What about a 10 lap "Australian Pursuit" for the top 10 in Smackdown points? A single file start with a full invert, if you are passed, you are out of the pursuit race. The King of the Hill was an "exhibition" while an Australian Pursuit is a RACE with guaranteed competition and passing.:16

I know it's not possible with the other races being held. But I wish this show could be moved to labor day weekend and be ran on a Friday Saturday Sunday. I'm sure they don't want to alter the duquoin silver crown races date but I think this event would be the perfect one for labor day weekend. JMO

I'm trying to be constructive and not negative and these are very minor things. More porta-johns by the camping area and maybe some garbage cans. Also the bathrooms inside the track were locked way to early after the races ended.

Ok, sorry. I'm with you on the 5 hour ride home, same for us. The garbage can thing is that i want it to be easier in the morning for the people who come around to pick up.
