It's just a fact. You put both of those premier classes on the same program and it's just hell on a track. Sprints and Midgets both lay a ton of rubber down on a racing surface. It's not the fault of the track prep crew. These guys all do as good as they can. Everybody wants to see a program that has both, so you have to take the bad with the good.

It slicked off but was fine. No real holes and good racing
Plus they got some rain last night so it really didn't come in right off of four. People were having problems with it all night as the cushion came down and never did slick through there Probably kinda hard to judge

I think I seen midgets running four wide and the top three sprints running under a blanket before the last yellow.

Could have called it with the 50% chance of rain they gave for today then you'd of seen nothin Glad they ran it. Heard a bunch of compliments. Except for some dirt the midway and under grandstand were as clean as when I got there at three oclock

Chuck, who had a blast.

If the racing was good I wouldn't complain about the color or how slick it looked. I have seen a lot of heat races on heavy tracks that were hammer down with no passing. I will take the close racing. As Jerry said, with midgets and sprints it will slick over. I would prefer they run the program rather than take an hour to do more prep.

OK it started out as a day race with very hot conditions. The track di exactly what dirt race tracks do in the day time when things get hot. The racing was excellent with 20+ very good race cars and drivers. They made the best with what they had. When that darned sun went down the track recovered nicely and that feature was very racy.

Dirt race tracks are like the weather in Indiana >>>>if you don't like it today come back tomorrow I guarantee it will be different.

Why were there so many sprints in the feature?

The promoter opted to start all (and pay all) who were good to go in the feature, rather than have "B-Mains to eliminate 4 or 5 cars. They did likewise for the midgets and modifieds.

I love consi's However to eliminate 1 or two cars especially on a late running show is ridiculous Burg has stated they will start up to 23 EVERY WEEK if that's the number they get. Last night was a exception and he added four more vs sending seven cars home with with 18 total laps a hundred bucks. I don't know how the drivers felt about it. After a couple early spins the racing went mostly green and the battle for the lead in all that traffic between KT, Leary and Tmez was BREATHTAKING!
