    It wasn't bad at Kankakee last year. A couple support classes were features only. The track had a ton of mousture in it because it rained almost 2 inches the night before.

    Actually Kankakee is being smart. They always run the UMP Super Late Models and UMP Modifieds first.
    Late Models, Modifieds, & Crate Late Models run a full show.
    I-Mods & Sport Compacts features only.
    That is how Tom has always done it for the Summer Nationals show.

    I agree with nathan. I think if fc was smart and all other trcks u would put your supers center stage run them 1st or mods then lates. I understand the need for support classes but when i travel i wanna see the lates 1st.

    I've always felt during the Summernats, the weekday shows need to run their Late Model feature 1st and get the show over in a timely fashion. Most folks work Monday thru Friday.
    Friday and Saturday shows are not that big of a deal as most folks will be up that late anyway.
    This is just a opinion and what is acceptable for me. I'm sure their are others with different schedules that contradict this but I think I probably speak for the majority.
    I give credit to tracks like Spoon, Peoria, Macon, and especially Lincoln(Sunday night) for getting the programs over early. Farmer City, FALS, Tri City, I've got nowhere to be, so no problem.

You want to support a track because its in your back and your toothless cousin races a $500 4 cylinder there every week go ahead.
    At least I'm an idiot that knows how to work the quote button on here. You want to whine here and on other threads about others whining....look in the mirror. I drove 13 hrs to total crap fest at golden isle last year. You won't see me saying I want the place shut down. You sir are tool....go find another sport to complain about. When we get to where we have no where to go, we can thank awesome supportive fan like you for that.

    Ok before i would hit it once and the buffering sign would come up so i just waited and nothing happened. I never had as much time on my hands as zyoung to mess with it. I guess when you can happily sit for hours on end at a poorly run dirt track you can figure things out despite being dumb.
