From the year 2009.

More than 80 responses discussing track safety changes and racer decisions.  Mostly about changes (or no changes) for track safety.  Matt Mladin decided to not race at Heartland Park Topeka and retired from racing after that year. 
Yes, it is an 'old topic' but I think the majority of the posts are, and always will be, relevant.

Here is the googly aerial view of HPT.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/38%C2%B055'35.8%22N+95%C2%B040'34.3%22W/@38.9258136,-95.679555,1926m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d38.926617!4d-95.676197?hl=en 

For those of you that "were not around" when this happened, here is an article that puts the HPT event and his retirement in perspective.

Just ran across this one......
It is about WERA versus CCS tech inspection.
I started road racing with WERA so I see why they are so "tough."  But y'all can read this and decide for yourselves.

Tips for beginning racers.

When I started racing the internet was not allowed for ordinary public (military and research institutions only) so it took a lot longer to pick up advice.

  Why do so many new racers quit?

Still a good topic to discuss. 

I have more ideas why, but they are issues out of individual control.
