Well first off this is how the race format is

2-Heat Races

1-Feature

Laps- Depends on the amount of laps they would have the race... EXAMPLE- 150 lap race - 2- 25 Lap Heats 1- 50 Lap Feature...

If anyone would like to correct me or add to this go ahead!

I believe they are all green flag laps

[Teds Race Tours]

The main thing to remember here is the Heat Races provide extra entertainment value to the paying fan. YEAH!!!!!

[Hammerdown]

Which races run under this format?

[RGeeProductions]

NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour "flash" races.
Spencer and Riverhead this year.

Thanks for the info.

A 25 lap heat race and a 100 lap feature is not a "flash" race. It is a "Sub-Standard Purse" race.

We don't object to a change in format, we object racing for sub-standard purses and reduced bonus money.

This race track's normal admission is $12. For this race it's $30. No question it's a bargain compared to Thompson but why should the people who provide you your entertainment pay for it. It will cost every Tour competitor a minimum of $2000. to walk out their door to go to this race. Now add the cost of the race. Yes, we are the dumbest business men on earth.

We don't need "Flash or Sub-standard Purse" races for the sake of adding new tracks. Reward the track owners who support the Tour BUT it should be mandatory that they reward YOU with a reduced admission instead of laughing all the way to bank. Don H is still laughing and counting his money.

Thanks sHaDoW...
And just a note on why the show is not started earlier.
They can not start racing at Spencer till 5:30pm. That is a deal with the town ordinances.
