A 'tip of the cap' to the staff/crew at WRP for a nice, efficient program last night!!
Way to go Rob Winks!
Dallas Hewitt is so very close to parking in Victory Lane too!
GOOD JOB!
WRP crew: Keep an eye on the rough driving-herding-slashing-blocking in the trucks and mini-sprints Some torn up equipment because of it last night.......

Tip of the cap!

6 classes is too many
28 August 2011 - 07:36 PM
WRP Owners/Management:
Please, look into going back to 4 classes per night, for next year!!
Having 6 classes just plain makes the night too long!! SOMETHING has to be done to speed up/shorten the program on any given night! Races start at 7, and are getting done at Midnight (when there hasn't been a rain delay). Watching 5 hours of racing is too long. Kids are falling asleep on their parent's laps, and people have started leaving after about the 3rd feature, no matter what is left to run...... People are missing out on good close racing, because it's taking too long to get 6 classes completed, and they are loosing interest, getting tired and going home, complaining about the spin outs and stupid driving, etc...and leaving.
There are 2 classes that have struggled to get 15 cars per night...and some nights, the car count is a lot closer to 10 per night!! These are classes that almost begged to run at WRP, after being cut before...and people on Racestud have complained and griped because those classes have been cut in the past. I'm not blaming the guys who are bringing their cars, but where are the rest of them?? Watching 2 heat races, and a feature for 11 cars is nuts. Again, not the fault of the guys who have their car there, but for the others, come on.........
Run the 3 classes with the highest average car counts each week, and then rotate the other 3 classes (1 per night).
BTW, last night, the Mods had 7 yellows during their feature. That's crazy!! I don't know what the magic number is, but after a certian number of yellows, the entire feature needs to be Black Flagged, and sent to the pits....then that feature is brought back out after all of the other features have been run, and restarted where they left off!! (applies to any/all classes) Maybe when guys have to sit there until almost Midnight to run their feature, they can get their act together. Also, if somebody causes 2 yellows, they get black flagged, and they are done for that race.
It was so bad last week, that when the Mods rolled out last night, people around me were placing bets on how many yellows they would have for this feature. The racing is good, but it's way too broken up with yellow, after yellow, after yellow!
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this post, but it's the truth.
