when I talked to clyde over the weekend he said he would like to try some sunday afternoons, not jump up right off the bat and run them. He said he would experiment with sundays when tracks have special shows going on, on Fridays and Saturdays. Haubstadt Indiana use to run sunday afternoons. They always had good turn outs. I don't know of any tracks in this area that have ever tried sunday afternoons and my family has been involved in stock car and sprint car racing since the 50's. I don't see a problem with trying it considering no other tracks have. If it don't work they can easily stick with Fridays. The problem with Fridays now is that the track has to be shutdown by midnight because of complaints from area residents about the noise. most people don't get off of work until 5, then bust their butts to get to track by 7 for hotlaps. Most people would say well 7-midnight should give plenty of time to get races in, but lets be realistic..every class is capable of causing 3 or more cautions during heat races and features on average. I do agree at any race track races should be done by midnight, but under certain events that take place during the night I have seen it be impossible. All we can do is support the track. Because one day dirt track racing in this area will be gone, the closest track to travel to for anyone could be 150 miles. I'm all for supporting any track, may not agree with everything they do but that's with any hobby or sport. At least someone is trying to bring the track back to life and give it an opportunity. Everything else in the past has failed.
