EAMS: "the worst show I have even been too"

[hoosier]

USCS Winged Springs - LMs - Thurs. night

This was the worst show I have even been too - even worse than the crap at Cherokee.

I arived about 6:30, and at 10:30 I has seen exactly 12 laps of racing. This is fan abuse. The Winged sprint cars get four laps per minute, so they had raced about 90 seconds. Actually, the flagman (or some idiot in the tower) threw a red flag - stopping every car - when a car went over the bank in turn two (but kept going and was back on the backstretch by the time the flag came out). This means all of the cars have to be push-started again, so this six laps took a long time.

About 10:30, and the track already a dust bowl, and the Winged cars heat races were approaching, the water truck made three laps. The sprint cars got on the track, but decided it was too wet?? So the fan abuse continued, as they waited, and then did the LM feature. Finally, this abused fan got 25 laps of pretty good racing.

But the track was again a dust bowl.

After more time wasting, the sprint feature got started about 11:30. The dust was so bad families were leaving.

A decent sprint car race, but it would have been 200% better if the track and USCS had moved a little faster and got the feature started about 10:00.

They cancelled the spring heat races, and added five laps to the feature. Unfortunately, some sprinkles came about lap 25, and the show was over at lap 27.

Worst show I've ever seen - a waste of a lot of time and $20 - and I'll never go back.

If this track cannot prepare a track with enough moisture for two 25-lappers, they need to get some help (I suggest contacting Mickey Swims at Dixie)

If they cannot get more than 12 laps run in four hours (and 62 laps in 5 hours, 30 min.), they need to buy a clock.

I'm voting with my dollars: NEVER AGAIN.

WOW that is nothing new at EAMS. The dirt that is. It is always black dusty when we go there.

Well don't get mad at EAMS, the USCS leased the track, and called all the shots for the night, not EAMS officials. I was there and understand your frustration on the time, I too felt like it took entirely to long, especially for a week night.

Part of racing is DIRT and DUST! EAMS is a smaller design track than Dixie, and I agree there is less dirt flying at Dixie than at EAMS. However, EAMS is an awesome track to drive and to watch. You did go on a bad night and you should really give it another shot before you bash the whole season.

I agree, give them another try, as fas as the dust, ain't nothing no better than going home after a great night of racing all covered in red dust and proving to the wife I was at the races.
