I wish they would add some dates at Lake View.

I only started the 2 at Halifax. I suck. I know that lol. Turns out I actually was 52nd in points. There were 57 places and a bunch of ties. Really nowhere to go but up, or maybe just not go to those races.

Lake View is too far off I-95 to merit consideration! LOL!

I’m just over here wishing Dixieland would go to the same engine rules as everyone else. Never been to Lakeview. Hear it’s nice.

27 miles doesn't seem that far off.....would be worth consideration if they ever wanted to expand the series.

Biggest problem is Lake View to Brinkleyville is 169 miles. You would have the same problem with Elizabeth City.

I don’t really want Red to join the challenge, just match the rules. A lot of his guys have different motors to go west. A lot of guys I know would like to come more than one night a year too.

Edit: it’s none of my business what Red does though. He’s staying open. So that’s good.

I know it isn't , but it seems like Brinkleyville is 169 miles from Fayetteville.....dang that place is a haul for me to get too.

Never been to Dixieland, have no clue about it......everyone that I've met that runs there always talks good about it though.

I run Brinkleyville (on the rare occasion I run my own car) because it’s so much easier to race on Saturday. I am at Dixieland every Friday night helping my buddy though. Dixieland is OK with me and it would keep being okay without me. There’s a few things that I really don’t like about the place but it’s pretty close to home and my friends are there. Nothing is perfect and anywhere would be like that.

The " but it's pretty close to home and my friends are there " part is very appealing....good stuff Rocky.

2018 Dixieland Speedway Super Street best pit crew, as selected by the teams. So you know, yeah that part is excellent.

Congrats man......getting noticed by your peers like that is a great accomplishment.

I go to lakeview a lot because of the very same reason .....close to home and a bunch of friends there .....we didn't do so well at lakeview this year but had a pretty good year at Fayetteville.
If what I'm hearing is even remotely close to happening at Fayetteville that place just turned into a must see for all dirt racers and fans.

The former promoter brought that place out of the dark ages, this new team is picking up where he left off and will elevate it to a premier facility if it shakes out like everyone is saying.
Thanks for what you do for the country Rocky.

I am happy to hear that Fayetteville is still moving forward, I haven’t been but that’s good news for everybody. I hope the reconfigurations help them get more cars at the big events that they have been trying to have. Right after the Cash Money one of Micheal Batten’s brothers went on Facebook and said hey guys, where were you and almost everybody said, we didn’t have a chance, so we stayed home. That wasn’t really my reason for not going because I never have a chance. My only goal is to outrun Dykes Maynard usually. But I get it.

I hope folks continue to post updates on what is going on at Fayetteville. I live over an hour away so I can't drop by to see what they have done. Last I heard they had moved the inside wall barriers.

Rocky, who do you help at Dixieland? I'm there every Friday helping Billy Hubbard.

Rocky
12-31-2019, 12:25 PM
I am Jake, that helps Rod Buzitzki with the 2 super street. And sometimes drives that ancient #97 that is in the way in late models in real life. The big guy not the Yinzer that’s always talking about Pennsylvania to everybody, that’s Chris. Sometimes you see me helping Dougie Lincoln with his sportsman also.

Oh cool! I love that place. It has one of the best atmospheres of anywhere we go.

Kinda O/T,but my wife and I and our Corgi drove by Dixieland on vacation. We vacationed in the Outer Banks again after almost ten years. We had to cancel the first time due to mother-in-law having health issues,and when we rescheduled Dorian hit. We had to stay inland an extra day,and then we went up to Virginia for a night because they wouldn't let people back in to the OBX. Went by and took a picture or two,and then spent the night in Portsmouth. Rode over to Va Beach to say we had been there and to kill some time. Wish we had stayed there for the night!

Happy New Year!

Fayetteville has a new Facebook page. It is Fayetteville Speedway Official. They post video of what is going on there. They have already bulldozed turns 3 & 4. It will be a 3/8 mile and I was told 20 to 25 degree banking. There will also be a outside wall all the way around now. Check them out on Facebook.

LakeView should be on the schedule....the distance from I-95, or Brinkleyville are not credible reasons.

Rocky

I don’t know how things are at Lakeview, but I know that there was only about 8 cars that ran every race at Brinkleyville last year. Mostly slow guys will stay home from an I-95 race, so I don’t know if it would actually help with car count. But it might draw the 7 good cars. Maybe. Except we’re getting where limited is starting to go the way of Super around here. Would one round of the challenge at Lakeview push it over the edge? No. But if we look back a few years this little series was started for the same reason Clash was.
