I wonder what the baby bottle and the "No Whining" in Joes ad mean???

Does this have to do with the jumps being cut down?

The jumps were never cut down during the event to my knowledge. I know that joe was disappointed in the size of the jumps from the start.
After running for 2 days on saturday morning he changed the mogul section and i will be the first to say i spoke up and called it for the BS it was. After I spoke up I think most people agreed.
On wed. or thursday we went and looked at the track. The main Jump was like a bad supercross double. 15 ft straight up with a 30 ft gap to a different angled landing. We suggested that he take away the gap as well as the landing ramp and build it as high as he wanted but to make it so some of the slower cars or less experienced guys could still be competitive. In other words no matter how fast or good your suspension was you could still fly the jump.
Our overall input to Dewey was based on years of Mickey Thompson racing.
In the beginning his tracks had huge jumps and giant holes. The result of which was the competition was separated to quickly but more importantly by the end of the night he would not end up with a full feild or a good parity of competition for the main event.
We simply suggested he build a race course and let the racing be the entertainment as opposed to a Obstacle course.
Anyone that was there saw plenty of good competetive racing.

I don't know the politics of the race, but I would agree with you on this one Grant. I would rather run on a course where fast smooth driving was what it took to win the race. I'm not suggesting not having the jumps and whoops and stuff. I just would rather see technical as opposed to a bunch of fouled up jumps that tear all the cars up. They're still sand cars, not Monster Trucks.
