| I was wondering if anybody else has any issues with the amount of water being used on the track to keep the dust down i was talkin to a few guys there who were having trouble with mud plugging up their rads causing the cars to overheat. Can there be less water used, all the water is doing is making it a mud track not a dirt track, maybe only one run around the track with the water truck would be fine, the track is much beter when it dries up a bit.

| i think that less water might make for some better racing because after the first couple of races its kind of impossible to race on the outside

| I think less water would be good to my car started to overheat and so did 37 all because off mud stuck in rad. The track is better for racing when its dry not a mud pit. bern get some the loose dirt off the track there had to be a foot off mud or more on the outside off the track. The fast cars can't past on the out side because its to deep and the slower cars are in the inside so you can't pass unless you push the out off the way then your pissing people off and causing damange. SO COME ON BERN WE ARE THE DRIVERS NOT YOU SO WE KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

| Don't recall any dust flying around this year. Watering the track keeps the dust under control?

| You nasty beast. When there is no fans there will be no racing. Keep the track wet. The track has been watered before and nobody had trouble with there rads. The track has been watered for as long as the track is open, How come now all of this?

| Yes i agree it keeps the dust down but there could be alot less water used to keep it down and yes i know if there are no fans it makes for shitty race day but if there aren't any cars to watch it makes for an even shittier race day dosen't it.

| I agree that the track needs less water. Yes it needs some to keep the dust down, but it doesn't need to be a mud pit to keep the dust down. A couple passes with the water truck would be sufficient and would make for way better racing for the drivers and for the fans to watch. It's been the same problem for a long time. I have had overheating problems because of the mud countless times over the last couple years and I think if the right balance of water on the track was found it would greatly benefit both the drivers and the fans as well as the track as a whole. Why not try just a couple passes with the water truck next week?

| Yes a few less passes with the truck would be great, lets all get together at the drivers meeting and let them know what we all think, remember if there aren't any drivers wanting to race or going to race, they will agree.
