Hello all and happy Memorial Day.
I’d like to start by saying thank you
To my staff, drivers and race fans.


Last night was a huge night and frankly not the turn out we expected. I’ll be honest I expected about 80 cars and we got 123 So we were not totally prepared for that but the show went on and we stepped to the plate. There was no long half time there were no gaps in racing there was great racing in fact that never ended. We started about 730 and finished about 2am. 6.5 hours with 1.5. Being one class. Including the long red.

Yes we could have parked tighter and better to start. We could have added more staff to help move the gates faster. We could have worked the track better we could have bought more food. We could have had more drinks. We could have finished faster we could have started on time we could have not run out of transponders. We could have put a time limit on B-Mods. We could learn how to predict when and how many people will show up to be prepared We will learn from these things.

We always have room for improvement and if you can’t tell yet this team is that team that won’t quit until we get it there.

I want to say it’s hard to hear the fb keyboard warriors say what they say but guess what it’s part of it. We can’t make everyone happy all the time. But rest assured we will make most happy all of the time.

ECS has only had 5 races with 2 soft opening races last October. I’m damn proud of this team these drivers and these fans to WANT TO SEE THIS Track’s SUCCESS.

Just five races. And yes I see the same people say the same things about tracks that have been doing this for decades. So I have to say although it stings to here the bad it fuels me!! To be better to continue to strive for better and we will prevail.

We will be one of the top tracks in the Midwest and that’s just all there is to it. One race at a time one week at a time and one season at a time.

We weren’t blessed with great dirt so we have to find what works best for this dirt and there’s never going to be a consistent Mother Nature. She will throw you curve balls weekly. Rain wind sun clouds all in play each week.

So it’s not a routine it’s a day by day Strategy on what to do that changes everyday bc of old Mother Nature.

No excuses just actions is what this team will deliver.
I know what we need to do and we will get it done!!
