    Sometime last year the new owner fired Darrell Courson, who had been doing a good job with the track prep for the past couple of years. We thought at the time it wasn't a smart thing for them to do.

    Have you noticed though, there is a 12 feet flat area at the bottom of each turn? Don't know if it would help, but they should make it part of the racing surface by adding a little banking to this area.

    Note...check out tmacs and sheppards dod interview from fri nite. They both said the turn entries are too tight from the infield being pushed out too far.

    I saw all of that. Sometimes a flat bottom works for evening it with the longer way around. I think they may just need more room. But, forcing them to run 1300 isn't helping the track any.

    To each, his own, I do not subscribe to the " any race is better than work" opinion.

    Many of us have better things to do than sit through a sh!T show of a"race".

    Problem is not these tracks. It's the cars!!!! They are so aero sensitive they just follow the leader, hardly no passing. When you get 20 or so cars running the same line, lap after lap, it's gonna rubber up. Once that happens it's over.
    Until these sanctions get together and enforce some rule changes there are gonna be more train races. I for one hate these late model bodies in today's racing!

    GIS was on my watch list from 2 years ago. Last year wasn't bad but this year puts it back on my watch list.The track has to have 2 good shows with passing before I consider going there. Even then I am skeptical. If you don't know a stinker, when you see one. too bad. The only guys that got passed where the guys that got stuck on the high side. As one driver said," I tried the high line and thought I was going to 95th spot. Sorry to who ever I cut off getting back to the rubber, but I was in a hurry".

    I probably attend more races in the first two months of the year than you do all year. You look real smart yourself, with your junior high texting lingo....seems like you need to get off the tit and learn a few things.

    No it wasnt a great show. But I'm not sitting behind a computer screen bashing it either, I got out and supported the race. It's not the first sh!t show ive supported and it won't be the last. I know what I do for living is not fun, and being at th races is by far better than there.

    I'm just glad U pay atension a round here. We woodnt no wat 2 with out ur in put.....thanks.

    It's obvious around here to most that I actually go to the races, and can actually discuss with people without trying to argue, unlike your 13 year old brain.

    Just for the record....I was born with the last name Young. Its easy to tell I'm far more grown up than you'll ever be, at least I can spell right for the most part. I won't get you stirred up anymore.

    Have fun with your stick and balls!

    Dirt fans love to criticize asphalt tracks, but asphalt tracks don't have this problem. Asphalt tracks keep their 2 or 3 grooves all the time no matter how many laps are run them.

    Dirt racing is so hit and miss from being good to bad, its hard to go spend money to take the chance of seeing that. Added to that the horrible formats and short races. Asphalt tracks have the same (bad) format, but then they run super long races which results in lead changes and passing.......

    No. Just no. Asphalt tracks undergo changes with accumulated rubber. Badly designed asphalt tracks that are one lane stay one lane. Seen plenty of them.

    The problem I have with the second night is that they took about 4-6 laps running in the bottom of the track before the race (on a track that locked down on the bottom the night before) Also Lucas needs to make a rule about how many support classes you can have and no support class should have trials.

    Only been to a 1/2 dozen paved races (NOT NASCAR) in my life and every time they were glued to the bottom. It was always the fastest way around.
