    Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a track more poorly prepared at the start of hot laps. Looked like somebody was trying to ration water out and use as little as they could.

      That was brutal. I knew the second hotlaps started nothing good was coming out of tonight. The stands were MAYBE 10% full.

        I watched the first few hot laps and knew this would be a long night.

            Driggers, UMP, WRG, somebody owes the series followers a gas voucher. They're responsible for researching these tracks before scheduling. This is on UMP as much as it is the track promoter.

              Too bad they forgot to burrow the keys for it.

                Some of this could be prevented by getting the purses in line with the times. If the track can't pay the purse of a $10,000 weekday show or $15-20,000 weekend show, there is prolly a reason. Especially when they're charging $25-$30 at the front gate.

                  UMP got greedy by extending the series to begin with. They can take a bow for ruining the Summer Nationals Tour. Go back to 4 weeks with less tracks and end it 2 nights at Fairbury with the winner getting a 100,000 for the championship.

                    I've said for yrs UMP,WRG was a scam, ole Sam the Scam hasn't even been to most of the summer nat tracks. Bob Memer is rolling over. Wrg needs to get it in there brain fans come to see stars in the cars. Drivers need to ban together for higher purses at least moderately decent tracks . Some of the sh!t wholes they go to is a f n joke. Memer wanted all Summer Nats 10,000 whatever happend to that. Ump, WRG is like Watergate follow the money you'll get to the real scam

                          The Summernats started off as 7 races and went to 10 a couple years later. It lost its its way a long time ago.

                              That random trip to Wayne County Ohio is a head scratcher. Especially for $5,000.
