Btw - heats are already running without one set of hot laps for sprints so the announcer was incorrect.

We need Hot Laps so we know what changes to make before the race that's not safe!

Hotlaps are for nothing more than making sure stuff isn't falling off your car. If they call for sprints and they don't go, that's their problem.

They weren't called for hot laps - they were called to wheel pack and "didn't get there quickly enough" so they were punished with no hot lap session. That is what was said to drivers. I just saw the damion gardner hauler pull out - anyone know why?

I would have to imagine that he wasnt going to run if he didnt get to hot lap, but im just guessing he is pissed and wasnt going to put up with it

No Hot Laps are so everyone gets the track ready and everyone gets a feel of the track to set your car up for the track conditions! Pre Race Prep is making sure nothing is falling off your car! I take it you have never been in a sprint car with a comment like that!

From what it looks like your just a Rookie who only posted his 2nd post. I know i am as well but i do not get on here that much. I typically only follow the race updates so try and stay current and realize what the situation really is Chad
