You'll all probably be butthurt by what I have to say and I'll also say I haven't been there but about a dozen times.
But what makes it special? NOTHING! but there is a difference. Hold that thought.
The facilities are nothing special, Granted it has a bar now. But concessions are par, Restrooms below par, Fencing below par. Seating Below par at least for bigger races and the track. Well I've seen multi lead passes, Wins from the tail and rim riding daredevil runs on about every track in the state and photo finishes to boot. I've seen complete stomp the field blow out's on Kokomo as many times as I've seen close racing or multi lead changes.
HOWEVER the difference IMHO is Reece O'Conner 80% and track shape 20% If it wasn't prepped the way it is. The racing wouldn't be the way it is. And that's CONSISTENT and he'll rip the track just enough to keep it that way for the feature without tearing the whole thing up and making it to where nothing comes in till halfway.
When he's got it right, THERE IS NO CLEAR GROOVE, Oh they'll be guys running the wall and guys running the bottom, But there's guys that will go in on the wall and come off the bottom or just the opposite. Go in low and grab the cushion off of two. And about every time Im there I see stuff that drivers make work but in the back of my minds thinking shouldn't be possible, So even if someone has the field covered, You still see good racing and four or five wide on a track you don't think it's possible.
So, Really, I'd just say it's constancy a good track surface and drivers who get it, just let it eat and make what they can make work vs setting up for a certain line.
Sunday Night also makes it special and they work to get it done at a decent hour.
So there is some differences and like I said, I've seen great racing at every track. But Sunday Nights. #GYATK
