Wow only 22. Just few hours southeast of there at Adams County (Quincy, IL) for the $7,000 to win MARS race they have 24 cars.

Watching on MavTV Plus. Hope it's a good feature.

Hope all this track prep really helps! At least we have other options to watch during the delay!

[lumpster]

And, northwest of there, in Stuart Iowa, there are 29 late models, for a 3k to win, MBSLM show that will more than likely be the best program of the evening!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

They brought out the stock cars and wrecked three or four just hotlapping. This is flirting with dumpster fire territory.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

10 minute horn just sounded.

Congratulations to McCreadie. Not a very exciting race, to say the least. Top movers improved what, 3 laps?

[BirkyTime15B]

That was a tough race to stomach. Nearly 2 hours of prep work for about 36 minutes of racing. Totally get the weather situation. But wow, that sucked. I paid, so I get to complain. I'll be back for Outlaws, Slocum, and Castrol races. Hopefully they get it figured out. That was GARBAGE.

[EvelB7]

Friend of mine said he went and left when they started farming the track; told me he took a shower when he got home, started the grill and didn't miss a lap of the feature. I asked how it felt to not only pay for the pit pass but the pay per view as well, believe the comment was something I cannot repeat.... said he will probably not be back to 34 in the near future... I always considered it my favorite track (although the last time I was there Sarah Fisher was racing a midget), hate to hear it is not what it used to be.

I had thought about going there, but I am elated that I chose Quincy instead. The MARS race at Quincy was awesome.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Every track has a dud once in a while. Even massive duds like this one. 34 is usually better than this, and I won't let this occurrence stop me from going back.

What I have noticed over the last few years, is that track is racier for sprint cars than late models.
