They need more seats for these special shows.
Clearly High Limit race nights are a complete entertaining show. Qualifying, driver songs, spin the wheel for dash positions, interviews, and an emotional Driven to Save Lives letter to the audience. Fireworks before and after the feature! Tony LaPorta does a great job interviewing. Speaking of fireworks, watching the feature was like watching a video game! Drivers dicing in and out of lapped traffic for positions. Yeah, not much passing in the heat races, but the feature made up for everything. I think Peck dropped to the bottom to prevent a slide job, and Rico was hammer down on the top side! WOW.....what a photo finish. I was in my car heading home at 9:10pm. Kudos to the many fans that were heading to the pit area to meet the drivers and teams.
Here is the High Limit You Tube video of the feature. Watch the finish!
