I have not been to the Chili Bowl since 99. I always loved it. If I promoted it, I wouldn't change a thing. Waiting list for tickets, more cars than you really need. That said, if I ever went back, I would head home after Friday. See all the good racing on prelim nights, and avoid the huge Saturday crowd, and the super long day. Avoid sitting all those hours in the fumes. Hustle home try to catch the A on tv.
