    I like your humor Drop Shock. I guess the rule makers don't even notice what the 6 car looks like on jackstands and then on the track. They have done nothing but make it harder on the guy who isn't as sophisticated.

      I have an additional observation. I never saw Earl Baltes use a skid steer for track prep or repair.

        Don't try to be a promoter; you likely would suck at it.
        No one can predict the future and know that the track would have been this rough or known how many dang cars that would have shown up to race.
        You deal with what god gives you.
        The best promoters often think outside the box.
        For the one who stated just cancel; that's a good idea after all the teams, crews, fans, and series officials are already there after they spent the last few weeks getting ready and loading up the trailers and haulers and spent all that fuel money.
        The best a track can do is make the effort to get the shows in.
        Nothing in life is going to be perfect especially in motorsports with the outcome.
        They say you have to be nuts to want to be a track owner / promoter.
        If thats the case you can put me in that category because for the longest time that has been something that I have wanted to do myself, so I try to understand where that are coming from before I open my mouth.
        Before you ask if I've got money invested in a race team and have ever worked on a race car or a torn-up race car the answer is yes, and I have been for a long time with some of my close friends.
        Building a new 604 Crate LM.
        Took us 10 months to get a seat we ordered from Butlerbuilt last March (2021).
        If it wasn't for Chris Ferguson, we were going to cancel the order for that seat.

        Just my thoughts.
        they still dont get what your saying , or dont want to , but i agree with your thoughts as well , and appreciate your up dates because I,m not there or have any streaming .....

              I agree.
              There are only maybe 3 or 4 people on here that actually get what I said.
              I think Tyler Carpenter said it best after winning the Gateway Dirt Nationals "Punch Those Buttons".
              Even the racers that driver 4 cylinder put in a tone of effort.
              And no I haven't read any of the replies to what I said in my initional comments on this thread.
              It's not worth my time.

                Anyone who puts on a show, is allowed to make it a $hit show, we got it...

                The best promoters know what they have (their track surface and the content of their program) and what to do with it. They don't just say "you never know, sure ain't my fault".

                    Hoosier. So put your promotor shoes on and tell us. What would you have done differently if you had that same situation?

                        the racing was great at volusia last year, best it had been in years to me IMO. idk why they put new dirt on weeks before speedweeks started, but its always a gamble especially in the winter months. Im sure itll be worked out for the DCN's. I will say the crate classes actually had some good racing for once too

                          I was there when the world of outlaw sprint cars went back down in March, and the track was great that night. Not sure why they made the decision for the change

                            there were at least 66 flips during the Chili Bowl. Ya mean there was that many of the late models ? ? ?

                              That would mean that some cars flipped twice.
                              If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
