    Yea, Because Eldora needs another 'special' race!

    If Oakshade is really that bad why not just not go? There are millions of other things you can do on a July Saturday night than pay money to go to a place you are just going to complain about online the next day!

    Be happy you have a racetrack where cars show up at.

    Default Oakshade

    CLAY CLAY CLAY the track hasnt replaced it for 8 years to me knowledge it you want to keep a little moisture in the track there needs to be something there can absorb and hold pouring gallons of water on dirt and sand does nothing it's a shame where this track was 6 7 or 8 years ago hopefully they wise up get some good clay mix it in have Dane Miller show them track prep

    this is 100% true. this is why car counts are half of what they use to be just 15-20 years ago. why a lot of tracks have dropped late models . how often do we read about another track closing?

    I know what you mean. I always wished for rain on Saturday morning when going to Brownstown. Trouble with that is, they cancel pretty easy when some rain does happen.

    And you'd think after how good the Jackson was last year they'd keep trying to replicate that by disking the track and watering the crap out of it!

    The had a rain out saturday and knew they had better water it well for the day race. And it was the best it had been all season.

    I don't believe they even keep a disc on the grounds.

    From what I heard, the gentleman that owns the track is 72 years old and wants out. He is putting it up for sale at the end of the year... Whoever buys it will have to dump a ton of money in the junk hole.
