It was Day's; Turkey Night!
 

Headline writes itself.

Check other sites for results though, I guess...(sadly)

Saw Flea Ruzic call out USAC for a car with thin tubing they were allowing to race, before ultimately deciding to park it. Any ideas which car?

Re: It was Day's; Turkey Night!
 

Still don't understand the 98 laps when the tracks toast in 50. Yeah Day got under him to win late but after halfway the excellent racing going on everywhere just one lined itself to catfishin.

It was the #99AU driven by Carson Macedo.

Charles,

I know they talk about tradition and the 98 laps but I would like to see them drop the distance to 50 laps and have an all out battle instead of the catfishing for over half the race.

I agree . The first half was almost as good as it gets .

Though Flea said it wasn't a big name driver? Oh well

Re: It was Day's; Turkey Night!
 

Respectfully disagree. 98 laps brings out endurance and perseverance. With todays higher quality equipment and drivers focus on physical fitness Id be in favor of more laps.:deadhorse:

I thought it was a great race from start to finish - and I'm a Kyle Larson fan (so I woulda enjoyed it even more if he had got to battle to the finish). Maybe just don't have sprint car Q on Saturday? Assuming they had sprint car Q? I actly can't find full results for them...

Sprint cars qualified Friday night and ran a full show with accumulated points. The top 10 in Fridays A-Main were locked in for Saturday nights A-Main. The rest lined up for Saturday qualifier races based on points accumulated from Friday.

The sprints were Ultimate Sprint Car Series sanctioned.

Any thoughts on what could be cut out (other than the laps from the midget A)? I think it would be tough for the sprint car guys to just get to run one feature on Saturday. They did track prep between the As right?

Re: It was Day's; Turkey Night!
 

Looks like they had 3 B-mains for them...you'd think there would be a way to tighten that up maybe?

I attended both days of Turkey night in my RV in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Watching the past couple of years on Flo racing, it appears that nothing has changed. They do a very fine job of turning a 5-hour race program into an 8-hour enduro. I would venture a guess that there is more time spent with no cars either on the track or at speed, compared to actual racing time. There just appears to be no incentive to move the program along, and it gets damn cold there in the evening this late in the year. I know I am in the minority, as the place appeared to be a full house, but I personally have no desire to sit in a grandstand for 8 hours anymore.

I agree 100% Run the sprint program Fri and Keep the full midget show for Sat. Plenty of cars for full programs at each. One down time each night between heats and features.
