A 2 hr wait between qualifying and feature with only a 12 lap last chance race will not bring new fans to the sport. Or keep folks coming back.

Bell was hooked up and put his name in the record book. Quite a drive by Larson.
I am glad the promoters held the event. It is nice to see tradition carried on. 98 appropriate laps, gives a driver time to race, time for things to happen. Thanks for all involved in making it happen. Looking forward to many more. |

Since when does USAC control the number of cars that show up?? They got 34, the top 20 in quals make the feature. 1 drops out so you end up with 13 after quals that arent in. SO with 13 cars and 10 starting positions left open you want 2 qualifiers and a last chance race?????? C'mon Man!!!

Two hour wait is unacceptable. The format posted was when you had 60 plus cars at T-Night. With the lower car count, what 30 plus, there were not enough cars for qualifying races. Unless you wanted five car races I guess.

They said top 14 to main then 2 qualifing races with 8 to the main
14 from 35 =21, 2 10 car races with better cars would have been better than the bs for 2, hrs I don't ***** much but the really sucked for the fans. JMO and I'm sticking to it! Bob |

EVERY time I have watched this race online there has been an insanely long wait before the feature. Kids dance contest, presentations then the Aggie kids talking on the mic for another 1/2 hr. Its like this every year. I've come to expect it and take about an hour nap to ease my bloated belly You could have gone out and got your Christmas shopping done and been back in time for the feature.
