VCS Sunday Start Times... You input needed.

Mud Packer · 8/14/09, 4:36 PM

I posted on another thread that I really want this to work for Joe. We planned on being there this week to help support VCS but as I mentioned an 8:00 PM EDT start with 5 classes could be trouble. Under the best of circumstances it would probably be midnight at the earliest that we would be getting home. A 5:30 AM wake up call makes for a very short night and a long day on Monday. I would vote for hot laps at 5:00 PM CDT and racing at 6:00 PM CDT. Anything later could hurt car count and attendance from the Indiana side of the border. I don't know when the school bell rings in Illinois, but Indiana school have either started or will this next week. That will be a stopper for families.

I would go for three or earlier, Seeing how I have to be up by 5am to be at work by 6:15am ( School Bus Driver ) I loose an hour coming home.
I will not be able to go if it starts at 7pm, 8pm Indy time. Being the track photographer, if I'm still considerd the track photographer. My opinion is just that, my opinion. I hope Joe listen's to everyone, from what I'm hearing early is good!

Glad to hear that D.O. Thank you Joe! Life is really good, Brunch (invite only) at the new PIT STOP BBQ in Brownsburg Sundy Morning, and racing at VCS Sunday afternoon.

Thats what I thought....I think Gansert took it as those were the new times.....I would say just keep checking the website for official times......

When is it going to be OFFICIAL? I'm going to stay in Charleston and drive over but I would love to know what time to get there.It is after all Friday night..

Joe,
One could only hope. I know it isn't official until its posted on the the web site, or I get a call from Joe. I think those times would work for alot of us east of Danville. Life is still good, Brunch is still on and there will be racing at Danville. Just maybe not when most of us would like. I would still like to thank Joe for everything he has done, and all he will do for the sport of dirt track racing.

Just start racing at 6 o'clock central time any earlier and you might has well stay home and watch the train go by there.It has been great to see Joe take over Danville and have a couple of nights where the track has been wet and tacky all night long and not take any rubber until at least half way thru the feature.The IL. sprint week show is the way they should prepare the track for every race that was the best shape that track has been in for over twenty years,now I just wish they would put the wall back around the top of the track where it used to be.
