You will never see me complain about the tractor show. The track reworking is one of the major reasons I drive nearly three hours over there. Because of the "green parade", I know that I will see a racy track come feature time. I can't always say that at some of the tracks closer to home.

Honestly, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but what am I missing here? The Helfrichs bust their butts to give everyone an awesome race, and some folks ***** about a 15-20 minute intermission to re-work that track. You all can't find ways to occupy yourselves for 15 freaking minutes? In this age of games on phones? Heck, I welcomed the short break last night just to head out to the car and soak up the heat on a windy, 50 degree night.

All that said, I did have to laugh at how the RFC Chaplain worked in a reference to the tractor show in his pre-race prayer.
