Case in point. I keep mentioning Traction Action, the track near me. Now I don't race there (yet) but I know plenty of people who do so I go to hang out a lot. Even served as Tech Inspector for a couple trophy races.
Over the last couple years I've seen something that simply boggles my mind. There are some racers that will come in, take a look at the current track design, and leave saying "let me know when the track changes, then I'll come back." WHAT!!! And I'm not talking about casual racers. I'm talking about guys who are dedicated to racing. What are they thinking? What makes them think the track will even be there when they decide to come back?
I consider myself dedicated and loyal. Comments like that make me double face palm
Don’t like the layout. Jump are too small, we does the track have to also run on road. Yup. I’ve heard them a lot. A number decided one of my local track was more favorable to on road. So they stopped coming.
One of the big advantages of carpet is tracks can be adjusted if something isn’t working. Maybe it ran great as a single test buggy. But doesn’t race well.
I’ve seen more then a few pack up and leave because they didn’t like the layout
