      Blowing (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) up before a race is way overdone.
      Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

        My biggest peeve...Intentionally stopping on the track to bring out a caution. When will they ever change this rule?????

        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          I agree on the no time trials for weekly shows.
          I'd also add only one or two provisional at specials. I raced at Lucas Oil Speedway for an alphabet soup race like 10 years ago that had 9 provisionals! Those 9 were not added but actually eliminated cars that had finished 2nd in the heat races. Haven't raced a show like that since, and never will again!

            Absolutely not ever have passing points but rather have Qualifing for big events like ump summer natlonals,woo or Lucas oil series 4 heats or more have heat winners 4,5 or six heats the winner of each heat runs a dash for cash $300 goes to winner that sets your 1st and 2nd or with 6 heats 1st 2nd and 3rd rows.

              One unassisted spin in the consi and you're done.
              1 lap penalty for intentionally bringing out the caution.
              Feature class on the track by 9 pm on a weekday show.

                  Four cylinders are a great way to get millennials interested in racing.

                  All heat races should pay four spots.

                  Quit writing rules requiring everyone to run a Chevy.

                  Let the crates merge with the supers, qualify everyone like WoO does and let the slow cars run the b main.

                  Get the bodies back to the early 2000's.

                  Bring back trophy girls.

                    I agree 100% stop qualifying and most of the extreme cost of motors will go away. That will also add more supers to your weekly shows.

                      If you are a ppv provider, START ON THE TIME you post! If its because of track prep, your paid announcers should be able to fill in the gap!

                      Im tired of thinking its my computer and hit refresh 1,000 times!

                        20k to win on anything more than 50 laps.

                        Stop with 50 lap 3k to win races, i believe those races should be 25-30 laps max.

                        Bring back more 100 lappers.

                          Three things:

                          1-Start the show at the published time. If you can't start on time how will you ever be finished at a decent hour?

                          2)Announcers-PLEASE give starting lineups during down times. How many shows have we all attended when the heat race is over and dead silence. Then as the cars come out for the next heat race, the announcer starts giving the lineup.

                          3)I don't need to hear the next wannabe contestant on "The Voice or American Idol" trying to impress with their version of the National Anthem. Sing it like it was written in the beginning.

                            The four wide salute along with long drawn out driver intros have run their course for sure.

                              Tracks should race 3 weeks per month instead of every week.

                              Limited late model engines should be all steel and smaller c.c. Size.

                              All heat races, including late models should immediately end if three cautions come out.

                              Bring back late 90s early 2000s bodies.

                              Ban double decker trailers.

                              No backup cars allowed

                              Never more than two provisionals and they should always be reserved for the top two in time trials that didn’t make the feature regardless of series regular or not.
