I really enjoyed the evening, good racing, good track and saw a lot of friends.
My question is, why did they say hot laps would start at 5PM? They did not start till 6:30PM. Is this a scam to sell more burgers or was there another reason?
Why did they not say up front, hot laps at 6:00PM, qualies at 6:30PM and racing at 7:30PM? I am sure they probably upset a few newbies. If you advertise hot laps at 5:00 PM, then do hot laps at 5:00PM.
I do not care I was there at 4:00PM for a lot of tail gateing and had a great time. But the newby may not come back because of the delay.

Hot laps were delayed because the track was WET! Could you not see that, even after hot laps started? They dumped a ton of water on that bad boy, which ended up giving us the start time that should have been advertised all along. The track was greasy early, but it was really good as the night wore on...and with just the slightest bit of urgency in running the show, it would have been over quickly.
Terre Haute....One division show...Hot laps at 6:30 or 7....Run it efficiently and be done by 10 or 10:30.

A+ on track prep. Visited the track preparer. I was very impressed to see the Sprints roll the track
in. Just like the old days. Great Job Mike-Davey and staff. Looking forward to the "Hulman Classic"
in 2010. I was all smiles at 3:15 when I arrived to see the tracked ripped up very well with water trucks
dropping water.
Best Regards,
John
