One thing to expect at the 4 Crowns is a late night, not this late however. It seems to me a checker at midnight would be about as late as acceptable without any weather issues. I’ve been there a lot later, believe me. I think 2006 was when we got back to our room in Portland at like 5:30 am, but no dust that night. In this case, the track added to it’s own demise as caution for tire failure had to add at least 15 minutes to the race, but it felt longer. B99, I don’t think we’re that far apart. You even mentioned Scott Wier driving around there like a minivan around Winchester. If they hadn’t reworked it, that happens again in feature 1. It was a few years ago that they did a complete rework with lots of equipment, it went even later than this past weekend but the track was good. Even though some people disagree, I say the weather was a factor. Maybe Eldora Mark knows, he’s pretty close, but we haven’t had any rain at home for weeks, I’ll bet they haven’t since the World 100. Knowing that factor, they should have been working harder to get more water in it. But that leads to an issue I’ll discuss on another thread about the track.
