Last yr I was plenty happy to attend,as most weeks the racing was over at a decent hour. Normally I dont care how late the racing runs,but I have to be up and at work at 4am.

I can see later nights on the horizon this yr...........
Looks like a lot of figure 8 racing for you this year Quinn:2:

Finally, a track has went back to the roots of sprint car racing. Great to see them qualify, now only if other tracks would follow suit.

How is this a kickoff to sprint week when it is six weeks before sprint week takes place?

I would be willing to bet that if you walked through the sprint car and modified pits and asked every team... would you rather qualify or draw for your starting postion in your heat? A majority of the teams would answer... QUALIFY.

Last year, I saw 74 modifieds qualify in only 37 minutes. If the show is managed right... finishing the night at a reasonable hour will not be an issue.

Waste of time to qualify I prefer to see the show at haubstadt pill draw for the sprints and mods and the mods are on a 8 minute time limit for the heats and 12 on the b mains and then they can take has long has they want for the feature since it is run last.Glad to see one promoter knows how to move a show along.Qualifying is for drag racers only,the only format that is better is the sprint bandit deal like they run at osky if you start on the front row there for the feature you really earned by racing your fellow competitors on the track not running by yourself.

Thanks Kirk. Now can we get Lawrenceburg listed at the right size on the USAC schedule?
