They have tried to speed up the show and it helps with Silver Crown time trails and Last Chance Showdown on Friday night.

Share your plan with us to speed up the show.


Racing starts at 7, not 8. Simple as that. No reason to start at 8. If it is delayed by accidents, weather, so be it.

It isn't so much the late hour, it is the drunks like yourself tooling down all the 2 lanes afterwards at 2 in the morning.

Be nice if they could figure out a way for the benefit of the Silver Crown guys that they didn’t have to be there 2 nights just to run 1 race and not be the last race.

Probably better off not being in heavy exit traffic on two wheels.

Drunks like myself? Nice personal attack on someone you do not know. For your information it's been a long time since I have drank alcohol. If you think I'm a drunk by my avatar that says "drunk wives matter" my wife passed away 12 years ago the avatar is sarcasm that flies right over your head. So mister I'm better than you what is your definition of a "drunk"?

I bet people seated around you at the track just love your incessant complaining. Whoops used a difficult word there here is it's meaning for you (going on and on: not stopping or letting up).

By the way had they started at 7 they still wouldn't have gotten finished until after midnight. Nice try moving the goalposts to fit your narrative.

I might be remembering wrong, but I believe at one point The 4 Crown was a two day event with all of the qualifying and heats on Saturday Night and the consi's and features were run on Sunday afternoon. I suppose you could move the qualifying and heats for the Sprints to Friday night, that wouldn't save time but it would transfer it to another night. Another thing they could do is save the post race celebrations till the end of the night, they probably lose 1/2 hour doing that stuff, but they are usually working the track during so they aren't really wasting time. I really do believe that the 4 Crown is just a great event that is going to run a little long. Not a race for newer fans but you know what you are getting into. If you are so bored that you feel the need to leave then it probably isn't for you anyway.
