Are the pits still VERY VERY rough.
Are they prepared for my kind of car, or do they not even want us??
Big difference between being 9 second friendly, and 6-7 second friendly!!

I've even called several times & sent emails, nobody has ever called me back??

If it was sunny and about 32 they wher open on Sunday's
With track prep

This was 10plus yrs ago

Back when PSJ had a ARE 422 and a axel came out of his 9 in turning the corner in the pits
Only hurting a brake line
And my brother and I fixed it so he could limp home

How is tech and prep at Muncie on a normal day? Been tree once and it seemed like a nice place, but that was for RPM transmission's track day so they weren't teching and prep was great. I need to change a few things to be legal but planning on getting that taken care of this summer. Also want to try Osceola out this year. In the past just went to 41 because it's and hour away and tech reasons. (I need a dsl and helmet)

41 is still owned by the widow.
The manager is the same POS thief that took over after Norm passed away.
I personally contacted the owners son.
I showed him the posts & replies on several forums about what a POS loser the manager was.
His own posts threatening and treating people like crap.
Bragging about ripping people off and how stupid they are for keep coming back.
The guy just does not give a damn what his father built/saved is now a crap hole, joke of a track!!

US 41 and the Nevinger name are the laughing stock of the drag racing community.

Here's how completely stupid some of the lemmings are!!
I had one tell me they all hate the manager, they know he's a POS loser, and thief.
They know its the worst track any of us have ever been to, they know they get ripped off all the time.
Then he was so stupid to say they are still going, and will probably go more??
Also that if they got a new manager, most would stop going without even going and checking it out??

It makes no sense, and I was one of the idiots that came back after being gone for years??
At some point, enough is enough, and until that loser is gone,
the place will stay a crap hole ripping people off every chance they get.

I was at opening day 1993, and raced 4 days a week for years.
I own my own business, so I worked 1/2 days on Wed & Fri, so I could be there when the gate opened.
