Last year the Late Model feature, which was the final event of the evening, took the checkered flag at 9:37 PM Central. Granted it was a weeknight but even our opening night weekly show this past Saturday night with 6 divisions and close to 100 cars was done by 10:15.Originally posted by thexfactor0210 View PostDang was hoping for a quick show with a 3 hour drive home afterwards

Kid, I have to admit it's generally better now than it used to be at Macon. I love the place no matter what division is the headliner and attend at least 7 or 8 events at Mighty Macon every year. However, ol' Back Gate Bob caught so much flack over a debacle involving a POWRi midget show a couple of years ago that went way, way too long and the track went to hell because of excessive support classes. He publicly promised to cut back on the support divisions. That lasted about half the season.Originally posted by kidrock View PostBob Sargent doesn't mess around with his shows.
I expect that the Saturday show will not be a marathon but it isn't all that rare at Macon. I know, I've sat through a few!

Unless Sarge has changed his policy they don not allow carry-in drinks. I don't think they'll bother you about a bottle of water but that's about it.Originally posted by wells9 View PostIts been some time since I have been to Macon. Are you allowed to bring in a mug of your favorite beverage with you to your seat? Any info would be appreciated. Really looking forward to Saturday. Thanks everyone.
