As for the no one cares comment, I can't argue that a lot of people don't think it's a proper way to race. But in this case, I'll point a finger at the track itself.

I can guarantee you that if the sheets had been sent to Rick or any other DRC reporter, they would have been posted. They are no longer able to cover the expenses of sending someone to every race, but if the sheets arrive, they go online.


As good a promoter as Bill Bader was, he never valued media coverage. It was years and years before he ever wanted to provide a place for them to work and publicize his track. I'd heard stories he got upset about some coverage years back but I don't know if that's a rumor or truth. I do know his business theory at the time was to cater to people buying entries or tickets (which he did better than anybody) and he considered media as an uneccesary burden. That view still exists with other operators.
