Doesn't the Angel's own an asphalt company??? Its probably been 5-6 years since I raced there, but anytime it rained...plan on getting stuck.

The Ennis track when built had "caliche"? dirt spread out for pit paving. It was a dust bomb dry, and a mud bowl wet. Someone stepped up and paved EVERYTHING. Much better, although I don't understand the pea gravel??

So it can be done, it's the "want to" that's missing.

My email to Royal Purple:

I was entered at last weeks race at Royal Purple Raceway, after spending 5 days at the track, incurring many expenses other than entry fees I did not get to race. What a wasted week! The problem is the tracks problem, they know the problem, but don't care about the racers enough to solve the problem. This problem has happened in the past and will happen again. Royal Purple has their name on this track, has spent money to get their name out front, you surely have some amount of influence on the track owners. This problem does reflect on your company and future actions taken by Royal Purple can make a difference. The racer has a choice too, they can stop using your products and let other racers know about this problem. I hope Royal Purple steps up and tries to make this the last time this problem happens.

We have been in contact with the owners of the track to see what can be done to improve their facility and prevent similar situations in the future.

We know there are a lot of racers and fans who communicate through forums, websites, and emails, but we appreciate you taking the time to personally reach out to us.
