I've seen allot of posts on message boards and Facebook bashing local racetracks. I've spent the last three and a half years in the Navy and one of the many things I have learned in my three and a half years is that 90% of the problem is caused by 10% of the people. This fact transcends the Navy and applies to life and even racing. In my short time in the Navy I have had the opportunity to spend some time in allot of different places. I can tell you for a fact the western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West Virginia has more racetracks within a four hour drive of wherever you are standing than any place I have ever been combined. That's a fact. This isn't a bad thing but in my three and a half years away from Pittsburgh I have realized that allot of race fans in the Pittsburgh area are spoiled. This is where the aforementioned 10% rule comes in. I really don't think is everyone but the spoiled ones are the most vocal and do most of the bashing. I'm 27 years old and my dad, brothers and I have been going to racetracks for as long as I can remember. We have been to the most premier faculties there are. (I was actually at Bristol when they covered it with dirt) I have also been to some of the most backwoods, grass roots tracks there are. (Interstate 79, 250 Speedway, ect.) never once has my dad, brothers or myself ever walked out of a racetrack without one good thing to say. I've never been to a racetrack that I didn't want to race at myself or want to go back to. In this day in age racing seems to find itself in trouble and there is no clear cut path to success for the promotors. However there is a definite path to failure. Please if you really do have something bad to say about a certain track or another driver keep it off of the internet. You're not doing any good but you certainly are doing allot of harm.
