Then another time a few years later parked in the grass, I stepped out of the trailer into a 5-6 inch river. Even if they can get the race in, the fun level is way down... AND THE OVER ALL AGGRAVATION LEVEL IS WAY UP! Driving through a mud hole here and a mud hole there. And small portions of those mud holes do make it to the lanes, starting line, and down track! It's just my opinion that they should call this week, it could save a lot of blood pressure medication. Reschedule or carry over to next week with a "leave your stuff here free pass" if you're on the property. This event is a big deal to racers...there's plenty of drama and aggravation from a lost round, or car issue, even with beautiful skies. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE YOUR ENJOYMENT...and not sit in the rain IMO
You are certainly entitled to your opinion but at the same time you're pissin' on our wheaties .A little positive thinking goes a long way ...............I'm glad to be here - even in the rain i'll make the best of a bad situation ! ! !
