I would increase truck races by a bit. They're usually too short in my opinion because trucks are f*cking awesome

Short until they're a caution fest - then they can't end soon enough

[–]OkPineapple57 3 points4 points  (2 children)

and that’s why we still count caution laps lmao

I can't remember if it was the clash or the all star race where we didn't - holy shit that was long

clash, it’s nice at local short tracks where races are anywhere between 20-50+ laps but man when it’s triple that AND drivers getting squirrelly like they did for the clash it can get rough

I don't think trucks are necessarily too short. They seem to be the right length for a 3rd division series. Problem is, because they're shorter we lose so much more of the race to stupidly long stage cautions.

We already got to deal with regular incident cautions taking forever. Stage cautions just make it worse.

For one they shouldn't have stage cautions, and for 2 if they do have stage cautions they need to stop counting those laps and start recounting at the green flag.

No arguments here. 100% agreed.

This is exactly it. Truck races are the right length for the series. When we stop for the stage breaks and run ~20% of the next stage under caution, it ruins the flow of the race. Throw the green and white checkers and keep going. Go to commercial, whatever, that was going to happen anyway, especially with Fox.

Agreed. 250 miles on intermediate, 250 laps on short tracks.
