My first MSCS race and trip to the new Lawrenceburg Saturday night.
MSCS Observations. IMO - they need to go to a passing point system. Check with ASCS, they could provide one for you. Eliminate provisionals! There were 4 spots given to drivers who face it, were not good enough to make the show. Nothing pisses me off more than a guy starting the race at the tail and pulling off on the first lap of the B because they have a provisional. If they would have opened those 4 spots they could have taken 3 out of each heat and 3 out of 2 B mains. After the first red flag why did it take around 10 laps to get the #30 in line. Didn't they give the drivers the run down over the radio during the red. If his raceceiver is not working black flag him and send him to the pits. He will check it next time. They gave all the cars in the red 3 laps to work on their cars but when Moffitt had a flat they did not give him 3 laps.
Lawrenceburg Observations - It is hard to believe it is the same track. I have to admit I miss the old one but the current track is going to the next level. Hopefully the investment in a scoreboard will be in the future. Not sure why it took so long to get the program going but could have been a bit quicker with the cold temps. L-Burg did a great job moving the show along after it got going. Why not send all sprint cars out to wheel pack when they fire their motors instead of trying to get the first hot lap group to get it done which was not successful. Seemed to be quite a few extra laps ran under yellow that could have been eliminated when you are using raceceivers. Tell them going green and turn out the light down the backstretch, there doesn't need to be a one to go by the flag man.
Overall I had a great time and plan to come back. Heck, I didn't miss BC or Levi I was just enjoying the drivers who did put on a great show.
