Enjoyed the Ovals, all except the features, BORING. After Trophy Cup, everything else is BORING. Sure, put the fast cars up front so the fans tend to watch the front runners, while the rest of the field is ignored. Seems sanctions and promoters don't get it that the Trophy Cup format is a sea change in racing. Most beefs about the Outlaws is they put the fastest up front resulting in nose to tail racing, same deal in most sanctions. Full inversion based on points ensures great fan friendly racing. The payout based on points prevents sandbagging because more points means more cash.

Every race was won from the front row last night. Glad I decided to stay home and save the money.

I agree, fast guys up front is boring. If nothing else at least invert the top 12 or so. Went to Stockton last night, a lot of torn up equipment, but for the most part not the most exciting racing. Rico was on fire all night and was the guy to watch for the most part. Already looking forward to next years Trophy Cup.

What happened to Damion? Didn't see him in the feature results.

First off thank you PAS I/We were watching sprint cars for three nights in a row. And we were close to home. Secondly there will not be a different format until it is not a sanctioned race. Sanctions have a rule book to follow. So you can't compare the trophy cup to the Ovals. My thoughts go back to the 1st lap of last nights main. I thought the whole field had to complete a lap for that lap to count. If that is the rule why was there not a complete restart when Swanson was coasting from turn 2 to turn 3 ? . And I have to say the officials were asleep down in turns 3 and 4. Way late on the calls to Kevin and Jim in the flag stand who I believe are absolutely the best in the business. Also turn 3&4 officials were very slow to drivers and cars in need after any incidents. Can't wait for Turkey Night.
We need more sprint car racing at our home track.
