I think the key to ending shows early lies with the support classes. Those drivers deserve as much as anybody to race….they paid their money too. However, if 95% of the crowd is there to see the headliner, that has to take precedent. There has to be a time limit on races in some cases. I don’t think fans should have to sit there and wait through a bunch of yellows. If you can’t get a heat race over in 10 (15 at the most) minutes, there is something wrong. You had your chance to race so it’s time to move on. The support classes don’t bother me (as long as there aren’t 3 or 4….that’s a bit much IMO…if you have 4 or 5 total classes going, that’s too much). You can’t end sprint car heats and be ready in two minutes for the C or B. Support classes to fill time is fine, it’s when they are taking and not filling time that I have a problem with.
