Dome duration

[CIRF]

Btw... the Saturday races at the Chili Bowl start around 9am and finish the A-main around 11pm. I am there for every lap of every race, but many others fans do not show up until the C-mains around 7pm.

t501tx, hats off to you!! This year will be our 9th trip to Tulsa and we've yet to set through the whole Chili Bowl Saturday afternoon/evening alphabet soup. I truly admire those who watch the N-main's through the A-main on Saturday. I'm not sure my ass could survive setting there all that time even though we have top row seats on the main straight away which allows us to stand whenever we want.

Too many cars for the venue

Really? The Chili Bowl pulls off a great show year in, year out with a car count larger than the dome and every last racecar has to be push started. Maybe the powers that be in St. Louis should extend the show another day or two. If 3 nights is good then 4 or 5 nights should certainly be better for the promoter, the hotels, the parking venue's and the bars and restaurants, don't ya' think?

Omg please stop talking about the f'n chili bowl all the time and comparing everything to it. They do this this way and they are done by this time yada yada yada. I was referring to LM's anyway not any other divisions. This isn't the midget racing forum. Smh. Cheese and rice...

[t501tx]

I agree... Tulsa and the Dome are apples and oranges.

But lets step back a bit... I mean, we are watching LM/Mod/Midget live racing in December!! Whether the format is perfect or not we need to support this event in every way possible way. It takes a few years to iron all the bugs out of something this big.

Just remember to email or Facebook post to event sponsors after tonight and tell them how much you appreciate their support.

Wondering what thoughts were from people that went this year? First year I missed, I just thought 3 divisions was too many. $9 beers for 10 hours is too much dough for me. Was thinking ab renting today.

Then don't drink beer...

Then don't drink beer...

Next you will tell me to quit having sex

[bullring]

Lol @ MI Dirt Fan. Reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day. Same thing over and over and over.....

[dirt crow]

I definitely made the right decision not going this year. Choose football over racing. Track was a cornfield. And top really never came in. Cody said on Wednesday I believe corners were 5 foot narrower this year. Might’ve been a bad move. Stayed home and watched my Crimson Tide Roll!!! What a game! Instant Crimson Classic!!

I went to the first Silverdome NDRA race... that is all.

With all the complaints and whining I could see how a promoter would stop trying to do special events that get too many driver who want to race in Dec. How many guys have their cars torn down or up for sale by now?

With talk of limiting who should be allowed to race, maybe they should put some type of criteria for those who want to watch. That could keep those who complain constantly from watching.

The high price of beer is not to gouge people but to limit the drunkenness.

Everyone knows that it's going to take time to give every driver a chance to race more than a few laps.

[Krooser]

The high price of concessions is due to the contracts between the venue and national operators like Sports Serivices. I drank my only $16.00 beer at Tiger Stadium two games before it closed.

You can come and go as you please. We parked at a nearby parking garage and tailgated when we were raced out and wanted a beer or shot from the cooler.

Limiting entries would ruin the event imo. One of the biggest stories of the event has been the "no names" running up front. I hate they limited the mods this year. So much talent was passed up or never even thought of and considered.

It was two long days, the track wasn't very good and the racing was mediocre, but I had a smile on my face the whole time. If you tipped the bartender well he made a pretty stiff drink that was a much better deal than the $9 beers.

Post race I paid $9 for a rum and coke and Larry Flynt's and it didn't have half the vodka. He was pouring us nearly full with just a splash of Rc. Heck of a nice guy too.

$9 beers? Wow

[Jody Shannon]

I went to WWE Starcade at US Bank Arena in Cincy two weeks ago and they were $10.

These prices always come with major league venues.

On the way to The Dome I got a 15 pack of Keystone Light fo $7.99 and managed to get through most of them so my spending inside was kept to a minimum.
