side of your car also. It's a shame because EPJ is one of the good guys out there. Those cars are good for crate racers and that's about it. You can't have a reservation every night and yes it does contradict what I said in a earlier post. I guess because I'd like to see him racing for a win again. Maybe that would make them change something on the car to get some decent lap times in so he isn't in the back of every heat race.

      He did a few Covid shows. That is not the norm. You know it. No one can conduct business like that week after week.

        There was that one guy that tried to finance all of his own shows. It didn’t last long.

            They had to get that one particular local driver in the show somehow.

                8 last night. On a track that was used up after hot laps. This falls on track prep crew that's for sure, but still 8 provisionals, I think woo was embarrassed by the lack of prep also. Then of course you have to have 604 and 602 late models to s*ck every last drop of water from the surface. That's called money grab from the people running the joint.

                  He sure as heck isn't showing up, renting a track, and putting on a show week after week. If he did, he wouldn't owe fans a thing. He would be above criticism. But that's not it at all.

                        “Hey sorry about your bad luck and dropping 6 spots in points, unfortunately you are the only full time guy not to make the show. Here’s a $100 and hopefully you can dig out that hole.”

                        Don’t insult people that actually race with that tow money bullish!t. You have $40 invested on that night. Teams have 1000s invested to compete significantly less. To be honest, your opinion on provisional means Jack sh!t to most racers.
