      Just a tip for the future in case that happens again, if you hit submit and find out you were timed out, click back instead. Then you can copy your post, sign in, then paste in the reply box.... Better than wasting your time.

Think of this my Georgia racefan, so many of these teams are bustin' out new stuff and they need to shake things down. With the shear number of cars, just getting hot laps in and so on is quite a undertaking. We do not fool around at the Ice Bowl as far as scheduling. It is one class after another with no f-in around, trust me on that. No lolli-gagging at all. This race is actually a pain in the neck to get done, a good pain in the neck though. For the price of admission, you really get your moneys worth.

          This is a event where a race breaks out, ya get to see folks you only see once a year, or once in a awhile. Terrym, does every race have to be perfect? Run in one day or within 10 minutes?

          Even for me, this is busy event with a lot of stress announcing, but I love it.

          Well I never said anything about running the event in one day, so I guess I won't waste any more of your time.

                  A big negative 7 degrees here. 40's would be a tropical paradise where I'm from. Enjoy.

                    I have wanted to attend this race. It would be hard to have what 340 cars run in 1 day. Maybe run all hotlaps and qualifying and heats on Saturday and consis and features Sunday but better pray no rain.

                      this is what they do , except they run the hot shot and street stock heats on friday , thursday is just practice for all , a lot dont even hit the track till friday which is just practice for all upper divisions , now from friday morning till sunday evening , there is nearly always cars on the track , and yes , the ole girl is nearly burned up by sunday evening but there is always several that are very happy , the ones holding them big ole checks , LOL , any way , hope you can make it down sometime.....

                          If ya need any info on this event where a race breaks out, go to www.talladegashorttrack.com and click on the Ice Bowl section. It will have all the info on this cool event. This will be only my 11th Ice Bowl overall, getting to announce this mammoth event is even cooler. For what you pay you get a ridiculous amount of racing, you get your fill for sure.
