I assume you've never been to Norwalk? Bader just laid a million dollar plus racing surface and shutdown area last year. Guess he's too cheap though....

Countless times have I seen him cater to the racers and fans. I have raced from coast to coast and NEVER have I seen or heard of a track owner asking you to call him or email him if you are not 100% satisfied and followed with his cell phone number and email address. I guess he's too cheap to care though....

Bader does every single thing he asks his people to do. I've seen him running the lanes, working the water box, driving the scrub tractor, laying vht, emptying garbage cans, the guy does it all. Maybe he's too cheap to hire additional help....

Hopefully the racers will get their full entry back, including insurance cost.You can't race when it's wet and it's really biblically wet.I was planning a trip to Norwalk this year but will concentrate on Divisional races(which is the best show for the bang except when the track personnel is kept at a minimum and the whole race is slowed due to unprepared racers and track officials). I still can't understand why NHRA or the participating tracks don't advertise on radio,newspaper and TV, it's a great show, far better than the pro show, with four people scrubbing the rocks off the slicks!.Look at the stands and you will see an empty grandstand if they decide to go with a pro only show.Time to start paying the sportsman racers for their show value also.
