While I like high speeds, I like a racing service whereby there is a lot more passing action. It's kind of sad to live in TN and not be able to enjoy racing like the tracks in the Midwest offer, such as Brownstown, Eldora, Portsmouth, etc. I'm not sure if the promoters don't know how to run in/prepare the tracks in TN or what? Perhaps they are too high banked, etc.? Maybe the red clay versus brown clay is the difference? Nonetheless, I have to go out of state to watch great racing, sadly enough.
Uh too high BANKED how is that possible the track I go to is high banked it's about 20 degrees banking in the corners their is lot of passing all through the field and most of the time passing for the Lead great racing this track is in Pevely mo.

You have your opinion. Others have theirs. I go to a lot of races and this is a 'racing gossip" forum. If I choose to complain about poor scheduling or whatever. I will do that.

Except for the fact several of us would have been going except for the weather? The same weather that cost them cars, which in turn makes the consy unnecessary. So that effects the program. Other than that.... yeah.

Agree completely. Ridiculous. Just burn the track up a little more before the feature. .....I'm still one saying they'll never get it in.

Postponed due to snow...make up date to be announced later.

I will have to say I'm a bit baffled by this move. It snowed for 45 minutes and it's already over. The snow never stuck to anything at all. You've already ran the entire set of heat races, and you cancel because of snowflakes that didn't affect one thing. Personally if you are already committed, I feel you should make the effort to finish it. The drivers are ready to go. At this point, you make everyone else look smart by saying the races should have never happened. I don't know the rules, but when they give a reschedule date, only 23 cars can race, correct?
-
You should know why they cancelled.

Yes, I hate to think that, but yes I know. Really should have never tried.

It should have been avoided all together. It's not like you couldn't see this coming. When the word snow is mentioned in the forecast, game over. Like I said earlier in the week, they were on the wrong side of common sense.

The Speedway definitely didn't win any fans this weekend. They may have lost some, though.

Hate the way this all played out for the track and series.
Surely they were going to start all 23.
