Well there were 15,000 people there and they turned away 5000. IF Tony was to race there next year every seat would be full and tons of people would be in the grass or standing all night. But after the way the track management screwed around and then Tony had to be rushed out of there after the races to make a flight for Daytona and Tony was made out to be the bad guy in that deal instead of the shit for brains management that turned a show with 35 sprints and 20 street stocks into a mega marathon fiasco I wouldn't blame Tony if he never comes back.

Turned away 5000? Really? I watched the North gate pretty close all night, and yes, I did see some folks walking back up the hill, but nowhere near 2500, (assuming half of those 5K came in the north gate.) Even if Tony would've won, I don't think he could've been expected to hang around after the race to mingle with fans.. I never heard one advertisement saying there would be a "autograph session" before, during or after the races. Tony made an appearance, that's all the ad campaign said. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that he would not be hanging around after the races, with his busy schedule.. no matter how the night went.

for as much time as they spent on the track it should have been the greatest race ever, but it was far from!! like said before it will fill up again next year if they include Tony which I hope they don't, have him come to the all-star race or another special and charge $25 to get in. not on a night when you are already going to have a packed crowd. for me unfortunately I had to work at 6 the next morning and didn't get home till 3:30 will not be making that mistake again! I enjoyed seeing Rico met and talked to him after the races, hopefully he sticks around!

When Stewart ran with the IRA at Plymouth a few weeks ago on an advertised appearance to race he stuck around a couple of hours signing all autographs wanted. But the difference is the races ended at 8:30 pm rushing the program due to rain.

I'm not saying the track was great, but if it was so shitty, how does the first car out (Rico Abreu) on his first time on the track set quick time against a WoO field if the track was so wet?

Stagger that's the point, if Husets would have ended at a reasonable time I am sure Smoke would have hung out for a while to mingle with the fans, at 1:00 AM he shouldn't be expected to hang out for 3 hours for a meet and greet. Rizzo III "......."!

For you supposedly being some sort of West coast driver know it all with some sort of "secret" information regarding your infatuation with Kyle Larson and Rico I'd think you'd know more about dirt track racing than you really do. Im glad you pointed out that one of your boys set quick time but ANY real fan knows a dirt track can be "fast" at the exact same time it is "shitty." It's called being narrow and wide-open which results in totally shitty racing. Maybe you could text or call Larson's mom and she will give you an explanation on this theory. Most any race fan knows how it works already. You'd also know the first guy out probably has the advantage of a fresh track. Your love affair for your two boys is obvious.
