Here's a report from a friend who races in the both the Sportsman Pro and nostalgia series events that he posted in another forum...

The trucks show always gouges the track, they used to do it before a refinishing project. But exactly what damage he left. I havn't seen or heard yet.

I heard the burning cars were dropped OFF THE TRACK not ON. So that's one glimmer of hope. Rumor was Charlie was pissed that the tribe wouldn't buy the safety equipment and timing system, and he was going to do as much damage as possible. For once I can say he surprised me, BUT I haven't seen the track since the dark event.

As usual he did put the finals of Az grudge and National Dragster challange cars out 'in front of the crowd' on a jet-fuel coated track. Darren Dozal went into the wall HARD around 200'. Safety for the racers was never much of a concern,,, I didn't expect anything new out of him for this fiasco.

CHEERS to ANY managment that takes over. It's bound to be an improvement.

If I hear any verified news, I'll let you all know.
Hopefully, the new management will be able to fix the damage and have the track prepped for Steve's event weekend.
