And while it's fine to say you don't enjoy the tractor show, but to point to it as a reason to not attend to me is absurd because otherwise they run a tight organized show and still get the races over at a decent hour. Speaking more generally now, I've been to many track run more classes on a big night on a worse track surface and still take a half hour break with the track just sitting their while it starts to get late. Now that's something to complain about.

I’ll take the tractor show any day for the surface and the racing provided by Tri State. I’m still amazed every time I hear someone complaining about it. I’m glad to see a WOO Kokomo date but an October 24 date is dubious in my book. Definitely a crap shoot weather wise then. I hope it works

my biggest take-away from Knoxville this year was they didn't touch the track after hot laps. all 4 nights the track did pretty much the same thing. it can be done. no support division either.
p.s. Nappanee has a wonderful steam tractor show in September. well worth a visit. |

I agree, I was excited when I read Kokomo was back on the WoO schedule. Then I saw the date and thought that is a poor choice to run that late in the season. It will be a week after the Klash, which is often a very cold event with lows near freezing. I hope they will try for an early start.

Chief How long do you think it takes Tommy and crew to rework the track 15 to 20 minutes? I"ve been to some tracks were it takes that long between heat races. Once again some people bit^h about hung with a new rope.

Looks like Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 has been added to the schedule for Friday, August 7th & Saturday, August 8th. If it was on there when the schedule was posted I sure as hell missed it. Pevely is on the schedule now.

Knoxville is a completely different track than Haubstadt. Different tracks need different things to put on the best show possible. You can’t just say track a should do it this way because that’s how track b does it
