worse race ever been to

this past weekend tops them all at St. Louis the things i saw and heard are almost unreal.
will say the Div. 3 crew did all they could to make this a good race but you know one bad apple ruins the whole thing .
the track temp was thru the roof, so all the prep work they tried to do did little.
the biggest grip i have is the treatment by the staff (ok was just one) did little to help.
the "you have to video or still camara from the bleachers" then anouncer said from other side of wall was a little hard to understand.
how many people put there driver in water then turn on the camara.
to have staff walk up and tell ya can't do that . stand in front of camara till car has left line.
the go "buy" a press pass to use a camara on track was one of the wildest things i have ever heard till.

the real kicker was the "securty" man (sic) saying he hopes the boss will do what he wants to do at next year's nats. NO spectors in pits. have the PRO drivers do a autograph sesson somewhere away from track (think he said under bleachers spect. side)
YEAH this will work. NOT
well in closing they have got my last $$$ won't be back on my dime john might want to go and i will be there but to go as a payin spector this won't happen.
ok done venting.
congrats to all the winners jim
