I thought the problem was starting 1 hour late. Once that happens you can't get the time back. I would go back, mainly because of the comments today from people like Jeremy, who are doing what they can to improve the product. I left after the B's. Call me a wimp if you want, but a 2 hour and 40 minute drive, and having to work, I did what I had to do. Great field of cars. Thanks to everyone who showed up.

i enjoyed the announcer, he had t-mez in every single race that was run/ n he needs to memorize: turns one and two to my right, turns three and four to my left.

I haven't heard anything else about Hewitt in a car. Did he run the main? How'd he do? If he did and all people can talk about is the race took to long then I don't get it. I was hoping to drive from Kansas City and pickup my buddy in St. Louis just so we could watch the legend in action. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

Jack qualified 17th out of 54, Ran heat, Didn't transfer. Ran B, Didn't transfer. Put him tail of Feature & he pulled off at some point.

personal opinion; time trials are a waste of time and track surface/ the best way is to draw for positions and race your way in!

I do the 160 miles and home from Gas City and I do the 190 miles and home from Kokomo. I do this for the friendly folks and the superb racing. I am confident that WRP can streamline this event with fewer classes/features only and dew Hewitt proud with a spectacular non wing sprint car show for 2013 and beyond. WRP is a work in progress and the lessons learned Sunday will allow the track to improve and grow non wing sprint car racing in Ohio. Thanks to all of the great drivers, crews, and car owners for bringing your national level teams to WRP. It was appreciated by all who were in attendance.

I would agree if it were a weekly show, but with all the top tier talent they had it was fun to watch them showcase their skills in qualifying. Thanks for 1 lap only though.

Also, because of the 6 car heat invert, the heat races alone were worth the price of admission. Sensational heat races! A great feature battle between the sports top two young guns (one Indy, one stocker bound, unfortunately). Then to top it all off with a very memorable victory lane moment with Kyle and Jack. Priceless!

Qualifying didn't hurt the track. I think if this race were ran in July it would have had a bigger impact on the racing surface, but with cooler temperatures the track stayed beautiful all night. Cars were racing everywhere (top to bottom) with a nice cushion in 3/4.

I am a Waynesfield regular and am so very greatful to all the folks at Waynesfield and the BOSS Series for bringing traditional Sprint car racing to the Buckeye state!

I would like to see 3 support classes dropped from the regular show, and only 2 classes for the specials (Reynolds & Hewitt). Otherwise, thanks for the great show that I will never forget!

I agree, this is one thing I would like for WRP to address this off season. It's not just the pits, sound is bad from the grandstands. I arrived early for a seat up top, as I always do, but watched qualifying from the second row so I could keep up with the action.

Just constructive criticism, Rome wasn't built in a week.

The above ^^^ was a very reasonable and thoughtful message. Add to the fact that it was the young man's first post here makes it even better.

Welcome, Mr. Trombonist. We can use more like you.
