Kokomo Allstars
 

Watching Kokomo on Flo-racing, and pretty surprised at the low fan turn out. Wonder what the reason is for that. Maybe cuz a lot more people watching on Flo?

I'm here and it's a good crowd. Backstretch stands packed

I'm on the back stretch and most folks around me are talking about going to work in the morning. I'd say late Sunday nights don't appeal to the working man/woman.
Btw, it's after 10p with two A mains to go.

We considered going but glad now we didn’t. No reason for this show to be drug out this long.

The show at Gas City on a Saturday night no less was done before the A main started tonight. Absolutely ridiculous lack of efficiency on a Sunday night.

plethora of reds haven’t helped. planned downtime is always a touchy subject as it seems to be those nights that an abundance of reds follow. bad luck is at play with regard to the time of night as well.

Ah the advantages of being on Central time :6: But now I’m getting sleepy watching this.

At IBBR,unbelievable.

Did Flo say what happened to Kofoid?

That was a pretty intense corn hole game though……….

I gotta be up at 4AM tomorrow, but man was that race worth the lack of sleep tomorrow! What a damn good two features! Kokomo did not disappoint as usual! Unusual inefficiency tonight.

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

Someone explain to me why Kokomo had to have a cornhole tournament game at 9pm tonight on the front stretch, taking up 25 minutes. Even if for charity, why not have that early in the evening. Used to be you could go to Kokomo on Sunday night, and other nights, and get out a reasonable hour. Not lately. The post above noting "unusual inefficiency" is right on. Another post was about the low fan attendance. Running two features after 10pm is certainly not fan or working person friendly.

Believe it you Dirty guy you!

I feel ya brotha.....

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

Were they fixing the fence during cornhole? Plus I dont think you can blame the "inefficiency" all on the track. The All Stars put a 18 minute timer before they started the feature during which time they could have run the local sprint feature but I would imagine the All Stars didnt want that. They also took up plenty of time bringing out the drivers for the dash draw. What I am trying to say is if you are going to a nationally sanctioned race you cant expect it to be run the same as a local show.

This was a S&B promotions race. Same people that did the WOO race in April there. They just leased the track for the night. I agree, the full blame can’t be placed on Kokomo.

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

Problem with this is that the normal average person attending this race does NOT know this and if they left early due to a long running program, well Kokomo Speedway takes blame and a sour taste in the mouth of the casual race fan, which is the one that you do NOT want that to happen to. Just saying..............

On the plus side of a smaller crowd and a later night than usual, getting out of the back stretch parking lot was easier!! 😆

Did anyone hear or see what happened to Buddy Kofoid? Did he hit someone as the yellow came out? or maybe hit the fence and i missed it?

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

So you are saying that before the race they should say "we have no control over how long this race runs" or "we are not responsible for when this show ends", come on where have you ever seen that. Does TSS or Terre Haute do that when WoO runs there..... No. When you go to any race you are at the mercy of all different factors that may make the race longer or shorter including the actions of the sanctioning body if it is a sanctioned show. So tell me do you have a solution to this problem that would satsify the fans, the sanctioning body and also in this case some very generous benefactors who were putting lots of $$ in drivers pockets? Or are you just complaining about a race and track that you more than likely were not at?

I agree 100%. I did see quite a few people leaving during one of the many cautions/red flags during the ASCOC feature

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

Sadly most wing shows drag out the only time they hurry is to leave.

I’d say you need to re read my post there bubba. I did not say anything about a solution to a late running Sunday night program. Really not necessary to try to interject anything else or try to put your words and ideas in my post. Just pointing out what I thought was an obvious conclusion that many folks did not see all that they paid for due to the late hour and most likely bad mouthed IBBR at the office water cooler Monday morning. Nothing more. Nothing less. Thank you kindly.

Re: Kokomo Allstars
 

I read it just fine but you missed my points entirely. 1) This was a sanctioned race that the track was rented to run so Kokomo had nothing to do with the running of the program and 2) If you want to throw shade then be smart enough to offer a solution. It is really easy to sit on the sideline and complain about a race that you didnt go to but a little harder to offer constructive criticism on how the situation can be avoided in the future. I think you will find that most if not all appearances by the All Stars and Outlaws in Indiana are not promoted by the track and instead are promoted by a third party so in that situation the track turns over the way they run the show to them. So again I ask how do you want to fix that situation. and BTW my name is not "Bubba"

Your really not telling anyone on here anything that we don’t know. Once again, no solution was ever indicated and still not sure you understand the gist of post. But we really appreciate your administrative viewpoint. Enjoy your week!

Guess that explains why i never saw him hit anything.
