I agree, What goes on, on thursday nights? I know it was kinda rough for the teams but them were some damn good shows, People watched and all the teams went to get on TV!
Also the winter Manzanita series held some years back was a whooper IMHO as far as short track racing is concerned! Racing in Jan-Feb, Just what the dr. ordered
