I e-mailed Track Enterprises to ask about this. Within 10 minutes I had a reply that they were stopping at 51 laps. My reply was that I didn't like to see a race stopped for any reason but safety. Suggested that they read IOW to see what the fans thought of this.

Add fuel change tires, adjust the cars.
Change tire start in the rear.

This is asked by the promoter of USAC to make it more exciting for the fans.
They have to run regulation silver crown fuel tanks no small ones.

was debating seriously going this year, would have to close up my business way early but if they're stopping at halfway then they can have it, I'll stay home and wait untill the next night for the Little 500.
yea, i think all the drivers should switch cars at lap 51. and then give them an ice cream cone to eat along the way. i guess you see how i feel about it.:2:
If they aren't trying to intentionally kill Silver Crown racing, you could have fooled me. If they have to do this, then run two 50 lap races. Take a "halfway" break of 15 minutes, NO MORE, and make the teams redraw for starting positions. That should spice things up.
