They used to be on the front stretch and the last event of the evening. Im sure its great for the track.

OH WOW!! :S

Thats kind of crazy... I hope if thats the plan, I hope they have that clean up crew work serious overtime..lol!! I know its the end of the night and all...but that can't be good for the racing the following weekend... :-

I always thought race tracks weren't all about racing.

Do you run late models on the ball diamond durning the 7th inning strech? 4-funs on the soccer pitch? Thunders on the ice during second intermission? Kids bike races at the opera?

Also, for the suggestion that the run the deby on the track, you'd end up killing people. The cars would get far to much traction. Unless you dump a load of dirt on the track... Or maybe sunset is going to convert to a dirt track LOL

Yea they had better work fast considering they shut the track lights off a half-hour after the last event.

we'd better inform the families of all the drivers who survived the last 20 derbys at sunset then

What do you think the 7th-inning stretch is in the first place? There's plenty of gimmicky/non-sport stuff going on at other sporting events as well, although in different amounts and types depending on their business models and target audiences. If it's helping to put butts in seats (and indirectly helping to pay purses) then what's the big deal?
