I completely understand the concerns with a late and cold show. However in their defense, the pits and infield were very swampy so starting any earlier wasn't really an option. And you can't anticipate the number of red flags an event will have, I mean who expected the thunder cars to have a red? Only class without a red all night was the Racesavers. From the track perspective this show is a big money maker with all the pit pass sales alone. So I understand their decision to get the show in. From a fan perspective I agree that when cars are still on track at 1:30am, it's not fun. The rain really caused a lot of the problems Saturday, including the rough track and needing to keep the infield tires way out which hindered the racing action. I applaud Kokomo for sticking with it and for not cutting the laps in any races. The push off issues definitely should be addressed, safety first and all. Personally, I'd rather be up at 1 am racing on a cold Saturday night over the alternatives.
