Bristol Rain Contingencies...

If the drivers wanted the race cut by one third then they should cut the purse by one third. The fans paid the purse and the drivers should have no say so about the number of laps, unless track conditions have become totally unbearable. To some drivers these days the track conditions are terrible unless the track is as smooth as glass.

You sound like a typical keyboard jockey.

That totally called you out!!!!

So if you paid for a suite at the Indy 500, and they only ran 20 laps and the race was over in 15 minutes, you wouldn't feel cheated? Say no, yer a flat out liar.

i'm reminded of old school racer Dwight Oglesbee from my hometown track. on his spoiler: "Cry babies go home"

Yeah, I would feel cheated because that is way less than half of the advertised laps. They didn't reduce the Supers laps by half. There are also more than just supers racing. Maybe you only care about late models, but there are other classes I care about as well.

They aren't comparable. When a fan buys a ticket for a race, they aren't paying for a specific number of laps. The terms of sales always says stuff like "contingent on weather, subject to change, etc." When NASCAR calls a race halfway because of rain, the fans don't get half their money back.

You hit the nail on the head. It is as simple as that.

It's different when you cut the laps before the green flag falls.

It’s no different than if you went to a college football game and they decided to quit at halftime.

[Rajflyboy]

They can’t run over 40 laps? How are the taxi cabs going to run a 250 lap race next week ?

Your ticket to the Bristol Dirt Nationals pays for a lot of racing. If all you care about are the late models, go to the WOO event instead.

The late models were the first feature race last night -with 3 features afterward. 75% of the spectators left after the late model feature.

Which is typically the norm even tho some won't admit it.

My group of 14 was in that 75% percentile!
McCarter has his opinions out in Iowa about races being shortened at Bristol. We spent money to see the advertised amount of racing- last night or tonight’s races will not be impacted by weather. Seems as if there could be an issue of “false advertising “ ??
I am not an expert in laws- and as stated in one of the above post- the fine print may have them covered for changing the program. 15-16 second laps around Bristol makes a 40 lap feature very, very short. My opinion only- everybody is entitled to their own.
