Have it marked on the calendar. Looked at the weather guess and could foil tonight's race.  The weather guessers are forecasting rain.  RIDE SAFE. |

Ron just saw on Fox an interview and the driver was standing near what appeared to be treaded tires. Believe a true racing slick not much good on dirt. Most of the dirt tracks I've been to at the end of the night the surface of the clay was usually a black looking shine-dry slick in racers term! You git the clay prepped just right at times was like racing on asphalt. RIDE SAFE.

Have to take your word on that, never been much of a circle track race fan. Be safe out there, there's some crazy folks on the roads these days.  Rams |

No, just No.
I love Sprint car racing and this just looked like a bunch of rich kids in Daddy's Lincoln
Town Car trying something they have no business doing.
No, keep your fancy rich kids cars in your fancy race tracks and leave the dirt for po' folks.
(Yes, sadly, I do know what a Sprint car costs now days.)
P.S. I was hoping for more from Christopher Bell. He'd have beat them all in a Sprint Car. Somebody didn't read the tea leaves right when they set up his car.

I started out and stayed in the full body junk division. Had a frikkin BLAST doin it. Did NOT cost a lot of money but a 1st 2nd or 3d in the feature come in handy now and then. Got to hot lap an alky modified. For the time-late 60s early 70s was Serious fast! Rather see the dirt on that half mile than say a mile and a half or a superspeedway-Daytona or Talladega. And it Are ONLY once a year. RIDE SAFE. |
