If this stands, I can assure you they can pay $1,000,000 to win and I will do my best to make sure no one shows up. REALLY PISSED... PG
Ever been to the Canadian sprint car nationals. LOL. Six car invert in heats, and 6 heat winners start top six in feature. That screwed Jason Barney in 2007, when he had to start 5th in his heat, finished 2nd, and on leader's tail at finish, and had to start 11th in feature. Finished 2nd catching Steve Poirier at the end who started on the pole.
Heard they got alot of tweets,e-mails & such about the qualifying & heads up start & they decided to do what the fans wanted. Which was invert the heats instead of just the feature. The wheel was spun & it came up 6. Heats were dandy's with a couple of sleepers like Luke Hall & Kent Wolters. They should have went with 3 classes of cars or stop doing all the damn b-mains. Maybe since he's a farmer he thinks everyone can go on 4 hrs sleep. Just between the sprints & mods they had damn near 100 cars.
I thought the feature was pretty good..but def a long drawn out evening..no need for 4 classes especially just between the sprints and mods they had 92 cars. I knew there was no possible way to qualify at 5:30 and start racing at 6..I will go back but they def need to figure some things out..
