Back in the day, didn't all races and night events start at 8pm? After the cows were milked, is what I understand.

The fad has been to move start time up "for families" (not just races, but other entertainment choices); but then you go to Denny's or Walmart and there are young kids walking all over the place in the middle of the night...

Many times, at many short tracks, not all of these divisions have 40+ cars. Sometimes not enough for two heat races, and in many cases, certainly not enough for a B-main. My guess is most of the time, this program will work out (keep the show moving, but get the back gate for it to make financial sense...).

I'd say if it starts at 8 (remember you do not HAVE to be there for hotlaps...) and if the sprint feature started at 9:33, it was most likely done by 10pm. Thats two hours! I'd say that was pretty good!
