The time difference is a big deal to the teams from the north, and another thing about Tri-State, it is harder on motors than almost anywhere else we race. I have heard of drivers being at 260-280 degrees after a feature down there on a regular basis. Not sure if it is the track being re-prepped before every feature or what it is, but I know we ran at 240 degrees last time there and normally are around 200 as much as possible. That place is normally flat out with the concrete walls real close, so I am sure a lot of guys consider those factors also. The racing is extremely tight in the corners.....It is a great facility, great track, and has great fan support. But when you bust a motor, or hit the concrete, none of that matters to the guy paying the repair bills....LOL
