I agree with Hawker, and none of the 6 tracks have a reputation for dragging out shows. We've got 6 quality late model tracks that have come together to put on an IL Sprint Week. That in itself is a miracle. And guess what? Most of the people in the stands are going to want to watch the regular classes they root for each week, not only the treat of seeing sprint cars. I can't remember time being an issue at any of the ISW races last year and we ran support classes.

The number of support classes doesn't automatically mean it will be a late night. I've seen shows with one support class get drawn out. The 2008 Indiana Sprint Week show at Kamp had just one support class (street stocks), and as I recall there were only like 15 or so of them. Yet that show didn't get over until like 11:00. And it certainly wasn't the stockers that were to blame for the late night.

Lake Ozark Speedway (Same owners as Tri-City Speedway) run 5 classes on some nights with over 100 cars in the pits and many times they are over right at 10:30...
