Only Crown Jewel I have missed. What is their R/O date for Sat. night's race? I know the weather looks good but I would like to plan ahead since I have a 12-14 hr drive! Thanks for any advise for this race!

They will do everything possible to get Saturday in. Last time it rained out was in 2009 (I think). They ended up running on Sunday starting in the late afternoon.

The year it rained all weekend they ran a full 1 day show Sunday, I believe they started @ 2pm

Thanks husker and bloomy- that is the info I was looking for!

You should really try to get to at least one of the two preliminary nights. The racing is too good to miss, if you like passing.

Feature is usually real good but my favorite nights are Thursday and friday

[dirt33]

I'm excited to get there for the prelim nights this year. This is always a busy time of work for me, so I have only been able to make Saturday nights in past years. Each year, it has burned me as I know that Thursday and Friday are killer racing. Plus, Dingus...

Thanks guys. I am going all 3 nights-didn't mean to insinuate I was just going Sat.! If I'm gonna drive that far,I want the hat trick for sure!

Remember to keep in mind that the pits are open to general public @ 2 or 3 each day (check schedule) no extra charge...

Visit the hall of fame museum on turn two. Lots of neat stuff there and usually on sat, there are retired stock car drivers talking about days past in the early afternoon.

TJ Slideway go kart rental, just north of town on highway 14 is interesting. You can see the grandstand racers show just how easy it really is.

Dingus bar, across hy 14, from the track, isn't as crazy as the good old days, is still fun and you may run into your favorite racer, or not, there after the races.

Seems last year there was live entertainment on Fri. or Sat. night, just outside the pit entrance, after the races. Not sure if that's a every year occurrence. The band wasn't too bad. One thing for sure, there is always more stuff to do, than there is time to do it.

Thanks. Do all cars run both preliminary nights or do they split them up like they do for the sprint nationals?
