With the time a Fab 4 show is normally completed I can't imagine them being able to add 4 cylinders after the Pro Stocks and expect workers and safety crew to want to work later.

Maybe if they give all pit income from the 4 cylinders to employees and safety crew they could pull it off.

If Pro Stocks are allowed to use up MY personal fan time giving them hot laps and heats I will no longer be able to go unless I skip watching the last two features because it will put my getting home too late.

I'll probably have to leave to get home safely after the third feature or sooner.

 

I also don't see 4 cylinders on their Fab 4 schedule?  

So, what you're saying as that as a race fan, watching racing uses up your fan time.

No.

 

Because of my age and an 1.5 hr drive I can only stay at the track so long before it's no longer safe for me to drive home.

If my allotted time at the track per my own ability to stay and watch is used up on a Friday Fab 4 show by something other then normal Fab 4 racing, I will have to leave probably not seeing the last two features if it does become a 5 on Friday show.

 

An example is when there are fireworks at the track.

I enjoy the great fireworks put on at the track but it does cause me to have to leave before all features are concluded.

Well not to speak poorly on any local tracks, but as a promoter I have had the opportunity to travel to several tracks both local and at some distance. All are ran differently some more efficiently than others. There are some tracks that have 6-7 classes per night, start fairly late but get their show in within a few hours very little downtime. IMO this is a model for local tracks to seek. For instance, at Merrittville we started fairly late if memory serves me correctly it was 6:30 or 7:00 had I believe 6-7 classes took time to have a walk a lap time for fans and we were out of there by 10:00 thats packed up on getting on the road. Honestly, heading there I thought with that schedule we would be leaving the track super late, but not true. It was a great show and I think fans and racers appreciated the professionalism and fast happening show. Again, just my perspective and opinion

Why don't you bring it to the attention of the Lernerville management. If they treat the fans the same as us racers they will tell you " If you don't like it you can go somewhere else". And guess what, we did. They'll never get another nickel out of my pocket.

Personally, I don't think any track should run more than four classes.  Many tracks have too many!!  I have said this many times in recent years!!

Lernerville signs on with Lucas this year and then all of a sudden it seems limited teams will follow the series. Only McCreadie, Bronson, O'Neal, Thornton , Spencer Hughes, & Pearson have confirmed to be running. Then Clanton, Richards, Blair, Chris Simpson, all announce for WoO. Hopefully, Lucas picks up a few more teams.

XR has guys at least considering not committing to a series until the last minute. Im not gonna pretend to know anyones financials, but how long XR sticks around is gonna be interesting. Thats a lot of money theyre throwing around, so you might as well at least think about going for it while its there

Might WoO be the overall lesser series and those who announced are effectively cheery picking where they feel it will benefit them the most?

Two non all powerful series.
If you're going to put the effort in you pick what you think is best for you not either weak series.

Same as you do local racing.

But you always seem to chime in on Lernerville threads, so are you full of shit and there every Friday night or do you just still have a hard on for the place? Maybe a little of both?

Maybe Gary stole his girlfriend, and he blames Mike for it.
