      I agree good show by three different, however if you don't qualify well it is tough to pass on the track. I like time trials, but that track doesn't seem to allow for much passing in the heat races. There was more on Sat than Friday.Also, Personally I'd like to see more than one sprint qualify at a time, plus eliminate their dashes.Thursday sort of sucks for late model fans as all you get to see is maybe 9 laps of your favorite drivers. Hotlaps and time trials.

        My friend said the dust was so bad he couldn't see the sprint cars.

          It was tough, but remember this is not pavement racing. Racing surface was smooth

              That's a bad deal, really no excuse for that.

                I agree. It was overly dusty and you had to b on your game keeping up w the sprints.

                  I wonder if they were trying some thing new in the new track surface?

                    I don't. They just didn't get enough water in it to any depth. And three big horse classes and tires burnt the *^%$ out of it.

                    Spare the water and spoil the track.

                      I believe they put more banking to the track and new clay yes it was dusty but a great weekend of racing have gone for 10 strait years all ways a great show that's why it sells out

                        You know absolutely nothing whatsoever about track prep.

                          I'm going to pass that off as nonsense. You are just wrong period.

                          Sometimes things get stupid on here, and you just did.

                            I maintain that you don’t understand a f*cking thing about prepping a track. You make it even more obviious every time you comment on it.

                              Always look forward to the World Finals each year. That said I agree with one of the above posters about Thurs night. I will probably skip Thurs night next year as just not enough racing that night and could save a night of hotel. I know the vendors grt charged a lot to come set up but the Whisky River trailer was charging $8 for a liquor drink, which to me is reasonable, but across the way a cup of sweet tea was $7. I feel like the excitement has worn down for the four wide salute with all three classes on the track at once and it takes way too long for it to happen.

                              Side note- do not stay at the Hometown Suites off Bruton Smith Blvd behind Wendys. Total craphole. Room never got cleaned in 4 days and honly got clean towels once and had to get those from the lady washing them. A/c broke on Sat too. Many of the rooms had families actually living in them if that tells ya anything.
