I lived in Indy for a while and went to tracks such as Bloomington, Haubstadt, Putnamville, and Kokomo religiously. Can I ask why it would be such a sin to try wheel packing at Mercer or even Lernerville one weekend instead of packing the track as tight as you can with 50,000 lbs water trucks and the sheepsfoot. I know that the sprint guys around here are pretty spoiled and most would cry if they has to clean a little bit of mud off the car. I know I know call me a bleacher creecher or whatever you may like but there is a reason that the Midwest has the absolute best track conditions in the nation. They don't over pack the tracks with extremely heavy equipmet and let the cars with the widest tires smooth the place out. This makes for a heavy and very racey track. And please at Lernerville example, if there is a little bit of heavy choppy clay above the racing line let it go. No need to drag all the tacky clay clear down to bedrock after every race. Let the track go, let it move up with the racing. This is just my opinion on everything I've included. Please feel free to throw in your two cents. I'm not trying to be a know it all or anything like that. I just miss the days of cars railing the top at Mercer and a big ol' curb around Lernerville... Just want to help.
