2 of the crappiest 1 lane Dusty tracks in America. Who exactly are they rescuing?

You have to ocerlook poor ole FLYBOY! He is a NASCRAP fan who knows doodle squat about dirt late model racing! He just surfs the web looking for anything to post about.

Lancaster = one of fastest dirts tracks in nation with a well prepped track every night out. Carolina is a 3/8ths mile with good racing and friendly atmosphere. I’m thankful for more racing that weekend around Charlotte 👍

Personally, I have been to both, and both fit the "crappiest" bill. To be clear though, it was 15 years ago. Both were so bad I never made a second trip to either one, but I have heard others say both are much-improved. Regardless, it is good to see someone schedule races that weekend, and both will be well-attended.

Thankful for 2 more late model events around here.

I actually went to Carolina Speedway a few years ago twice in one trip... my first and last time there. That place was a total dump with no clue on how to run a program. It was a Carolina Clash race.. they wasted time all night, then before the feature wasted more time with various things and it was tad after midnight. At that point I left and headed home since my drive was 3 hours.

[Rajflyboy]

Carolina Clash usually runs late around here. I’d like to see this series run more like the outlaws or Lucas and demand to run earlier. They pay a good purse so I guess they agree to this in order to sell more track concessions. I make it a point not to buy anything at the track past 8pm. I don’t contribute to it.

[Barbecueboy]

Cool that the ultimate guys are doing the show, but I'm confused at how Gastonia nc is wide open for a race and the city of Charlotte/ concord nc is not???

They are a very short drive from each other......what's the backstory on that?

[dirtSLMracing]

BBQ.. very good question about Carolina having a race. That track is in North Carolina.

[Mason87]

I'm in concord right now for a soccer tournament, tons of people everywhere.

[EvelB7]

North Carolina has selective enforcement, the other piece is that the venue at Charlotte is a) high profile b) holds more than 10,000 people. CMS cannot risk the negative publicity nor the backlash that they would receive from the state government. Politically, CMS has to make sure the follow the governor's orders....

Bruton and son don’t want to upset the cookie cart at this point. Carolina has a huge sign out front that basically says we support the 1st amendment

And I thought he dreamed this sht up in his sleep.Instead of running you mouth we might as well meet at a go kart track and settle this thing on the track where it belongs 😜

[EvelB7]

Instead of running you mouth we might as well meet at a go kart track and settle this thing on the track where it belongs Well this ought to be good.... Bring it to GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, NC next week, fairly sure I could get you a discount just to watch! Maybe a whole 4m 'grudge match' event during the World Finals or Short Track Nationals?

[BEVANS]

Went to the WoO at Lancaster this year place is a dump with a dump outside the track. Bags of trash in the ditches and on side of the road. I was embarrassed being from SC seeing people from out of state parking on top of trash because of limited parking. The inside looks like they never cut grass or clean under the stand after a race. The bathrooms had spider web and beer cans in the toilet. Nothing beats going out to the parking lot and seeing Raccoon on top of car eating trash.

[Rajflyboy]

Actually I’d just team up with fox fire and we show these punk kids what some real racin is all about 😀😀😜

[EvelB7]

I may have a slight advantage, I'll drive the karts with one hand tied down to give the others a chance...

Great racing surface though

Let’s take those karts down to Carolina speedway and do it on dirt. Or maybe that kart dirt track down near Cherokee speedway. I think it’s called Patriot speedway.

The only thing I would team up with you on is a full fledge tackle football game- with the 2 of us on opposing sides!
FWIW- if your go cart driving is as bad as your post: you would be 4 laps down before the green flag was dropped!

[Dlmfan123]

speaking of karts. If your lucky enough to go to Charlotte stop by k1 and check it out I went the last 2 years it's awesome

[EvelB7]

Can't help on the k1, but I will see if I can't talk them into some discounts at GoPro Motorplex during the world finals. Owner is currently running UMP dirt modifieds I believe and the person who is in charge is a big dirt late model fan. It's only about 30 minutes from the Charlotte dirt track.

[Rajflyboy]

It’s not too far from the shop with the best trophy case I have seen. KBM Motorsports.

[Barbecueboy]

My money is on the 20 driving with one hand.......

[EvelB7]

Justin does, he has been racing one of Kenny Schrader's modifieds.

[Rajflyboy]

Does Schrader still have the shop near cottle creek?

[EvelB7]

[QUOTE=Rajflyboy;2364430]Does Schrader still have the shop near cottle creek?[/QUOTEI don't think he has a shop in NC anymore, David Ragan is in the shop and house between highway 3 and Odell school rd.

[QUOTE=Rajflyboy;2364430]Does Schrader still have the shop near cottle creek?[/QUOTEI don't think he has a shop in NC anymore, David Ragan is in the shop and house between highway 3 and Odell school rd.I see. That’s the one I was thinking of. Is David racing at all now?

[EvelB7]

Not sure, haven't spoken with him in quite awhile. Other people where running out of the shop last I knew.BBQ, let me know if you head to GoPro. Will meet you there and your races are on me.

[Rajflyboy]

I need to get up to go pro. I work through Friday night. May hit Carolina speedway Saturday f weather looks good.

[flagone]

I literally just talked to Kenny this past week and he was in NC cleaning out his shop. I can't remember if he said he had already sold it or was selling it.

[EvelB7]

I didn't know where he moved to after he left the shop Ragan bought, haven't been around him in a number of years.

[Rajflyboy]

Is he still married?

[Hotshoe8t]

Hope track prep at Carolina is better for that one. It was pretty choppy and dusty Friday night there

[Rajflyboy]

[Rajflyboy]

Anybody know what big names may stick around for these 2 events?

[flagone]

On Davenport's schedule. Overton will at least be at the Friday show.

[NeedforLMspeed]

If Davenport can't muster a top 5 at both Ultimate events then they have so serious issues heading into 2021.

[Rajflyboy]

If Davenport can't muster a top 5 at both Ultimate events then they have so serious issues heading into 2021.True. Overton is good at Lancaster. I’d love to see these 2 battle it out for the 5g prize.
