    Hey! Let's do track prep after the opening ceremonies!

    So the opening ceremonies are a long winded affair, followed immediately by track prep. Everybody rushes from the concessions to get to their seats in the stands, ready to go.......and nothing happens.

    Yea, this is a pathetic excuse of programming. 30 minutes of racing has taken hours now. I think I'll go to bed and watch the replay tomorrow.

      They lost all that revenue on Thursday, so delay the program and recoup part of the loss. The way the campground was such a mess I figure they didn't make any money there.

        Aaron Tippen sure looked like he was having fun. He had soemthing to say to each driver taht went by. What a pro.

            Well, at least they had a nice smooth racetrack tonight, no bouncing through the ruts like last night. So, maybe the track prep wasn't such a bad idea.

                  That is because, as he said, he grew up going to dirt races - Riverside Speedway in Travelers Rest SC. He grew up in Greer, SC. Great dude that loves racing.

                    Lee did look rough last year, didn’t seem to be thrilled to be there….Maybe he was under the weather but my wife and I both commented about that when we were watching last year.
                    Mr Tippen was having a blast it looked like.

                    Congrats to fergy.
                    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                      When Davenport went up, it looked like Tippen was talking about his shoes. Lee Greenwood looked like death last year, but he still sounded good.

                        Exactly what I did. WOO at Sharon ran an entire show with support class before the Show Me feature hit the track.

                          Greenwood was either hammered or he was in his bag of goodies, he looked like crap and he wanted outta there.

                            The opinion I got (and I was there): he felt being at a Dirt race was beneath him.

                              From someone who’s been around Greenwood a couple of times, he’s a major douche canoe.
