Went to Grandview as a paying spectator in the stands. 

Likes: Great field of cars as usual. Track was in great shape and the new lighting installed before the beginning of the season certainly continues to improve the enjoyment at the track. I believe all the speakers were replaced also and the volume and clarity were spot on. The wingless Super Sportsman were there also, and management kept the show running at a very economical pace with very little down time. Jeff Ahlum manages to name all the cars in the line up before the green flag is dropped. You simply can't beat the racing at Grandview. Von Dohren, Kressley, Strunk and Buckwalter all having to go through the consi to qualify.

Dislikes: and this is a HUGE dislike for me !! The "pastor" or "reverend" imposing his beliefs during the invocation. Do we really need, and I quote , " Father God, please help our country to rise out the deep disrepair that it is currently in and Father God, help us to Make America Great Again..." C'mon man !

When going to Grandview, no matter where you sit, you're never more than two people away from somebody that's smoking.

Suggestions for Improvements: the usual grandstand boards, bathrooms, etc., but knowing what we know, I'd be happy to squeeze my 2022 self in front of a urinal that was made for the size of a 1968 man, to have the place stay open for a few more years.

Will I be returning: I have a 3:00pm wedding next Saturday, and gonna feel the warden out over the week to see how she feels about me bailing on that around 6. Will definitely be returning for the Sixer!

I've never seen the tshirt/decal/hat place be so crowded. There was a line there all night ! I swear that I feel deep down in my gut that we're gonna be getting an announcement stating that next year will be the final year so that the track can have a proper send off....or maybe it's wishful thinking .
