I'll be the one to say it, track crew is a total crap show. Officials would rather carry on a conversation with push truck driver then send them to push cars. Take 5 laps of caution just to get to a spun car. cudos to Axsom for getting out of his car and pushing it himself! Its 2025, not that hard to get a couple of side by sides. Post them at the track entrance in turn 3. Caution comes out, they go. Splurge just a little bit and 1 can even be turned into a wrecker to help out. Heck you don't even have to buy them. Enough series have them, that they can be rented! IT'S TIME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!
The DQ- This is why I hate asphalt racing. Tech the cars before the show. Not like they are not on the grounds all day long! You find it, DQ and put alternate in. Or send to tail, don't care, fix the stupid issue. I do give them credit for making the DQ. Yes, I know Tires must be done after the race. If you want to check post-race weight, I am good. All tech completed before victory celebration. Fans go home knowing the winner.
Pit stops. 1 thing asphalt Late Models do right is the pit stops. The do controlled cautions at 75 laps. Cars get 3 laps to pit. When they return to the track, they line up behind cars that do not pit. You line up in the order that you were running. Couple of things with this. maybe we do only 3- laps 125, 250 and 375. You would have to get the cars pushed back off before you started counting laps again. Yes the old schoolers will hate this, but push trucks have always sucked. Lets just fix the problem.
I do love the race, been to over 30 of them in a row. Its time to invest more into the actual race running than the pageantry crap.
