I applaud Michael and Sixcranker for trying to hold the Track bowlers and this forum togeather. Rick & Carl are the glue that always held this site together in the past. When they quit posting, this forum started going down hill before Del ever left and before there was even a hint he was leaving, so I don't think his leaving is a factor in regard to people leaving and no longer posting anymore.
Being a close friend of Rick's, I do know why he quit posting, but I am not at liberty to say nor will I ever say. As for Carl's case, I can't speak for him as I don't know. These two guys were two of the best if not the best at helping people with their problems, questions, and what ever. I quit Track and went to another company for a couple of reasons. First, the Track balls the last 12 months or so with their overly strong MB's and strong covers no longer seemed to match up to my game and the conditions I bowl on. With Rick and Carl gone, there was a lack of help to work out drilling/ball problems for myself and others and after a couple of bad buys and bad decisions, I gave up and decided to look elsewhere for a company(s) with balls that might work for me along with people as knowledgable as Rick and Carl are that could help with ball choices, drillings and etc.
To sum it up, this may and may not be why others have left Track also, but I don't know that for fact and as previously said, I don't think Del leaving had anything to do with people leaving but I could be wrong here.
