NONE of the tracks in my area or anywhere close allow coolers. Indiana people are so spoiled. Non-wing sprints 3 nights a week every week and you're gonna complain about coolers? Try living in Iowa and then complain. As for the early start time, yes I prefer later and hope someday they go back to standard time, but at least they are racing. Does one more hour of sleep really make that big of a difference in how you feel Monday? I can sacrifice a little sleep for a better track anytime.

Throwback, I agree with you it dosen't effect me, but to casual fans it makes a big difference. You can't live off the "hardcore" fans. Check on any given race night the amount of so called hardcore fans that are on here instead of at the track.

That extra hour of sleep does make a difference to some but the future of this sport is bringing young people in, that extra hour may make a difference on wether Dad decides to bring the kids or not or if he does then it might get to late for them to see the feature. Like Brent said we need to think of the casual fan, us hardcore fans will put up with about anything to get our fix.

Yea, and its 2:00 in California, and who knows in Japan! With Bob and O'Conners preping track there will be no problem! If the problem is Mods, then say that! I would rather watch mods than nothing during down time! If I can get 4 cans of pop in to a movie, is no cooler really an issue when you can wear a jacket!!

I guess I can wear a winter coat to carry all that beer in! lol Sorry if some of you think us Hoosiers are spoiled, nothing better than cold can of beer and cold chicken from the cooler at a race! It's American as apple pie and baseball. Also want to say thank you for the track changing the rule and allowing coolers! I plan on attending every race this year there!

Why complain about a sprint car race at terre haute? Are you guys late model fans? That's like complaining that your old lady got drunk and brought home some playmate looking girl. I'm sure there is a cup race for you guys to watch while getting updates.
