Banking is not the problem, The track had the same banking in the Shamrock 50 from 2009 and that was one of the best races of all times. But this year and last year was a suckfest. I think it was the fact that they practice the night before. Heck look at Boyd' Cabin fever race this year. They did the same thing and it was black and rubberd up before the first race. Tracks need to stop running on the track the day before a race, It screws it up every time.
worse race I ever saw at Cleveland Speedway.

Totally Agree! I prefer a one night show anytime the racing is so much better,don't care about the car count just like to watch the racin/show and when I mean show all classes!But if the car count is high and a fast track all night would luv it to.Originally posted by 99plummer View PostBanking is not the problem, The track had the same banking in the Shamrock 50 from 2009 and that was one of the best races of all times.

I pretty much attend all of Cleveland's big money races and most of the time the track provides great racing. I have attended and the track would have some pretty tough dips but again some of the best racing can be found at Cleveland. I don't buy the banking comments. I don't claim to know how to prep a track and it must be difficult but high 14's at Cleveland is laughable. There must have been 3000 people in attendance to witness this aweful display. I know the promoter at Cleveland has been doing this for years. Is track prep so difficult that you can't figure certain conditions to produce certain surfaces. Some said that the track was dry from the get go. Why?

Like I said earlier, they practiced the night before and it was windy all day Saturday. Those two combinations alone will make for a dry, slick, hard track. I have never seen a good racetrack when it's been windy all day.

Anytime a Track races or practice the night before the big race, and the track if not totally reworked you want see much of a race. Seen the same thing happen at another track this spring. I know why they do the two night thing, but it is not good for the second night of racing.

I agree 100%. The track should have been reworked on Sat. morning.Originally posted by castone View PostAnytime a Track races or practice the night before the big race, and the track if not totally reworked you want see much of a race.

A tracl must be reworked and by that I mean a real reworking not just grading loose dirt back down onto the track, water the surface a little and sheep footing it to death.
Of course some tracks do that way when it's a one night race also, and it makes for a poor show at most places that do that.Last edited by Clayton_Wetter; 03-20-2011, 08:31 PM.
