I am on vacation for 3 months and I think back to back weekday night races are a recipe for no cars. I bet you will be surprised. But it is calling for a lot of water grains per pound Thursday tho

I am on vacation for 3 months and I think back to back weekday night races are a recipe for no cars. I bet you will be surprised. But it is calling for a lot of water grains per pound Thursday tho I may be surprised but I wouldn't know why there would be a good turnout except a lot of people who don't travel haven't raced in a while. I hope I'm wrong. 1. Many people will work the following day 2. Many people who work that day will have a hard time getting there. 3. One time run only. I don't mind but I know some who do. 4. Prorated payout. 5. Late end time. If you live far away you have a problem. Races end at 2 am. Do you load up and get home at 4 or 5 then drive back the following day. If you stay you have to find something to do the following day. Will we be allowed to stay at the track that night?

Yes Jeremy you are correct. I work an hour away and live 1 1/2 from track. I open the doors at 6:45 am if I'm lucky I'll leave at 5:00 and 1 hour drive to get there

A lot of people night complain about it and not like the hectic no sleep part but they will still be there. I say superpro will have at least 40 cars ? Any takers?

I don't think 40 is considered a big turnout. Like I said I hope I'm wrong. This race schedule just had a lot working against it. Main thing it has going for it is that a lot of people haven't raced in a long time.

We won't make it. And it stinks that it counts for two points events. Probably should have thought twice before entering points. Too many stacked up points events around other events and holidays.
Oh well, have fun everybody.

I made enough passes for all of us Monday. Me and Janie set a personal and possibly world record. We made 67 passes side by side for three hours non stop never shutting the cars off! Never have I been so close to dehydration. Got light headed and had to make a phone call to my dad to bring both of us gatoraid!

It's looking like even more water grains per pound now for both days so that should make everyone happy. It will either be a wash or a marathon now

Lewis at GW just confirmed that you can park Wednesday night and stay until Friday but will need to purchase a ticket for open TnT for Wednesday.

Yes. Some will kill themselves trying to make this jacked up Weds and Thursday race. Then it's followed up with the Fun Ford race we share the July 25 race with. But I bet a lot of people will check the schedule long and hard before signing up for points again next year. I know I will. This type of schedule is not how you build a program.
