I hope nobody goes and supports this race. We have plenty of tracks that have been going strong for years and to pull revenue from those tracks is disgraceful. Stop with the BS and invest in the tracks that support dirt late models year after year.
Nathan,
As far as the dirt racing side of things --- it kind’a reminds me of putting dirt on down on the old Mansfield track. Guess we’ll all see if it works with this track.

Yeah but North Wilkesboro is much bigger than Mansfield. If I remember correctly NASCAR had it measured at just over .6 tenths mile. The way that track is it makes me think a dirt car would race it like you raced an old dirt car back in the 80's more strait in the corners (like Pennsboro) like a pavement car and not so sideway like a current dirt car.
I am intrigue by the Sprint Cars and Big Block Modifieds races. That is a large track and while it doesn't have the banking Bristol does the straits are longer and the corners are more reounded so I think the sprint cars would carry a bunch of speed off the corners. I would hate to see one wreck there.
Now the Big Block Modifieds are used to racing on bigger tracks and think that would be a decent show to watch.
Guess will all see how it turns out.
About the same size and like putting dirt on Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy. WOW, that’s big ol‘ track. Bet the Big Block Modifieds put on the show.Quote:

The $18,000,000 they got from the North Carolina government was for infrastructure projects near the track (Roads, Sewers, ect...) SMI (Speedway Motorsports Inc.) has to pay for the track renovations.
Thats how I read it.
Gonna be a $H!T$H0W
Your right. Idk why some people are red azzed over this deal. Be glad there's a old track being brought back to life. I'll go and if it sucks I'll give them a second chance after that I'm out.Quote:
