Don't know how it looked on TV, but the racing all night was great. Smoke kinda messed up the racing at the front but behind him things were spectacular with racing going 4 wide at times.
The support classes did put on a great show, would have been a good show for TV.
The track announcer and the TV broadcast coming through the PA at the same time was a bit annoying, but it was sometimes good because TV pointed out something that was not mentioned by the track announcer.
The idea that everyone turn right of any parking lot they are exiting did not make sense. We were parked in the lot to the west of the track on the north end, if we had turned right while exiting we would have driven back toward the track into traffic leaving the track. The idea was good but like all things needs some tweaking.
Also on the leaving the track topic, traffic needs to be directed away from the main gates. Last night as I was walking across the street with my daughter a guy in a full size Chevy truck decided to go bowling for pedestrians while he was driving toward the main gate. I was struck by his truck. Luckily my daughter who was not hit and I were not injured, though I did hear a large pop and a crack from his grill.
Great show, great time, love the seats we were given. Keep it up Tony.
