I just watched the show this morning off the DVR. Here are my thoughts.

1. The Night of Thrills and similar type events are run at many tracks across the country. I think the tracks do these nights to stay afloat. They know they can charge extra, get a lot of new faces in the stands and not really have to spend the money on a big purse. I know Columbus speedway adds a special like this every 6-8 weeks and jacks the admission from $12-$18 and the stands are alo fuller than a normal event.

2. I am not from Anderson but I do know that ANderson has lost alot of manufacturing but it also has added other types of business too. I think this was ignored. ALso, isn't Anderson now considered an extended suburb of the NE side of Indy?

3. As for the racing and the people I found it interesting the commitment that is given to their division. I got the impression that these folks were passionate about it and it was their bright light during the summer months. I have never been a big fan of these divisions but I have to admire their commitment.
