Attended as as spectator on Sat, very reasonable $27 adm for seniors. Sat next to my friend Steve and met and talked with former driver Jimmy Broderick from CT in the stands! Plus's: festive atmosphere, good variety and priced concessions. Many activities for the kids. Parking was more organized too, only 1 announcement all day to move a car. Minus's: Show dragged out - way too much downtime. One of the loudspeakers in turn 1 was down. Bathrooms had to close due to frozen pipes? With the cold temps they could have timed warm ups to set the line ups. Mods should have been on the track for their feature by 130 or 2 at the latest. Several controversial calls too. Seems like they made the rules up as they went along. Final event, Dirt Mods ended at approx 715pm ish in 30 degree temp. Give it an A-. Cannot complain too much, glad Diane is keeping it alive. I've witnessed prob 45 of the 50 Derby's and I have attended at least 1 show per year at Wall since 1960 inclusive so the place is dear to my heart.
