Hope they get the scoreboard working before elimination!!

The staging lane crew did a good job only because racers came when called. Everyone was laddered according to qualifying. The crew sent the cars nose to tail in staging with lane choice up to the drivers. Lane 2 was all A/SA lane 2 B/SA and so forth.
We are parked in the grass on a main thoroughfare and it’s fairly busy with cars and other forms of transportation. In the evening time when things slow down is when the kids get to sit in the parents lap and hold the steering wheel. There face can barely hold the smile it’s so big.

Just a fact no one can see the scoreboard anyway the lights are weak They needed to be updated for a national event I would think so, Plus the Pa / Radio never worked half the time and this is a National event facility Even the parking was a zoo with some racers getting to park on the pavement and some not allowed to park on pavement i almost left because I am a "Pit Snob" and A "Starting line Snob" No excuses for a Professional ran track to have any issues after this is not the first time for a race like this

There will never be a National Event there again! They have had their day in the sun. If you guys are so unhappy about the place just don’t go! All the whining won’t fix anything. Or maybe you could buy the place and do it rite!

A concern do the decision makers of the track know the issues their customers are having at THEIR FACILITY? or do they know but don't care ?? I also can have the answers to solve the issues as most racers have also, Replace the scoreboard lights is one. next train the starting line crew on how to prepare the track for National event quality type race cars which make a lot of power,to have the pit parking available for the top ten race ers in points saved for them the rest is first come first served don't have a parking person being bossy and being the first contact of the event being negative

Ya know Don, I really don't mean you or anyone else any disrespect but all of these subjects and more are why I don't even bother putting together nice "stuff" anymore. If the track is junk (and will only handle junk) then it only seems like the right thing (to me) to race down it is junk.

Hey guys, I did a video rolling home from the Jeg Sportnationals. I deal with a few muppets on the road, but for the most part it was a good trip. I talk about, "is it worth it"... Its my take, and would love to hear yours.

Ken, you are so right that we should be grateful we get to do this. The best thing about racing, "Winning". The second best thing, "Losing". Means we got be there, and hopefully gave it all we had. I don't mean we should like losing, far from it. But its better than the third best thing, "Not there".
And we know what the fourth thing is.
