I liked seeing Tony Stewart in a open cockpit single rollbar machine

I didn't get in till noon but I understand there was some hot laps to start the day at 9. Don't know who or how many but since there was none the rest of the day that is what led to the big gap. Don't worry though after we add a few more letters next year it shouldn't happen again.

I always got a nap in. No big deal. Could go back to your room, but you might miss something.

I know they held the parade of states and the Lanny Edwards tribute during that time, but that might cover an hour.

Run the program with a 2 hr tape delay? We were on track to see 28 great races and be out between 7-8p, thus allowing plenty of time to visit with old friends before heading our separate ways once again. Ah well.

This was my 23rd straight year attending; and YES, I'll be back next year. I would just hope the schedule is a bit tighter next year.

Seriously, The advertised start time for C's, B's and A was known long beforehand

Definitely a long break on Saturday

I didn't even check a schedule... was there one? My bad for not knowing / checking. Would be great if it were possible to advertise everything up to the C's finishing at 5p - then a dinner break - and hot laps starting back at 7p

But I realize with dirt track racing and the unknown, it's kind of hard to do.
