I’m just watching the re run on this Bristol cup dirt race. This is how you groom a racetrack. Dirt tracks should have a proper cushion and this one did. It had multiple grooves as well. Well done by the crew who did this 👍👍👍

You don't make over 3,000 posts in a year if you know what things are.

Well the track was terrible they were trying to water it between stages just to keep the dust down that said your not going to have a track running 40 cars 250 laps.

Terrible grooming job. The best-groomed track was the wet one the trucks only made a lap and a half on. With real dirt cars, there would have been some awesome racing.

Track was crap. There was no cushion. They were backed into a corner though. Get NASCAR for these dirt races to get rid of the dam windshields and yes I’m going to say it, I think the racing would be bad a$$. That truck race woulda been great. But with windshields they can’t race on a good dirt track, it’s truly a death sentence, accident waiting to happen.

I watched the fiasco from Saturday, holy cow was that bad. Get rid of the windshields and they would be great.

Hey fly....the blue ridge guys are racing at lakeview tonight, I went to the lakeview page and they have some footage of them working the track....check it.

Under normal circumstances I would make the drive over and watch, but I'm gonna catch it from the recliner on speed 51.

Asphalt cars should race on Asphalt and dirt cars should race on dirt. I don't understand why anybody would think it is a good idea to run Nascars on dirt. If you ran Dirt late models on an Asphalt track wouldn't this be the same situation. Dosen't make sense.

They need to just go to eldora and race it .....and take the windshields out.

Or put dirt on bowman gray and make them race pure stocks.

That's what i'm saying. Nascar can run dirt races that's fine. But why are u running Asphalt cars on dirt? The nascar drivers should be in dirt cars, Late models, pure stocks, or Fwd hornets. lol........would be better. Run a sanctioned nascar race in pure stocks.

I dunno. Street stocks weighing 3,000 lbs put on a pretty good show last week. Most were stock gm metrics chassis's!

Cup cars have a 60's based Ford frontend and 70's Chevy rear truck arm susp.

Just bang right rear off wall for traction. Not a fan. 250 laps on dirt. It’s gonna be a dry mess. Hard to stop that without 1.5 hour track grooming sessions every 75 laps.

I believe BB mods as well. Just can’t have a dam windshield.

Big block mods on asphalt were pretty cool. Quickly turned into asphalt specific (dirt) cars though.

s the guy no one has met and never even attends races... yet acts like such a hard@$$... blackford you’ve always been the biggest joke on 4m.

Just like Flyboy, how can you reference things like the Chili Bowl if you’ve never been? I promise you’ve never attended, and Flyboy most certainly hasn’t attended a race outside of NC/SC...

If Gerald Newton would quit robbing drivers of Money while feeding his gambling addiction, maybe he could actually turn 4m into what it used to be... a place for fans to gather and talk racing... before faceless clowns like you and others ruined it.

You are such an ignorant, uneducated, waste of oxygen that you immediately start taking pot shots at people. But the only problem is.. you are such a POS, that you only live in shadows. Some of us are real people. Sure we all have our faults, but I go to the World 100... I go to Knoxville... I go to I-80.... you don’t go to anything because you are afraid. You are nothing more than a frightened little pu$$y

I’m not talking $hit... I’m being truthful. Flyboy has 3k posts in less than a year, and he talks about things he has no clue about. You are some kind of 4m bully that won’t ever show his face. You have roughly 14 names on here, and you just talk to yourself back and forth... about nothing!

Anytime.... anywhere... you come out of the shadows, and prove who you are. But you won’t because you are just too afraid. I’ve met multiple people from 4m and I still talk to quite a few, but Atleast I don’t hide behind numerous screen names like you. So end the BS, and shine that light on you. Prove me and countless others wrong

I have a new idea for you guys. Quit talking sh*t on one another or for that matter on someone. Go look in the mirror and see if your nips are firming up. If they are, your hopeless. Why can't people just get along with each other.

Couple tracks in our area covered asphalt with dirt over the years, took a long time to get it right and one never did Given a first time effort, the sheer number of cars, and some weather challenges over the course of several days thought it turned out ok, I’d give them a B+.

We know what it is and why it is there. I see no reason to prep a track for a cushion that’s 2 feet from the wall. I know during the race it may end up there but I don’t like tracks that prep it that way
