    This was an absolute joke on Volusia County Speedway & the WOO, they lolligagged around all night, folks the fog will roll in at midnight. There was no reason for this tonight. Just stupid.

    From what I've seen of Speedweeks 2017 the World of Outlaws organization can't run an efficient program in a timely manner.

    Are we sure the 23 laps wasn't just the end of a segment like NASCAR? lol

    The track was bad all Monday night & the Tuesday feature was a little better because the big blocks widened out the track. WRG did a bad job all week. I sold my Saturday ticket & I am heading home in the morning. Tomorrow will be a barn burner but after 3 bad nights of racing I have had enough. East Bay & Bubba were good. Golden Isles & Volusia were bad. Onward & upward.

    Fog/Humidity was the biggest issue, even with a clean tear-off the visors where still fogged over. If they would have started track prep earlier, maybe things would have been different, but we all know about IF'S.... Eastbay's prep crew certainly wins that honor so far! Volusia has been hammer down all week, with Friday's weather I would have thought we would have seen a great surface. It's possible it was just too wet to work it earlier Friday, IDK.... Cars on the track racing is better than no racing at all I guess.... One night left, and It should be a great show, great crowds all of speed weeks, weather has been outstanding except a few days, its February you never know what your going to get.

    Mother nature has nothing at all to do with this one, they had 2 classes of cars, this entire program should have been done between 1030-11 pm at most. It's like they were in slow motion all night. WOO/WRG blew this one, not mother nature.

    Mother nature didn't drag her feet, the officials did. That's why they didn't get the race in. Let's not forget this isn't the first night WoO poked around and ran the program like they had no idea what they were doing.

    Thanks. Not that late then but still as a fan you hate to miss that many laps.
