As long as they have fries Saturday, all will be good. That double cheeseburger just wasn’t the same without fries last time. 😕

If I am able to go, I will be there early enough to hit Dewigs.

They have had a previous 2 day show but it was a USAC race followed by a Outlaw make up show. That said, they could handle a multi day event anytime they want to schedule one. As for the tractor haters maybe they should attend more Ohio tracks so they can get their fill of dust.

I was really hoping we could avoid the usual whining about John Deere. The surface is fantastic. I wish people would spend equal energy whining about minimal efforts and less than stellar surfaces at some of the other tracks. This will be a great event.

[QUOTE=BrentTFunk;568431] As for Central Indiana fan base not supporting, that road runs both ways. How many people from southwestern Indiana made it to the Smackdown?

I would submit that there were plenty of fans supporting Kyle and Chase that wknd. Obviously without personally asking where they were from we will never know. The real statement/question you might want to give light to is, why were there any empty seats at Smackdown Saturday? After solving that, then worry about the road running both ways.

Every year the Hustler gets a good crowd but I read complaints about, tractors, the drive is too long, the time zone is a problem. For once I’d like to read about what a great show and maybe the event can grow to a multi day deal!

For many race fans this is an accepted part of the show. I havent been every where but Ive been to a lot of race tracks and youll be hard pressed to show me a better prepared racing surface. The Class Track is a title that they earn every show. I just look at it as three more heats,plus they run em backwards. How bad ass is that? Tote up, hit your flast and enjoy the show

The vast majority of shows I've attended across all the tracks I've been to, there is typically an intermission. Sometimes tracks use this time to water/rework the track, sometimes it is simply an opportunity to sell more concessions. The only time I've ever taken issue with any track on this practice is when it drags on excessively. My experience has been that Tri State prepares a fantastic surface in a very efficient timeframe and I have never left late because of the track prep time. Haubstadt is one of my favorite tracks because of the racing that the track surface provides. I just wish I lived a little closer so I could get there more often.

While I can often TIRE of the constant track work, it is the best option for the racing involved. Hope they can get a good balance on the track conditions, so the last 20 laps are 3 lanes wide and drivers have options.
