Places like Haubstadt and Kokomo are the exception, rather than the rule. Sometimes, some of us (me included) get spoiled just because we have a couple of the country's best race tracks, within a short drive from most of our houses. Very fast, with limited passing (like the Burg last night) isn't the ideal situation. But, I go to a lot of different tracks and what I saw last night was average, at worst. There was no lack of effort. They just missed it, a bit. But, more significant to me, is how the blind luck draw's flaws were exposed, yet again. I don't like that system. To me, if there's not qualifying or some kind of passing points system in place, the fans end up getting cheated.

P.S. Kevin Briscoe. When I paid $25 to get in, I just assumed they would be taking care of ALL of the starters, similar to the way they do in winged shows.

BTW. Robert Ballou is on a serious rampage, right now. If he would have gotten on track a month or so earlier, there might have been some interesting debate on who should be National DOTY.
