***SMOKY MOUNTAIN SPEEDWAY TENNESSEE TIP-OFF CLASSIC Friday night results***

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.

how many this year?

[acetone]

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 on consy

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

[#FALSuperman]

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.

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.

Man I'm tired of being right. ....dumb@ss track promoting of the year so far.

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

See many saying the consi would have been unnecessary but they were actually going to start 22 cars like normal and send one car to the trailer. The top 4 were transferring with 2 provisionals.

Hate the way this all played out for the track and series.

Surely they were going to start all 23.

I'd say cause there's hardly a butt in the bleachers and the track gonna take a major hit on a 15k to win, 750 to start. Needed those fans. ....on rescheduled date, unless stated by track before, anybody can still show up and start in the back of a 6 or less car b-main.

Right on!!!!

They tweeted a lineup showing top 4 transfer and 2 provionals. I'd say they would have started them all though. It was going to be a big name like Ogle, Kerr, or Hill.

[Pennsboro23]

They screwed this one up.

[rickybrown1952]

Can somebody answer this question for me how can you have 2 provisionals when their's only 23 cars for a 24 car field don't make sense
