I think that any track that runs more than one support class during ISW is showing no class,but plenty of creed and disrespect for the race teams.

These teams have got to pack up all their equipment,try to get a little sleep and move on to the next track.

What is so wrong about getting the Sprint feature done by ten or before, so the teams can get some rest before the next race. By the time they clean and service their cars and get to Kokomo it will be an almost 24 hr grind.

I would give any thing to see 4 classes. Instead I am stuck working this weekend. Be thankful you are able to go to the races. No racing for me

I have been a part of this particular discussion in a lot of places and people can get pretty emotional on either side. Here's my deal, if a track wants to run four classes for a big show, fine. I get it, it's about making money. BUT, please.... whatever class it is that is running for the big money that night, please let them run their feature first. That way, especially with sprint week, the teams can load up and get ready for the road and the fans who, let's be honest, made the long drive to see in this case the sprints, can get on the road too.

seriously if ya wanna have something to ***** about work for a World OF Outlaws team, usually it's around 300 miles give or take between race tracks. How far is it from Gas City to Kokomo 55 miles?

Yes, Correct what does this have to do with Sprint Week? Bigger Teams with Budgets makes more racing easier! USAC Sprint Week is a lot Different a lot less money!

If you want to voice your opinions on this board, you must first:
A) Attend every race, everywhere, every night
B) Announce that you've attended every race, everywhere, every night (Tell everybody where and when)
C) Offer no criticism for USAC , and don't recommend that USAC fans join their forum
D) Not be a race car driver or a family member of a race car driver
E) Be far more concerned about ticket sales than the quality of the shows
F) Not understand how sprint car racing has historically been tied to the Indy 500, or not be concerned about the fact that it's not anymore
G) Allow free T-Shirts to buy your loyalty

And it helps to be a man who owns a camper or motor home.

Sometimes the support classes help cut the track and keep it in a little better shape.
