What was the crowd last nite? Was it a sellout?

Hopefully the attendance is better tonight. Too many seats to be a sell out.:rolling

The main grandstands and the pit grandstands were packed, the stands down in turns 1 & 2 were fairly empty

1st trip to L-burg since track rennovation. Absolutely awesome. Someone said earlier this track was not proven yet. It seemed real racy to me last night. Kudos to the folks at L-burg.

Come feature time, the top half of the track was a tough place to make a living. Especially in turns 1 and 2. The guys who went up there and slammed it in would often times pay a price. Stanbrough was a good example. He drove a hell of a race until the right rear disintegrated on the backstretch. It was a heartbreaker for Robert Ballou, as well. With that said, the heats were better than they were Saturday. Maybe we'll have the best of both Worlds, tonight. Looking forward to going back tonight to see the second chapter.

what time did it end last night. thinking about comeing down, but not willing to set there till midnight to watch the features

Danny Burton · 7/10/08, 2:41 PM

Right around midnight. Lots of red flags will do that, though. Your call. It is Sprint Week, and for many it's worth the wait between green flags.

No wrong decision, just want you to know that no track can guarantee what time it will end.

It was the 1st USAC race I've been to this year that didn't end before 11 p.m.

I agree. This may be my new favorite track. I'm making the trip back down there this evening.

I think it was done around 11:30 last night.

The sprint feature checkered at 11;20 according to my sundial.

i agree there is nothing you can do about red flags, that being said tracks can do some planning for it. I think we are going to give this place 1 more chance. Yes sprint week is worth it, the other tracks keep things moveing very well, this track just seems to run slow for some reason.
