I get it that the promoters make money by having the event on TV, but when the fans in the stands have an almost 4 hr intermission while waiting on the live television feed to start, something is wrong.

I know they held the parade of states and the Lanny Edwards tribute during that time, but that might cover an hour.

Run the program with a 2 hr tape delay? We were on track to see 28 great races and be out between 7-8p, thus allowing plenty of time to visit with old friends before heading our separate ways once again. Ah well.

This was my 23rd straight year attending; and YES, I'll be back next year. I would just hope the schedule is a bit tighter next year.
