In my opinion, why wouldnt they want to run a support class. They have plenty of downtime, and it would only add to the number of fans and cars there. And most importantly it would put more $$$ in the promoter's pocket. This place won't be around much longer by just running 4 shows a year. Posted via Mobile Device

You are probably right. And, I wouldn't object to a support class to fill the downtime.

Lets have mini sprints, street stocks, 360 Sprintcars, Kenyon Midgets. Anything but Mods.

The Modifieds ran 100 laps last Saturday at LPS and only had three cautions.

Down time can be addressed in a lot of ways.

I think you get 10 big wheels 10 kids from the stand
and you race them on the front stretch. Lots of give aways
and and interaction with family and kids.

A live band of some of some sorts would be cool too.
Hell get the local country/rock radio station to come down and
they can play some tunes and give stuff away,

I do not mind the down time, I like my racing to last all night.
Friends, Cold Beer, Bench racing is all part of the experience for me.

They tried the band thing once under King, didn't work.

Hey guys, when they used to have a support class there was almost always an issue with the curfew. I remember the mods not getting to run and then they were all pissed. I don't think they actually bring in enough extra people at this track to cover their purse so the promoter would make less. Most of the time there isn't that long of down time. It just happened to be that night. I know there are plenty of fans who enjoy the idea of no support classes and a little down time to socialize and hear some interviews (which they could have done more of). No matter how they do it some one will find something to ***** about. The stock cars would be better off on their own night when they can call their own shots and put all those extra people in the stands you speak of.

I've been there when they ran sprints and a support class and they screwed around and had the same amount of down time as with just the sprint cars. The problem isn't the added class, it is the lack of organization from the promotion team to get a program run in a reasonable amount of time.
