Why the early start time??? That's annoying. I thought this was supposed to be a throwback to the old days. Starting early is bad for track conditions. I started going there in 1979. Hot laps started when the sun was low enough in the sky. There was no set time. I'm just hoping for this to go over well and I know for a fact that all the locals expect hot laps at 6:45pm not 6:15. Why start early in July when its hot outside? Plus, only 2 classes instead of 3. Come on Knoxville. Give the non-wing cars a legit chance. Prepare the track right, and start at the usual time. Sure seems to me that there is some local push back to not get upstaged by the superior non-wing racing. Race director John Mc Coy and board member Mike Brooks are old school non-wing drivers that should know better. If they want non-wing cars to go over well they need to be all in! And Next year they should make this a points race for the weekly drivers. I think it's ridiculous they have their weekly show along with this event. These guys need to grow a pair and maybe check out Bobby Marshall's Facebook page and see when outlaws were real men. Oh well, hoping for an old school night at Knoxville when the track wreaked of manure. We'll see. 49 entries is damn good.
