I have another really cool video find, along with the YouTube page that hosts many great videos from the past. Here’s Weedsport 1972, featuring Cagle, Kneisel, Lape, Jack Johnson, Harry Peek, and many more.
Speaking of Weedsport, one thing that bothered me this year is hearing so many people over the years complain about the track surface. They built this state-of-the-art facility, but the surface is terrible. It feels like they care more about all the fluff than actually maintaining the track.
It’s all nonsense because they have no idea how much work, money, and effort went into improving it, and the team never stopped working on it. This year brought another new surface, all new clay again, and wow—it made for some incredible racing!
Every race they used the entire track, from the inner barrier all the way to the top!
I’ve heard complaints about the 2024 WoO show, but what about this year’s event? That was the best WoO race that I can remember there. I understand everyone has the right to share their opinions, but it often ends up being a one-sided review, not just for Weedsport but for any track.
If things aren’t up to par, you can bet you’re going to hear about it. But when things go well, I hear nothing. How about saying, “Thank you! You didn’t give up, your hard work paid off, and you made the racing so enjoyable for all of us! Can’t wait for your next race!” I’ve heard some say that, when a place gets shredded online, it’s because they care… lol. Well, if that’s true, why only post the negative and not the positive? If you care, wouldn’t you want to share the positives too? I’ll leave it at that.
