Thumbs up Gateway, Thumbs down Shelton & Jarrett

[Necrosis]

It's the announcers job to announce, and they did a great job! Now, if they had someone actually matching levels, that'd be even better yet, but I'm not complaining!

Sorry Ben you were screaming in the mic, Dustin was not, it had nothing to do with an open air booth. I suppose you were trying to add some level of excitement that really wasn't needed. I did turn the volume down but then had to turn it back up to hear what was being said, kind of like when a loud commercial comes on. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

The racing at Gateway was a huge success, but what's up with Shelton and Jarrett playing @ss grab with each other all night? This was the biggest stage ever for Dirt Late Models & Modifieds and these two acted like little school girls all weekend..... making fun of everyone from competitors, fans and fellow broadcasters???

Thumbs up---You're @$$ all weekend is my guess. Trying to tickle your brain?

[Ben Shelton]

It's ok ptown we can still be friends even if we don't agree.

Have a good one.

The racing at Gateway was a huge success

It looked "okay" on video, but not what I would call great or huge, just slightly better than I expected.

This was the biggest stage ever for Dirt Late Models & Modifieds and these two acted like little school girls all weekend.....

This in my view wasn't the biggest stage ever, I think Bristol in 00' and 01' with UDTRA was far better, that and they've run DLM's indoors before, in the Pontiac Silverdome. This was a novel redux with the addition of the mods, but in all honesty the DLM's are too large to race at their best hemmed up like that. It works for midgets because they are so small, but I don't see this becoming the DLM Chilibowl. In the end thats the best thing I can say about it, "Eh, it was novel."

a novel that will continue they say we shall see and guess what stede you are clueless they run on a couple tracks about that size for over 60 years Macon and Belleclaire Lucas runs at Macon with summer nats and Belleclare has ran woolms and summer nats along with weekly show

Instead of showing your true IQ, why not just pick up the phone and call these guys and talk to them about it. I guess it was too easy for you to get on here and feed us your stupidity instead of going to the source. I am sure both of these guys would love to hear your suggestions. We all make mistakes and can always take suggestions on how to do it better. I feel sorry for those of you that have wanted this race to fail from the very start. I really do. It must eating you up inside knowing that it was a success and looks like will be around for years to come.
Keep up the great work Ben. Don't change a thing. You guys are doing a great job.

At a venue like that, it's a fine line to walk between professionalism and entertainment. I thought we walked that line pretty well, but I'm always open to constructive criticism.

I've been doing this long enough to know you'll never please everyone.

I thought they both did a great job. One of the toughest things to do anymore is to keep people's attention especially under the age of 25. Everyone that I saw in between breaks in the racing looked enthralled and wrapped up in the event. Great job Ben and Dustin.

Excellent Job Ben!

I thought for a small company, the production was pretty good. They do have sound issues. Bens mike was pretty hot, and others you could barely hear. Not a crisis, but thats a point they need to work on.
After Thursdays trainwreck, I thought it was going to be a total joke, but they really pulled it out of the jaws of disaster Friday. It took way too long to run the show, but for a first year, they get a total pass on that. It will have to improve to grow the crowd though. Im sure it will improve. The track Saturday was rough as a cob. For those on here that dont actually race, you have no idea how many cars broke expensive parts underneath trying to run Saturday. Cars coming completely off all four wheels is not what you want, but ive been to long standing tracks and seen that happen once in awhile. Hopefully they improve that. All in all....id say B- as a total grade. Could have been way worse, could have been better, and im sure it will get better.
