We NEVER leave a track without seeing a feature or A-main but we left last night. Over here in rabid late model country we get a precious few USAC National midget and sprint events within an hour of our house. I fear after this painfully drawn out train wreck the prospects just dropped exponentially.

At least half of a very good crowd had bailed prior to the USAC midget B-main. By the time a new day had rolled around and we gave up and headed out there probably was only 25% left.

This event certainly had huge potential. 2 high quality divisions with no support class/classes. It sure didn't turn out like it could/should have, that's for sure.

Larson's absence might explain the ridiculously late starting time but that doesn't account for the huge periods of down time for no apparent reason. Other than the catch fence repair there possibly was adequate justification. If there was we'd sure like to hear it. Not a peep of explanation was offered by the PA announcer while we were still there.
Kenny, Kyle also confirmed that, during the victory lane interview, when he was thanking the fans for still being there.
