George,
Since you quoted me to start your post, I am obliged to reply.
You are entitled to disagree with I said, but I am entitled to say what I THINK, which is also what I FELT; shellshocked and turned off about the level of chaos on the track, and the behavior of some of the people driving there that day.
Now, having said that, I agree with you and every other member who has repeatedly likened Monday to Black Friday, the situation that day was a freak thing.
I never ripped on Bernie, who I had Gabe introduce me to that day. I complimented Bernie on his facility and told him I would return with interest. I never ripped on the track. I"VE NEVER DRIVEN the track. I made a choice to not run that day because we (as track beginners) felt we would not enjoy it.
I think (an opinion) that most people realize the time and effort that went into Bernie getting the new facilty built and operating. It was under the microscope ever since it was announced. Updates and photos, along with questions and comments, were posted on many boards.
I too feel it is unfair for anyone to maliciously attack the man or the facility. But for anyone who had bad experiences to post them is not an attack. It is a report. It reflects how that individual felt that day. If they feel strongly enough to say they are never going back, that is their business. If other people want to prejudge the place, without ever going to see it for themselves, they are going to miss out. Their Loss.

This thread was all about positive things that happened since Monday. The news provided by those their last night is great news!!!! I am excited to hear that our next visit to the Raceway will be smooth and enjoyable.
