Sorry but my wife and I were not impressed!! Schedule on website says 6 PM hot laps and hot laps did not start until almost 7:15. Ran good amount of laps for each class (about 7 or 8) and then announce that they would run a second round of warmups because guys had not run there before. In the meantime clouds are rolling in and temperature is 63 and feels like 56 and dropping. Warmups end around 8 PM and then they announce there will be a driver's meeting! Don't you usually have the driver's meeting before the warmups begin? By this time it is almost 8:30 when Justin Peck rolls down the hill with the flag in hand for the national anthem. Wouldn't you know it but it begins to rain!! It showers for about 15 minutes and stops. Vehicles start to run the track in around 9 and are still running it in at 9:30. With the complete program to still run and added warmups for the guys again we decided to cut our losses and head home. Sure glad it was free because that is all it was worth!! With only about 12 cars in the pits we didn't feel it was worth sticking around and then having to drive home 1 1/2 hours after the completion of the show which was probably around midnight. Heard two people talking behind us with one living in the Central time zone and she stated that she arrived home at 2:30 last Saturday and the other from the area saying he was home by 2 AM!! That is too long to be at a race track and if the promoter doesn't change things people are not going to come out and support such a poorly run show! Was thinking about attending the MSCS sprint show next Friday there but if this Friday was any indication of how poorly the program is going to be run next Friday count us out!! Sorry to sound so negative but being wet and cold and sitting for two hours and seeing nothing has that effect on us!! The only good thing about the evening was the beautiful double rainbow that appeared after the rain showers!!
