Only complaint I would have is I wish they would have started earlier. Family conked out on me before the All Star main.
Other than that, thought they did the best prep they could with the weather conditions and the pounding the track took. |

I think it's time to move the outlaws to Thursday and run the rest Friday and Saturday.

how did they "used" to do it? Q & heats on Friday and then a quick hotlap & feature races on Saturday? Sounds like a good concept...as long as it's gona be a FOUR Crown...jmho...

It first started (1981) as qualifying and heats on Saturday and B mains and features on Sunday afternoon. Then went to qualifying and heats on Friday....B mains and features on Saturday. I remember one year (maybe 92 or 93) when they qualified on Thursday, heats on Friday and the B mains and features on Saturday. I also remember when the fastest 6 qualifiers were locked into the feature and didn't have to run a heat race.

Cowboy, are you sure about that? As I recall, and memory ain't what it used to be, but I thought it was Friday and Saturday prelims and qualifications and the features were Sunday afternoon. I might be mistaken but I remember plenty of daytime features, I think

Late 80s with the Late Models we ran fri-sat and sunday was consi's and features. Remember one fri night qualifications was rained out and we started at 11am with hot-laps on Saturday and got done at 11pm with all the hot-laps, qualifying and heats.

I know not that many years ago they qualified the Silver Crown Cars on Friday and ran WoO as Crown 1. Then everything else Saturday. I don't see a real reason why they could qualify the Crown cars and Midgets on Friday night and save that time Saturday.
May knock a few guys from racing a Sprint on Friday night, but I don't know how many did that this year anyway. Then all you have is 4 hot lap sets and 2 divisions to qualify. |
