Good field of talented drivers, feature was good, heat races were a bit boring. Concessions ran out of drinks before features and some food.

 

What was the 50/50 winners amount, all I heard was the number being called, not how much it was worth??

Piss POOR family business ! Worried more about how much can we make , not about what can we do for the fans , car owners , drivers . Will not/have never spent money to make money. Tony Stewart was impressed with his first impression of the facilty LMFAO ! Invest some money , charge less , draw more competitors and fans . Matt , Ben , Ty did you spend some time talking to Tony ? Wouldn't have cost you a dime to learn from a real business man ! Jared didn't think it was worth showing up, probably has to give back a percentage of his winnings. Crown Jewel facility going to shit , need to ask the legend to be the promoter or Stagerwald

Was a great night of racing.  Most of the people sitting around me (who were not PPMS regulars) seemed to enjoy the show.  The majority of race fans will pay to see a good show, and most of the shows at PPMS, regardless of the rough-around-the-edges facilties, are worth seeing.

Honestly, the only people I heard complaining all night were 2 old dudes sitting behind me that said they were track regulars. All of the sprint fans around me seemed to have a good time.

I thought the racing was good. Cars running top middle and bottom all night. This was only my third time being at ppms and each time I think I gets worse. Ran out of food and drink, bleachers blocked off, and a sound system that only worked right half the time. I was just glad the lights in turn 3 were able to be fixed quickly.

I sure hope you have sobered up since posting this. That was one of the most idiotic things I've read. Get your facts straight before spouting off with your POUR grammar and spelling.

Great night and great show, I paid the 40 bucks and have no complaints whatsoever.

It only takes 1 to stir the pot. Put the lid back on and move on. They got a good show in, and hopefully it will continue to improve. Why Jared was not there was odd, but, it is what it is.

<_<You can tell that some of the people who complained about the race do not know how to watch racing there was good battles in every division if your there just to see who wins then your wasting your time.. As for the food I didn't see you post anything when they lost money on to much food. The grandstands maybe they were not completed since they were replacing bad wood you would or to improve the track as for the complainers on here I don't give them any credit .

I believe Jared has a new trailer and it was not ready yet, I am not 100% sure this was the reason but there were progress pictures of them working on it over the weekend.

Or it could be that anything but a win is a money loss at an 1100 to win show and he doesn't have a sugar daddy funding his ride.

Where were the good battles in the super lates?  Didn't seem like there was 2 cars within 10 car lengths of each other...and the winner was gone by about a half lap.

 

Aside from Greg Wilson absolutely killing everyone, there was some really good racing back through the rest of the field.

 

The only thing I would really change about the show aside from pre race issues, are the intermissions...you can't start a show late and drag it out all night and expect to get the fans back that traveled to this show for the next race.

What's the complaint around intermissions and dragging the show out all night?  I left just before the crate feature started and was on the road by 10:30.  I thought that was plenty reasonable.

And I am pretty sure the intermission was all the All Stars doing anyways, they did the pill draw on the front straight.  But either way you were out by 11:15 on a saturday night, I see no issues there.

I wish the show was done by 8:00 so I have to find something else to do on Saturday night! That way I can spend money at two places instead of one.
