Date Posted: 08:16:13 06/07/04 Mon Author Host/IP: 137.7.247.18 I can understand everyone’s frustration with the race being canceled on Saturday and maybe it could have been handled differently. The thing everyone needs to think about is this: Mr. Dedman was told by the power people that he would have power no later than 10:00 A.M. Saturday morning. From what I understand they were having problems down the line somewhere and that in turn affected the progress from that point all the way down the line. There is really nothing that anyone could do at that point. This may have been a new situation that had never arisen before and maybe there was some uncertainty on how it should have been handled. Different people react to different situations in different ways; that is what makes us human. I ask that we not go on a bashing spree to publicly degrade the progress that has been made for the track and the race series to this point. Could it have been handled differently? Yes. Was it? No. I am sure that if something of this nature comes around again the same mistakes will not be made. I am sure it was not done with ill intent and that Mr. Dedman was acting upon the information that he received from the “powers that be” so to speak. As far as the driving, money and such; I drove almost 7.5 hours, got charged for two days in a hotel that I only stayed one night at because the race was called after the checkout time. Gas money + hotel cost + food + not making anything back due to no race = one broke guy right about now. I will continue to support Prescott Raceway in every way that I can. I sincerely hope that this mishap has in no way damaged any relationships that any racer or fan has with this outstanding race series. Let’s not dwell on the problems. Let’s focus on positive solutions. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
