THAT, sundown

Dyno Don · 7/1/09, 2:59 PM

Why does THAT have a sundown shut down thing? They never had it in the past. What difference does it make if the sun sets at 7:30PM or 8:30PM?

Gas City, 'Burg,State Fairgrounds and Anderson are a few tracks I know of that run east and west and do not have sundown shut downs. Why THAT?

Just curious.

Think about it Don. Anderson has stands in the way, the fairgrounds has buildings in the way and gas city has trees in the way. THAT has a long stretch of nothing blocking the sun at that low angle SOoooo thats why when the sun gets very low in the sky it disrupts their vision.

I thought it was to give you something new to piss and moan about. Am I right or is it the thought of maybe no fireworks, past 7:30 PM racing, too many classes of cars, low car counts, Scott tissue instead of Charmin in the men's room or any other of the 15-20 reasons that set you off?

Thanks for coming up with a new one!

I thought it was so they could sell more hot dogs.

I wonder if Don knows that the Vigo County Fair is the same week as the ISW race at the Action Track?

I really think the time change has something to do with it

It has upset many programs. I know Bloomington is a different track now
