It's true we all need money, but a little maintenance while it isn't on its income generating days should be thought of. This is just unbelievable.
I think they have someone who mows and takes care of the property. The grass on the track is no big deal. Heck, some tracks will put straw down and mix it in to help retain moisture. But yeah, I'd like to see someone run the place year round.
They are only worried about speedweeks. They will disk it up in Jan and work it for their races then let the grass grow again.
And yes, it is a shame to see it like this.
and THE only way that will change is if ALL the locals BOYCOTT it during Speedweeks....yes I know that will be tough but there are other shows around that can be seen....I have been to 41 Volusia Speedweeks and will break my speedweek streak as far as Volusia by attending OTHER tracks.....and the monies STAY in FLORIDA.....they will get the out of towner's like always but that is only about 1/2 of there crowd and the week before when the WoO sprints are racing 2/3rd are local....so put the pressure on them and attend BRP, East Bay, NFS or any other track that is racing and will be racing during OUR reg. season here in Florida
Guess they did not want the track looking like a field on the web. Amazing what a little bad publicity can do. Might make people think twice about speed weeks.
