Re: Heard about Norwalk??.

Track was kinda junk once the sun went down. The Wednesday night gambler race, it snowed for a bit, and we went back to racing. The traction compound wouldn't stick after it snowed, and quite a few big tire cars nearly went into the wall. Was not impressed this week. Usually I stick by Norwalk as being the best in the country, but they made some bad calls this week. During the wheelstand competition, drivers were advised to "be aware" of an oil down at 1000ft, because they were going to wait until after to clean it up. Just seems stupid to me.

Re: Heard about Norwalk??.

Wait...racing after it snowed and people were wondering why the track wouldn't hook??? Why would anyone with any power put there car in the groove? I understand the track and letting street cars run, but at some point the driver has to be smart enough to put it in the trailer and go home.
