thanks. i needed that.

Thats a tight schedule. If it turns into a demolition derby they won't finish the 150 laps. There only getting about an hour.

Yeah but if they run 150 green it will only take about 21-23 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if the scale a little practice time back and start the feature a little earlier. I hope for the sake of the tour all those guys us their heads and make it a great show. I hope Phil Kurze or Chad really make it clear to the drivers how crucial it is to improve the quality all of our races, particularly the ones where fans have never seen the modifieds. This could be the difference between seeing more first class venues or being relegated to more of the same path we've been on (dwindling). Things happen so fast there, even the cup events are sometimes wreckfests. I'm sure this race came about because Bruton was so impressed with Loudon, I'd make it my first priority not to disappoint, at least try to knock off the first 100 laps cleanly and then do battle.

cant move the "advertised" start time forward. dont forget we're up against the truck series tv clock as well.

[Fisha695]

Anybody notice the truck series registration closes 30minutes after the race starts?

It came from the track as a Word Document so I think it's a preliminary schedule. There was nothing on the track website for Wed. other than mention of the 2 races. I emailed them because my brother is trying to book a flight for Wednesday and I was trying to see how late he could land & still make the green flag.

[ThE sHaDoW]

has anyone heard what tire we are going to run?

[Howie]

Bristol has changed a little since we were there last.
1) The front stretch grandstand
2) The back stretch
3) beyond the 3rd turn
4) Kevin on the banking between turns 1 and 2 (the infamous crossover gate in the background)

[Teds Race Tours]

I've sat in those since removed concrete grandstands. LOUD and uncomfortable. In the last picture, you can see the fence in the top left corner, that Michael Waltrip, and was it Mike Harmon hit DEMOLISHING their race cars.

Shadow-- I hope it is a Hoosier tire!

[JED]

I just recieved a NASCAR PR message.

It will be Hoosier Tires.

[RichKeator]

its right on T.C.H. front page... the whole story about the test and whose going... in the article it was stated that it is a HOOSIER tire test
