Don't worry, USAC results are posted to FB (just not that this site anymore...); so that should reach a good amount of people from 24-35 years old, at least...

I'm not track prep expert, but I got to say, wet tracks have been rough tracks at the Big E. Normally I would keep tilling and water the top. Like between each feature when you have the interviews and stuff going on. Might even have to do it after the b mains due to the heat. With that track going hard slick, I'm just not sure it would have worked. I can't imagine that all of the tractors were gone from the infield. Every single time I have been there, equipment was not lacking. Was it just not used? I am reminded of the Dome race last year. On Thursday night it was smooth but dry. Pretty follow the leader. Everyone was complaining. The next day in the drivers meeting they told all of the drivers, it rained over night, I don't want to here any complaining. Lets just say there was defiantly character to the track the rest of the weekend. Me, I like character. What I don't like is all of the keyboard warriors online complaining that the track crew is going to kill somebody. No matter what track prep, I'm not sure you will ever get a great 50 lap crown race. The midget races were pretty good.

How did it rain overnight inside a dome? That one doesn’t have a retractable roof.

Is character defined as not being able to see the participants?
