    That is their chosen powerplant for 2017.

      Is it what they want or did it fit the budget better? Barry & Clements are synonymous in my area, literally only like 2 doors apart from each other... Hatfield I haven't seen in these parts since Marshall Green ran them(after winning the DTWC with Custom).

        That standing up thing can be a problem. About 5 years ago, I seen standers in front of handicapped people, who struggled to get a better seat, higher. When asked to sit, they said FU. I and the people around us, where never more ashamed of a race fans.

        Even with out any handicapped, you paid good money along with everyone else around you to have a seat where you could see the race and as something exciting is happening, you decide to take that good view from everyone behind you. How about the kids, that just don't stand as tall to see? By the time they get stood up on the seat, it's over and you have taken the best part of the race from them. It's just consideration of others.

            just came from a Moyer thread and he's getting blasted for cherry picking... guess Superman can do it just like Moyer is... I really don't believe in CP because of what it costs to race and I feel like they can go where they want to... Bobby gets it all the time when he stays home and races around here and I don't get that either but it's an opinion website right..

                Only problem is i hate looking at backs of peoples heads cuz they wont sit down while watching the race. Very inconsiderate and rude.

                Weather is 40% showerz as of tuesday. I hope that changez
                Agreed. Ive only been once for a Clash race 2 years ago, enjoyed it aside from what you said. Did get tired of seeing half the field (support classes) stop at an official every caution to have em check n pull sheet metal away.
                Also the 1 woman with the powerful vocal chords that we could hear over the announcer and the racing all night. But i definitely plan on going back whenever im back in the area

                  That sounds like lancaster super speedway. Im in no way bashing the track as i go there for every super race. Its just stupid things that happen there.

                    It's a matter of courtesy and respect..........and they have none. Of course, it is 2017 and that seems to be the norm at the track and everywhere else.

                      Guys, JD was seriously considering going north to the Lucas races. In the end, they felt the odds were high for a ppd. They ended up being correct. Davenport and BW are working with a brand new car (ground on up) and need to get it out as much as possible to race. I think it does the team better to find 5 to 10K races closer to home early in the season, in order to get ready for the bigger races in late spring into the summer months. I don't think that should be considered "CP". Just my opinion.

                          In today's age of racing there really is no such thing as cherry picking anymore. Even if they are doing it, until you foot the bills you can't say a word about it.

Im not saying to not stand up here and there but if everybody sat down everybody could see! Most of the time its the BOFRNG doing it. Sorry thats just how i feel about this continueing problem there.
                              Sounds like they need to tear the grandstands down since they don't use them!!! hahahahahahahaaa

                                No its some 'Joe weekend warrior' that thinks he has a chance to win $2k at his local track cause the big boys are an hour away racing for 10-20k. But Moyer shows up and runs away with it. Thats cherry picking
