I've heard rumors that the True Value mods are hoping for a one day show at Seekonk in October. Was wondering which do the fans / drivers prefer?

1. a one day show on Saturday

2. a one day show on Sunday

3 Keep it a two day show as it's always been

LI, there are rumors about that, but it is just that, rumors. While the final schedule for 2009 is still in the final stages, even talking to one True Value official, it seems that it is just speculation. The want from the teams were less 2 day shows. Right now, it appears there are only 2 of them left. Thompson's 2 day show is no longer. Just Seekonk and Lee. The competitors understand that as much of a business as it is for the teams and series, it is also a business for the tracks that invite them. Look at Seekonk and Lee for their season finales. There would not be enough time on the schedule to run practice, qualifiers, consi and a main event with all of the divisions out there. (the 2 hour main events for the pro's not withstanding). The tracks are trying to make their final paycheck for the season, and to either alienate another division that is competing, or dragging their program out longer on a most likely cold day will hurt more than help. I am not trying to create a discussion about a show taking too long because it was interuppted by a demo, that's a different discussion. This is just to look at it from a different point of view.
