First let me clear the air on this post 1 I am not a professional writer 2 I am passionate about racing 3 I love Jesus first 4 many things are important to have a balanced life. 5 I will not enter dramatic dissusions.
With that said here is my heart I have always loved racing and in particular motor cycle flat track most likley because that is what I did for many years and if you must know Sprint Cars are second but in the entire scheme of things all racing is valuable to me and many more fans, last night at Mercer we were treated to a very good show by an amazing field of Sprint cars and plaease don't beat me up over a few numbers (36 410s 26 305s) that put on a remarkable show and then the 20 some stocks were very good and as many would call them those little noisy cars ( MOD LITES) with a field of almost 100 remember I am not real good with numbers could be a few less but with the show they put on who cares.
I have the honor of talking with these drivers and by and large the the one comment I heard at the end of the night from the ALL STARS was see you next time, now on the other side the face book was lit up with many negative comments and again I could be wrong but here is my thought as to who they were fans and they are entitled to their opinions just as I am ,however whenit is only done with the intent to be mean and critical and make others look bad in my opinion that is wrong.
Is Mercer the perfect track no is any track without faults and free of dust no, but on the dust side there is an option we could pave the track and paint it earth tone but then it would really not be a true dirt track we always have choices but from my own lifeI know I have made some very poor choices but will not do it again.
In closing let me be clear on one thing in case I have failed to so far I love MRP with all its dirt dust warts and wrinkles and pray I can go ther for many more years please be positive and watch how things will seem to change for you.
With respect
