Bristol would have to get pretty bad in order to be as bad as Epping. I happened to see some of that coverage, and was amazed at how bad cars were bouncing and flopping about.

Alan, maybe they're cursed, both being former IHRA tracks ? they sure seem to be having problems selling seats for their show. As far as the ESPN3 broadcast I did notice that when they went live I logged back on and the computer broadcast was 30 second or so delayed from live tv but when the commercials played you could watch sportsman eliminations briefly, that wasn't the case before, and just maybe if they would have started sportsman at 8 am Sunday they wouldn't be completing them at 3 separate venue's.

I'm sure that's the reason.

Epping bumpy????? It's all concrete and the smoothest track I've ever been down. Every pass Greg Anderson made was within thousands of each other. The IHRA guys used to love it, one of the best tracks they had. Looks like Bristol needs some serious work, but with nobody in the seats where's the money going to come from.

Bruton Smith, that's where the money will come from! Anybody that builds a place like Zmax for 2 races a year isn't too worried about a few empty seats.
