How about putting a large bill board on the turn three wall?

They could sell advertising, make a little profit and keep the show going.

I can see your point, but my question was, in all the years I have been going to THAT this is the only promoter that has done this as I can recall.

Actually Don, I can remember many times where they would have a 15-20 min break right after qualifying or even in the middle of qualifying to let the sun go down (when it was central time). They would annouce it over the PA that they were taking some extra time before the heat races to allow the sun to set.

Jason is correct -

Whats the matter, bicycle broke?

I must be getting old and senile. I have been going to THAT since when they ran on Sunday afternoon with no lights.

I guess when they had a break after lights were installed I must have thought it was for another reason. Sorry but I guess I missed the sundown shutdown.

Don, that may be true - I never worked there when there weren't lights, but I do remember several times when we held things up because of the sun - It was never built in to the plan - but it did happen

lawrenceburg is blinding going into 3 when the sun is low in the west. they haven't shut it down yet.

I've see a few times they delayed a push out due to the sun at the Burg, Used to be much worse on the old track, Now the wall within a couple minutes will shade almost half the straightaway.
