I'm curious, what time did that show at NES finish up? Down here it's not uncommon for our guys to be standing around in the staging lane at 11 or even 11:30 waiting for the Super Crate Thunder Hobby Bomber Stock feature to mercifully end so we could run our 25 lapper.
I do remember leaving one track after 1am with a feature running on the track while another class was waiting for their turn in the staging lane.
They give you so many reasons not to attend down here
