I'll guarantee you one thing about track prep at Mecca. Visit the bar enough times it doesn't matter nearly as much.

66 and Scott both have points. As a fan, I think we deserve an honest effort to prepare a track for the best possible show. Foremost a track that is racy, and also the least amount of dust to the crowd. I believe it was Charles who has mentioned a couple times about the race at benton county a few years ago. He's right, the racing was superb, but very very dusty. I'm pretty used to it and was able to get through it, but some less seasoned fans who went with us were covering up more than watching. What good is great racing if you can't see it?

Rough estimate around what time does this show normally get over each year? Thinking I need to make the trip over but have to work at 7 a.m. on Sunday.

Would love to see late models return and pay $10,000 for all divisions. Drop the outlaws and have hot laps,qualifying and heats on Friday with post race party. Saturday semis and features.

I would love to see late models again, but why drop the outlaws? I went to the world's 100 this year after a long long absence. I've always said that the heat races for that are worth the price, and as intense as it gets. Here's my rub. All those great moves and and hard driving are on display at the 4 crown, without fenders! If you would rather see late models over the woo, your not paying attention to winged sprint cars at all. Maybe not for the win, but there's hair raising moves through out the race, and at the big E, 2.5 seconds faster per lap!

You gotta drop something if you add late models, 4-crown. i love the outlaws just like to see 4 big features on Saturday night, would be great.
