So tell me then what good are you accomplishing for the sport of racing by bashing a first year track on a message board? What does it accomplish for you that sending a message to the track would not? You say you are very supportive but it does not seem that way to me.

And the snowball begins! How the hell does he know what has been done to try and fix it? He said and I repeat he said it was being pushed off. These owners are racers. Do you really think that they want people to get hurt? They aren't a corporate track. They work up there 7 days a week. They are trying to make racing better for both fans and drivers. If you can't see that Tricity is a better place now than it has been in years, you have your own issues.

I responded to FanJim24. He seems to understand that this is a first year operation and that blasting a track on a message board, twitter, or Facebook is not doing them any favors. Mercer a couple of years ago is a prime example of what happens in that situation. Minor constructive criticism starts the ball rolling until you have a full out avalanche. This board is very good at full out avalanches. With that said, I believe that the owner will get the problem straightened out. To insinuate that they are pushing the issue off and aren't trying to fix it is rediculous.

Well if not wanting my friends to get hurt due to negligence makes me not a race fan, so be it. You notice I didnt say a word about it until it happened for the 3rd week in a row and 4th time this season. Theres been plenty of opportunity to address it and it still hasnt. This isnt something minor like a shitter not working or a speaker not working. Thats an extremely dangerous situation thats being pushed off. I want this track to be a success. I want Applefest to be a success. You dont think those NY cars are going back to their buddies and telling them the lights went out 3 times during the modified feature? Do you think that makes it appealing to race there? To act like its just a blip is fn insane

Who was talking to you?  Get over yourself.  This board is not all about you tough guy.

The track was idle for how long, and only part time before that? They admitted that there would be bugs in the system. I'm sure that the lights will get the rework they need in the offseason, They're understandably patched together right now. I'm willing to give this track a pass on things this year. They are working through problems they didn't know they had until they went racing. It's a good track, with a good program, and a promoter with his heart invested, you can tell. 

 

Let's not turn him into Bill Altman at the end, or the Mileys if we can help it. 

Spoken like a true race fan.
