Arrow Team Aruba Wreck From Fun Ford Orlando

Another great track prep job or lack there of by OSW, 95% of the faster cars could not hook or were skating around !


Right click save as the link below. I compressed it to keep the file size down so it is not super clean but not to bad.

Did you know that in the paperwork you sign (at least it USED to be) it says (or at least USED to say) that each individual driver is responsible to check track prep to make sure it's safe for them? This little tidbit is hidden in the small print, but it takes the ball out of OSW's court so to speak, and puts it squarely into the drivers hands. Shady tactic, but it's used by almost ALL tracks. If it wasn't, the tracks could be sued for millions and would not exist at all. When was the last time I actually got out of my car before staging to check the track? Never.

I walk the starting line area when I get to the track but that can change when the next car goes down and leaks something. And who knows what it is like down track. Of course the tracks have you sign away any liability or people would make a living out of suing them.

I have never seen the OSW disclosure because I have and will never run there as long as the current management / owners are there.

Yeah, after two times there, I have decided the same thing. Bradenton for me.
