I for one do not enjoying going to a NHRA track knowing I’m going to spend 1K in fuel, plus entry and race fuel only to be give a ill prepared track.

I agree 100% It is the responsibility 100% of the tracks to prepare the "SAFE" track if the owners do not know how Call "Mass Traction" they know how , BUT at one time it was up to the racers to let the track people know the track is unsafe is appropriate not just complain to each other but talk to track decision makers civic with a solution to your complaints is best

Until some of you guys decide not to go down an "unprepped" track, you will continue to go down "unprepped" tracks. Problems need to be solved when the problem is happening. Complaining on this forum is doing very little. Grow some balls and stop your car on the track and let them know that this is not what you're paying for!!! I believe David Barton did this once!! Remember "you are the customer"!!

If you don't remember, Dave was fined for stopping on the track. Maybe stopping on the track isn't the best idea to prove a point.

The decision in the tower is the key. It was clearly an unsafe situation here and 1st round of the Baby's. TAD and CE refused to run then they called SuperStock. This director needs a conscious or some one is gonna get hurt. They all are noprep nonsense oriented until tragedy happens. Not a professional attitude at all.

[Larry Hill]

Austin brought up a good point if a racer is slow to go down the track showing displeasure of poor track prep. I does show a little selfishness, and I have been that person, to the races behind in the water box. If some of you were behind me during a slow roll down track, I apologize and the track owes you a bigger apology and a refund. We did not get what we paid for!

Duane, sometimes desperate times require desperate measures ….how many times can a reasonable racer spend the time and $$ only to spin on a **** track. I don’t know who … nolongerracing is….BUT I like his style.
