This is what we get when we don't have a crew of paid and proper flaggers for the series....

Might as well just stuck the flag in the ground next to coopers body and went back to their seat.

Seriously... What a joke. I'm at work and was screaming at my monitor for them to do something. Lazy ass literally did nothing.....

Looked like the official that rode up on the pit bike was short with the Asterik guys as well, though I’m guessing they didn’t want to get hit and were waiting on the flag.

Some dickhead has ruined Lorettas and Lorettas prep, or lack there of, is ruining tons of tracks. 

The chest thumpers that say it's good usually dont even ride, and if they do, they suck even in good conditions or they're the guys who are doing the prep and only wanna exert effort once.

​​​

​​​Lorettas prep in early 2000s was prime. Just like most nationals. Some prep in between on naturally occurring dirt with the occasional saw dust or mulch section.

Now its let's see how deep we can rip this sand/sdirt we put here the day before and add 36876433577 gallons of water to make the shittiest roughest deepest racing surface possible to make everyone struggle. All while their non ridden asses sit n collect everyone's dollar bills and they only prep once a day if your lucky and just add more water.

 

Lorettas prep sucks. Call me a pussy, but slot car tracks are not fun in any way. Wanna "slow it down", add a damn corner, not a quagmire of a surface. I love rough outdoors, but not when it's intentionally man made.

 

I get at high point it can get muddy and this is outdoors. I just hope they help the surface n not set the rest of the day up for slot car gayness.

Why can they not leave the tracks harder so you can sweep outside, square up, block pass etc. Slot car racing is a joke, and super boring for average fan browsing the channels. Idk who came up with this idea or when it happened exactly, but the old national races that had non slot car lines were fun to watch. 

Bunch of short memories in here....That's exactly what they did at Hangtown and everyone complained about that too...It rained a lot yesterday and they had a 50/50 shot of being prepped properly or what we saw this morning....as you know weather can be somewhat unpredictable...

Meh... God didn't till the track 8' deep before a rain storm.. I miss real motocross as you can read my reasoning above.. a dozer couldve moved the slop off...
