I'm surprised to see Hoffman in Babb's Bloomquist. They're really sprucing the place up. Looks nice with the half-mile fence painted up. Should be some good racing tonight!

Sorry that my posts were disjointed.
The board is really slow to refresh for me tonight.

[intel8]

Great race! Really impressed of what the Kay's have done with the track prep in Davenport.

[TheJet-09]

What a race! We're really being spoiled as of late. Some great racing this year, and we're only about half done.

[zyoung25]

That was a d@mn good race. No monster sliders thrown, everybody goes home happy.

[Dirt Clod]

Awesome battle between top 4. Looked like a Brownstown win for Hud! Even Brandon was excited finishing 2nd. Thanks for the updates Shiny. You had to be going crazy watching and typing.

[B_K]

That place is #1 on my wish list to visit sometime. Heck of a race.

[Morgs153]

That was one fun race to watch. Davenport quarter mile does not disappoint. What a nice, wide, well prepped track to put on such a good show (IMCA LMs too).

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Awesome Race is all I can say!

[over4T]

As everyone ese has said that was a great race at a great track. No sliders or any questionable moves. Good track prep and a nice facility.

Most of the Iowa tracks are quite good and the fans there love their racing. It's been one of my favorite states to go to for a racing vacation for many years.

Good to see Spencer Hughes get a top 5 and he's inching towards a win and hope it happens for him this season.

[dirtcrazy4u]

WOW. If you didn't like that race I don't know why. It only shows these big 1/2 mile tracks need to rethink there track layouts. Over the years I have seen some really good racing on short tracks. Boy that was a good one.

[klemmabyna]

You never need to apologize. Thanks Shiny. you're the best.

There are big tracks that race well. Port Royal is the perfect example.

[KTMLew]

Internet went down during first B-Main so I went to bed. Great thing about retirement is realizing nothin really matters. Just relax and take the day as it comes. Sounds like missed a good one but can watch the replay.

[Highside Hustler25]

Great race. This place is gonna give FALS a run for their money as far as the best track in the midwest. Seeing Gary Webb was really cool. He's probably the last one left racing from when I first started going to the races. And He's still competitive.

[GEAR_HEAD]

It's a shame Dirtcar can't run all of their shows like that. 2 divisions, great track prep, and very little screwing around. Their support division feature went nonstop and Kay put on a show. Everybody needs to watch that program and take notes on how it's done.

[BirkyTime15B]

First class facility. Kay family has this place (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) near perfected. Can’t wait for the MARS Races 7/26. All of the top 5 said to me personally they’ll be back for it.

[TerryM]

That place is #1 on my wish list to visit sometime. Heck of a race.
It’s near the top for me too. Iowa has the best dirt racing.

FALS isn’t the best. It’s just the most hyped — by the heavily influenced home crowd (DOD/FLO). It’s on my bucket list, but I’ve read too many horror stories about the facilities. At this point, I prefer watching FALS on TV.

[Highside Hustler25]

Ok Terry, what track do you think is the best?
And keep in mind, Florence Kentucky is not in the midwest.😁

[Pennsboro32]

There was nothing wrong with the FALS facilities when I went 2 years ago. Top notch atmosphere, great racing and solid facilities. I've seen much worse.

Plus they keep making improvements every year.

[Dirt Clod]

TerryM:

So you READ about FALS horror stories, but you've never actually been to FALS. On your bucket list? What are these horror stories that that you are referring to? Isn't it hard to make judgement if you've never been there?

[Highside Hustler25]

TerryM:

So you READ about FALS horror stories, but you've never actually been to FALS.

Well that pretty much sums up this story.🙄

[TerryM]

First of all, I said STATE, not track. As for tracks, FALS is on my bucket list. Facility-wise, I’ve read many times about how bad the parking and seating is at FALS. Were those people lying? I wouldn’t know.

[Highside Hustler25]

Ok, y'all read post #71 and find the word STATE. 5 minute time limit.

ready...go😂

[TerryM]

It was #70.

[PushinDad]

Actually, Davenport was a three class program with 24 IMCA sport mods, but still a quick, efficient program! There is a local curfew.
