The thing I think hurting racing everywhere is this: shows running too long.

Now Terre Haute last night ran pretty quick but there were only 3 heats and a feature. I am sure a Wednesday night doesn't help much.

As a fan I would pay more to see -- time trials, 4 heats, consi, feature and go home. Hopefully 32 cars. Even three heats works with good cars. I hear a lot of complaints that people don't like to sit on wood bleachers from 5:30 to 11:30. Get rid of the support classes and run sprint car races.


I love going to Terre Haute to races but I can't remember the last time sprint car's ran on Saturday night there. Tough for out of towners, out of state folks to make a Wednesday night race. I realize this race was part of the Indy week, hopefully Indy fans drove down.
