Mansfield Track Conditions

[OhioRaceFan]

I am not posting this to bash the track but just to make everyone aware. Mansfield has a problem with rocks. I am going to assume they added dirt this spring but never screened it. At the Lucas oil race I was hit in the chest and a fan in front of me was hit in the upper lip to the point he was bleeding pretty good. You could hear the rocks pinging off the seats. One rock was considerably bigger than a golf ball and landed in the aisle way. I know someone in our group did bring this to attention of the track via email. People told me this was also a problem at the Sprint Car World championship. I have not bought tickets to the dirt million yet and am considering not going.

There were rocks at the sprint car world championship as big as golf balls lying all over bleachers going into turn1.

I don’t blame you one bit. And glad you brought it up. Expo Speedway, mid 90’s, seen a teenage boy get nailed in the chest by a fist size rock from a sprint.

They make machines to get the rocks out. Personally, the little bit of video I’ve seen, the dirt looks like dirt, not clay.

[OhioRaceFan]

We sat almost to turn 1 just past the over hang. I said the same thing today about it being dirt not clay.

[Illtsate32]

CnB in Ill we call it bluff dirt..really light in color, very powdery and fine...

[Hollis]

And on another note they should have street sweeper for pit road. That was uncalled for.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Lets wait til someone gets seriously hurt to do something. You would think after seeing the rocks in the stands after the shows over that they would address this issue.

The track prep at Sharon was just as lazy as Mansfield's tonight. Must be an Ohio thing. Nobody takes pride in their racing surfaces anymore.

Don't be putting Ohio down! We got places like Moler that make sure you gotta run the guts out of your car to watch a widebore stomp your azz for $1500.

Heaven forbid a faster car outrun a slower one.

Let's go to a track where they all spin their wheels and handicap the fast cars.

Thank you Moler Speedway for preparing a good race track.

And it winds up usually not being very heavy at all.

Slower under one set of conditions. You never had the pleasure of attempting to field a slm. You just have splinters in your azz. A weekly show is no Lucas Oil or Woo. You need 20 working men to bring a car to the track.

You mean handicap those who can't make their car work? But can overspend? Got ya.

The track prep may have been crappy. But id much rather get to see what I paid for, instead of getting rained on and having to drive back in a few months for a makeup show.

Been there many times. They're an exception though, they prep the track properly like an Illinois track.

[wfofan]

From DOD PPV I watched, now throw rocks into the mix, they need to move the DirtMill to another track... I wouldn't go to that track if admission was free...

Attica is fantastic and so is Oakshade.

Actually I don't have splinters. And with your attitude the grandstands could wind up empty. Where in the rules does it say, everybody has to be equal?

It doesn't. Variety is the spice of life. Hammer down one lane on the top gets old. Sometimes the smart guys should get their turn too. Doesn't always have to be the wallets.

And slm are dead regardless of my attitude.
