they try to cater to every class known to man and run them all in a VERY short time frame (6 hours) cannot be done with breakage,oildowns,crashes not enough time to do it---Oh well as K Wigginton always says "ya can't fix stupid"

Differ with you, the circus exhibition classes are NOT the bracket cars who've fought hard for an opportunity to win their respective national championship. Bracket racing is still the foundation of the sport last time I checked. They could have gotten them run earlier to be sure but they earned the right to be on the 'big stage'. I also agree they could have done a better scheduling job, they are completely unrealistic about the time it takes to run the alcohol and fuel cars. If the "Garlits rule" had been implemented (have to start 'after' your run or you're disqualified) then you'd have seen better racing all the way around.
