Im a little confused on this. Can you clarify what he did, Im not following it? Did he pick the fastest 16 cars?
He wasn't there the first day at all, The timing system went bad (due to some rain)in one lane, so they only qualified cars in the lane which the timing lights were working. Rich finally shows up the second day and was told of the problem. By the time he got there half of the people and racers had left and went 35 miles to another track to race. They had picked 16 cars the first day, but many of them had left, so he decided to take down all the advertising, and not film the race, most of the spectators didn't show up the 2nd day either due to the crap that happened on friday. I don't even know how much he did pay out, but they ran the race with no clocks, so no one could run too fast/break out. It was first to the strip came back.
Admittly they did have a good race at Memphis the yr. before though and it was telivised.
The race at Shrevesport i mentioned was also telivised and some of the locals living close to me were picked, but none of the guys that i knew.
