Shadowracer - the stands were about 2/3 full maybe.  I've seen more,
but considering the weather, not bad.  Yes the support divisions were
happy, except for the mini stock A feature runners that got to run
about 12 laps after the Limited late model feature ran maybe 1 1/2 hours
(just guessing on that).  Maybe they could have divided the remaining time
between divisions when it got close to the midnight curfew.  Just a suggestion.

In thinking about it - if the crowd from the pits hadn't flowed into the
main stands, I doubt there would have been very many people.

As a short track fan , I wasn't impressed by the amount of cautions . I really did nap between cautions and the restarts . I found that rather boring to say the least . Lining up cars after crashes became ridiculous ! Very time consuming and the crowd was getting tired of waiting . I wanted to go down and set the caution flag on fire , just so we didn't have to deal with it anymore . Even on Saturday , when we had a few hours of sunshine , the midget cars were sent to the track . It would have been more fun seeing some high horsepower cars enter the track and get the excitement and action rolling . The LLM feature was a joke as McWhirter beat his way through the cars . When you go through entire laps with your bumper attached to the car in front of you , this is when bad wrecks are a short distance away . The same crews with these cars were freaking out after the race on other drivers ! Shawn can be a great driver when he puts his mind to it and his talent to the pavement . Last week at Flamborough was the same thing , impatient and over driving the car till it was spun out . There's nothing I enjoy better than a driver using his full ability to drive his car and win a race . Thats what makes this show more fun for everyone .

over 12 hours of racing....my goodness.

I have mixed feelings over the colors, a lot of cars, a lot of racing(lil to much though) a lot of bonehead driving.

I don't get why...people think when going down the back stretch before the green is the time to go....it was like freakin bumper cars before the green flag!? .   I started to wonder why people would not take it easy, then I thought well maybe that's one of the problems....a few are taking it to easy off the start..and some are going to hard and it's just making it worse.

As for how the event was run...they worked well cleaning up the track and good that they had an extra tow truck and a sweeper...but they need to get some officials-drivers radios for this event next year.....because it took WAY to long getting the cars back into the proper order.

I'm not quiet sure why Bob backed off on black flagging people, from what I seen from him in the past is I thought he was to strict but last night after the heats all he did was give a few warnings....and you had people running all over the back of each other.... I understand it's just the fact that it's to many cars on to small of a track..but never the less, people need to use there heads.

the LM race was pretty rough and got annoying....but the LLM race topped them all.

caution..after caution...after caution.   I don't even know where to start, because every re-start it was just everyone pounding on each others bumpers...until somebody got spun, then line it up again and do it over and over.

a lot of accidents happened when the caution came out to people trying to slow down..and even on the caution/pace laps!!! people were wrecking....because 1 car slowed down..or the officials went to talk to somebody and the guys behind went..BANG..BAM..BOOM..(this applies to all the divisions)

Was anyone from here at the event purely as a grandstand spectator?

*raises hand*

anyone know what happened to the 42 of Jamie Ramsay in the LM feature did he get involved in any wrecks?

Think he got in a couple of spins..... then one time during the caution laps(like  the field running behind the pace car..not  just slowing down for the caution) ..some how people  got stacked up and crashed into each other..and somebody got stuck up on the hood of the 42.      

He looked to me like he could work the outside pretty well, but to many cautions and he never got no where.

funny how some of the biggist cheers came when they fliped the sign down "cautions count" ...lol

There was quiet a reaction when they stoped Walters to talk to him about jumping the starts...loud cheers..and some funny quote's like "Why don't you stick your (fill in the blank) in his mouth...I'm sure he'll like that"  lol

Now besides all that....I'm a race fan, and I enjoyed myself....the event did run to long...there were to many yellows.  but I had a great time..and will come back next year for sure.

congrats to all the winners! 

I didnt think it was to bad a show besides the llm and lm enduro races, the llm had a 50 minute curfue and were 23 laps in when it came into effect, and they started counting cautions, the lm took forever because of simple annoying spins and drivers who fight for there spot back after comming off of pit road and fight for 5 laps then finally goto the back.Also the use of pit road slows things down the minis and four funs that take 15 minutes to line up cause they want to send there crew to the infield is ridiculous. Besides that thunders, four funs and mods i felt had the best features to watch.

I was there as a "spectator" on Saturday, I helped out a few people I knew as well, but I wasn't there in any official capacity... driver or crew. I don't think there was very many people at the track who were "pure" spectators, everyone seemed to be either racing, with a crew, or regulars at some track who were hanging out with people who were racing from their home track... but anyways I guess when the weather is like that you're going to get the hardcore only sticking around. If the weather was better it would have been interesting to see how many "real fans" would have come out...
