I made my first ever trip to Kokomo tonight. I had a great time and will definitely be back. Hopefully with a car next time. The only complaints I have are the lack of a wave lap before the sprint feature, the features were a little dusty, the food was a little overpriced, and none of the features were under the lights. I blame Governor Daniels and his DST for that last one. :2:

The hot lap incident is unfortunate. If I remember correctly on the Follow The Corn documentary they were interviewing and old man who works at a track and I think it was Kokomo. The whole time they were interviewing him he kept yelling on the PA "wheel pack time!" I kept thinking this dude needs to chill. It was really annoying. If they really were ignoring the officials I wouldn't have punished them by taking away their hot laps. They could have just made them run last. In the end the track benefits from increased beer and hot dog sales.

If there is a driver who is there for the first time and he doesn't get to hot lap, that has the potential to get a few cars wadded up. jmo
