I thought i detected some big problems during the Icebreaker. Well, Don is certainly competent, and adult supervision is sorely needed at Auburndale from the wild stories i’ve read on here. The first order of business will be for Critter to change that rule they have concerning race finishes that aren’t really finished if the track owner decides they need to clean up victory lane and run a few more laps.

Matt–agreed, BUT…

He is the owner. Until that changes…

Imagine being the owner of the place and getting all cranked up during the heat of the moment (read–bent sheet metal, steaming radiators, thrown helmets, all that) and then NOT getting involved.

Maybe you wouldn’t, maybe I wouldn’t (and maybe I would…), but Rex has shown that he will.

And everybody else works for him. Everything is subject to change from the “owner” part on down.

That is kind of the way it works…

The good news:

a) Auburndale is inherently a “good” track.

b) I joined Karnac because of that finish (well, maybe that is good news {lol})!

I was thinking the same thing, if I raced there I’d be excited! Hopefully Rex will let his team do their job and reserve his calls to the big things. I heard an NFL coach, I forget which one, say that he let his assistants do their jobs and then he makes the big calls, like whether to go for it on 4th down. I’d think it’s the same way in racetrack ownership.
