Charles, those would be races I paid to see but didn't get to. When it gets to frustrating I simply head home and that's happened more times at the big E in the last several years than I can remember in the 25 years before. I remember a USAC show there a few years ago after a new track record was set in qualifying, they brought the grader out before the heats. I think 5 of the first six shows that year saw lengthy delays to re-grade the track, unacceptable. Look, I'm a guy that always buys a pit pass, I don't get in free. I tend to go to the more special shows as I am a major sprint car fan, both wing and non-wing, I love them all. Going to these shows, like last night at Kokomo, I drive 120 miles all on state routes and it was 2 hours and fifteen minutes each way on a Sunday night. When I go to a special show, I feel there is a responsibility to run the premier division for those who made the trip. My nephew races weekly at Waynesfield and they have 6 classes a night, no problem, it's a WEEKLY show and I just chill at the trailer until the sprints race. When Speedweek is at Waynesfield they will give the sprints priority, as they well should. Man, you people on here are nasty if anyone has a critique or different opinion than you. Remind me to never stop at one of your meet and greets, which is a shame I'd love to get to know a few of you, or at least I thought I would. Oh and by the way I just had this talk with a friend who is still taking photos and is a great guy, the Kings Royal should just be 410's no support classes, the night before is cool for the 360's but on the big night save the track for the big show and again throw the checkered flag before 11pm. Not everyone lives around the corner from the racetrack.
