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.  |
Absolutely. My Dad came up from Oklahoma for my son's HS graduation. The graduation ended earlier than we thought it would, so we took off for Tri state. It is the first race I have been to with my Dad in 10 years. During the intermission we got to talking about the races that we used to go to when I was a kid. The intermission could have been another 20 minutes and I wouldn't have cared.
