Sunset speedway goodbye

you have official confused me

sorry sauble godbye, lack of sleep still in full effect and I'm still not happy.  Sauble should be kissing our buts for being there not trying to torture us.  I should have just gone down to crystal instead for the sprints race.

Sauble (and other local asphalt tracks) should take a lesson from Merrittville on how to run off a show, especially in poor weather. As far as I am concerned there is no excuse to subjecting your fans on a very cold night to starting your biggest race at 11:20 pm and finish around 2:15 am in the morning.  All those 300 or so fans should be able to use their ticket for at least a 1/2 price discount on a future show.

Sauble only gets about a dozen Mini Stocks and Thunder cars so all of the heats including Late Models should only take about 60-90 minutes if you are running an efficient show. Then they should have gone straight to the Late Model feature. I had concerns from the start about how long it would take to run 150 laps with breaks between segments.

As a comparison, the ACT Tour ran 100 green flag laps on the 1/4 mile Thunder Road Speedbowl in Vermont last Sunday in about 28 minutes ; Jonathan Urlin was in the field.

How many of the 31 cars were what most educated fans would call Limited late Models (ie: Sauble home track Late Models)?

Congratulations to Steve Robblee on his win in his first ever visit in a Late Model chassis (he won in the OSS style car last June I believe).

My 2008 Race Count: 13
