I agree, the track was extra dusty for the sprint feature. Regardless of whose call it was on feature order, Tom does a great job at track preparation. He may need a couple race nights to get the surface dialed in 100%. It's a science, but not an exact science by any means.

That being said, I realize this is primarily a sprint car forum/website, and a lot of folks on here could care less about anything but a sprinter. Changing the feature order last weekend illustrated to the entire crowd in attendance what I've known for several years now: the modified racing at Tri-State Speedway is as competitive, if not morso, than the sprint cars. I've seen some of the best features at TSS the last few years come from the modifieds. The sad fact is that by the time they're running, the stands are already more than half empty.

It goes to show that if you give any class of cars a first rate racing surface, they can put on a fantastic show. The mods have gotten better at running on the dry-slick track after the main class of cars (be it sprints, late models, etc.), but give them a fresh tacky track and they'll put on an even better show.
