    Wouldn’t be the DTWC without it being cold and damp.

    The rain might end by 4:00 or 5:00 Friday. So racing might be possible tomorrow night. Unless it is determined the track might be too fast.

    Can they still have a huge crowd, is the question.

    Racing tonight Thursday is postponed.

    You would probably be the first one complaining about it being 1 lane follow the leader too

    That could happen, but I highly doubt it. That's what you already have. Let's try having a track that they can run anywhere on, not a one lane skating rink.

    Anyway may it be a great weekend for all. This is a great place for the fans and drivers, kind of the ultimate place that everyone looks forward to every year.

    I like a multi-lane skating rink.

    It's not what it's made out to be. It can be ok.

    Mainly too rutted up to race. Hard to pack mush. Bet it won't be much better tomorrow. Sometimes takes days to get the water to leech out. Gonna be too cold tomorrow to gain much. But maybe they can scrape off top foot or so like they did couple years ago? LOL!

    It just doesn't sound right to call the track too fast. I wouldn't want to be the one saying that.

    You want suspensions that work on any track, I thought you said.

    These don't, the drivers and crews want that track to suit their radical setups don't act too well when then get too much bite, and they rear up so bad, it's no wonder they flip and dig in on a cushion that isn't rolled in after each race. You got a nose piece that's might be okay on blacktop but digging in on a track that isn't smooth as blacktop and just as hard.

    And just where do they skate all over the track? Eldora sometimes but where else.

    I don't like racing like they had at Bluegrass where the leader can't even pass the tail car.

    Florence, sometimes Eldora, Skyline, plenty more where you skate all over.

    I'm not sure what else you expected? Can you imagine how boring and uneventful it would be if it were the Lucas oil off-road trucks on it? Could you imagine the 1986 world 100 being postponed on the same track conditions? Tracks didn't just start getting fast and rough in the last 10 years.
