Does that mean support classes should not bother to show up? Honestly, if you run a modified or midget and read this, it would seem like there's a pretty good chance you'll be paying to race and not get your feature in. That probably gets rescheduled for a date that may not work for you plus you'll have to pay to get in again if it does. Might as well just run one class if that's the only priority and save everyone else their money.

Actually it means your more likely to get it in as well as the rest of the show will be sped up.

...don't worry...be happy.
Positive thoughts.

And that's why they are called support classes are we there to watch mods or tq's no we are there to watch sprints

Yeah but to pay the purse we gotta have them mods ,so respect them.

Support classes are just that,they are supporting the payouts for ALL the classes running.Through the extra grandstand tickets,the pit passes,the entry fees.All that support and pay their way to participate should be considered and not forgotten.Without each other's support,most cannot stand alone.

Man, I was skeptical mid-week with the forecast being the way it's been but it's easy to see Brownstown is doing their damndest to get this is.

If you don't like it, keep your mod or TQ at home. Let's be honest, most everyone is coming to see the sprints anyways. Be lucky Jim and those in charge even picked your cars as support classes. Either embrace it or stay home, I'm not going to be upset either way.

That said, thanks Brownstown, I'll be there.

Support classes are certainly just as important as any other. The situation at hand is we know we will be taking on Mother Nature and we have our boxing gloves ready. What we are looking at is as far as we can tell, it will be late when the weather arrives and we will be just on the edge of it at times. By starting earlier we think we have a good honest shot at getting the entire show in. We are definitely wanting to make sure the sprint feature is over first because we do not run sprints on a regular basis and respect that the drivers will soon be racing elsewhere for points. We can always run a double feature if need be in the Modifieds and TQS. Please do not assume that support classes are not important to us.

We hope everyone respects our decision in starting earlier to try our best to get the entire show in, brings the family and has a great night of side by side, heart pounding, edge of your seat open wheel action!

That's not how I read it. Nowhere in the message does it say support classes are getting delayed or rescheduled. Don't be so paranoid.

You might be there to watch sprints, but those teams work their ass off for the chance to race just like the sprint teams do. Typical arrogance of "sprints only" fans. You're right about the term support classes though. Without their support don't plan on making enough money to keep a track open. Just ask Gas City how sh****** on your support classes for years works out.

I can certainly respect your decision to start earlier. Great move that should benefit all classes and give them all a better chance to get the show in.

The part I didn't care for was the emphasis on getting in the sprints and giving the impression that the other classes aren't as important because they race at Brownstown more often. I get what you were trying to say, but don't forget that you will also have modified and midget teams that normally race elsewhere who can't come back for a makeup either. The statement about making sure to get the sprints in just gives the impression that they are the only class that matters. As a regular stock car track I'm pretty confident that isn't true. Just keep the show moving as I'm sure you guys will. A few years ago I went to a race where rain was threatening. They hurried through the show and got the sprint feature in, then screwed around for 10 minutes with victory lane pictures and interviews for the top 3 finishers. Mods came out, ran 4 laps and it started pouring. There were teams that had traveled 3-4 hours that were in that feature. 2 weeks later there were 13 of the original 20 starters back to run the make up. But thankfully we got to hear those victory lane interviews. Good luck with your show tonight. Hopefully the weather isn't an issue.

Really have to watch what you say. Always someone waiting to pounce at a comment. Everyone knows they will do everything in their power to get a full show in. Hope everyone that makes it there enjoys a great show! Props to brownstown for doing all they can to give the drivers a chance to race and the fans a good show! HAMMER DOWN!

Arrogant sprint only fan? No but I will tell you one thing this will be the 1st time I have been to a sprintcar race since my daughter passed away in november so yes all I care about tonight is watching sprintcars kinda part of the healing process getting back to the race track

Ahhhhh, racing season is back. Let the complaining begin. 🏁

I believe you hit the nail on the head Jen!

I'm sorry to hear that about your daughter passing. No matter which class you are there to see, hopefully the weather holds off and you can enjoy the evening at the racetrack.

Not to sound too harsh but if you don't want to be treated like a support class than race a sprint car or late model and you can be the headliner too. With what some spend on modifieds you could run a sprint car. Support classes are exactly that, they support the headliner like the opening band that you never heard of, only a few fans actually came to see them, but the place fills up when the headliner hits the stage. Not to diminish any effort involved in any racing.

Hate to miss a good race, but I am going to take a pass on this one. It's just a little too iffy to make the five hour plus round trip, and usually if it's iffy and I show up it rains the race out and if I stay home the race runs and is an epic event! Well, as Paul Harvey used to say, "ain't no need worrying, nothings gonna turn out right no how".

Re: Time change for no way out 40
 

Aw, what's a little 5 hour drive...I just drove the best of 2 days to get back for this race so not quitting now. I think they'll get it in. If they don't I'll have a rain check....and a 2 hour+ drive to get home. :)
