Anybody have any thoughts on the running of the modified feature before the sprints? Haven't seen any comments on here, but I did hear several negative comments as I was leaving, especially in regards the dusty track during the sprint feature.

I actually like it,but maybe run the modified feature before the track rework. Running the sprints last gives fans the opportunity to get in the pits before the guys are loaded up and gone!

Normally I leave after the sprint feature, but all I can say is WOW that modified feature was a hell of a race after the half lap leader took his self out, You had to feel for the guy, he still came all the back up to I think 4th. That fight for first was hell of a race. I may stick around to watch the mods again. I didn't mind them running first, as long as they don't become a spin fest its ok with me

The comments on here are quite different from the ones I have received on Facebook. I didn't have a lot of comments, but the dusty track condition was the biggest complaint. Most of the people I know who were commenting at the track don't post comments on IOW or Facebook.

I wondered that myself Ron. With a 3 hour drive home and being behind an hour on the clock, I would prefer that the sprints ran first, but as Jim pointed out below, that was a pretty darn good Mod race without too many cautions. Even Ken Schrader had nothing for those guys. Was still home at 2:40 am. No Complaints though!!

Ron, I was under the impression that was a one time deal only. I know a modified driver who ran the 4th heat, then the 'B" and would have been rushed to have his car ready for the feature event if he would have made it. I did not think the sprint track was that dusty. Drivers loved it from what I heard.

I thought it was good to be able to go straight to the pits and not have to wait. The mod feature was good and i would not have normally stayed to watch it. I have not seen the pits that full in a LONG time. I sure hope they sold a lot of shirts and made some new younger fans!

I would be totally fine with Sprint Hot Laps, Sprint Heats, sprint B, Sprint Feature...then bring out the tractors and work on the track....then Modified Hot Laps, Heats, Features.

If you are a sprint fan from out of town, no matter how many cars show up, this would be workable.
