    And that is my point. There are a bunch of issues that need to be fixed. I don't know what the deal was with getting the show started that late outside of the pole and wires being knocked down but that needs to be the first issue to be solved. The heat races where good but the feature was a snoozer. I’ve never seen Kankakee race like that. Hope that doesn’t happen again. O well on to the next race at Peoria tonight.

    I get that stuff happens out of your control, but you have to adjust to it. Scrap the hot lap/qualifying for the 2 support classes, run their heats in conjunction with the B's for mods and lates, then after that come right back with the A mains for mods and lates. Unbelievable that UMP can't do anything outside the box, ever. Then those who want to stay for the 2 support class features can do so after the other classes are done.

    Couldn’t agree more!!
    Maybe put someone with a backbone in charge and enforce some rules. First rule: the late model feature on a weeknight will be on the track by 9:30. You can run as many support classes as you want but the late model heats, consi’s and feature take precedent.

    I’d agree. The crates & stock car guys didn’t need hot laps. Especially since they know the track.

    That boy is pretty good. I'm excited to see his career take off.
