Track was great for the first 30 to 35 laps of the feature after that it wasn't good at all. It showed with all the flat tires and drivers knocking down the wall.
After 2 am est is a bit long when they started before 8 pm est.

Actually...............the track sucked for the first 30 laps. Always does till the slime gets blown off. You must like single file racing?

I love watching the WoO and will continue to. This race was an anomaly. That said, I hope they move the show along a little better tonight. Strangely for me, i wouldn't even care if I were at the race in person. I always pull my camper to the races so I'm in no hurry at all. But I was having a very hard time staying awake last night watching on TV.
On a positive note, the racing looked fantastic!
I'm heading to Knoxville Wednesday morning. I won't even look at the time at all while sitting in the stands.

I'm the same. If I'm there, hell, take all night, I've got whiskey and beer.
At home... in the comfy chair... I get pretty tired pretty quick.
Last night after the midget feature I was like, "The hell with this, I gotta get up early and go to the gym. I'll check the results in the morning." Well, I woke up to my house getting douched by a red cell t-storm, (which we've had approximately 72.5 of them here in PA over the past two weeks) and figured I'd see where they were in the program. I ended up watching the entire A main. Although, I was beginning to doze off on some of those red flags.

There is an excellent article in the newest Area Auto Racing news about tracks all over the country that have stopped having weekly shows this year, most of them have run weekly since the 1950's and 1960's.
This 6 1/2 hour long and too long in general race program bullshit has got to stop NOW!
Short track racing is gonna die if something isn't done.

He’s right
i don’t believe I’m exaggerating that I saw at least 75-100+ leave before the feature was over at 1:00a
the guys I with are moderate fans. What’s the chance you think I can get them to pay $35 and come again

You are dead wrong they were 2 and 3 wide the first 30 to 35 laps. The last 20 the after the restarts everyone fast was running the top. There wasn't a bottom at all the last 20 laps. If you went in low you slide the whole way to the cushion coming off turn two or four. A good feature just wish the last 20 were as good as the first 35.

Jacob allen ran 3rd on the bottom looked like he might take the lead at times the last 15- or 20 laps. Tv must look alot different I was 20 feet from the racing I saw what I would classify as mostly single file racing for at least 20 laps.

Good race tho (I only saw last 22 laps)
Shark team 3rd & 4th.... that had to be their best finish ever as a team, right? WAY TO GO!

Jacob, was on the low side for about 2 laps after every restart....then he had to move to the top once they got going. If he didn't move back to the top after 2 laps on each restart he wouldn't have been 3rd.....he would have further back in the running order. I guess you didn't hear when they interviewed Jacob after the race....did you?
Watch the replay on dirtvision they were 2 and 3 wide most of the first 35 laps. Then the track went downhill very quickly cars sliding from the bottom to the curb every corner.....I am talking the top 10.
