    They are fixing to go to tazwell and run in a couple of weeks I'm going it has new clay on it so I guess I need to call ahead and see if it is going to be a points race it is lighting quick track record I think is 10.7 they almost broke the limited track record on opening night it is 11.3 they don't like running there because it is so fast.

      Why was the track so bad? I want to go to that race.

        If I recall they had a bunch of rain the week leading up to the race. I think 6 cars finished. One of Bloomers wheels broke off while he was leading the race.

          Even when the inmates are the show, they can't run the asylum.

            This track should never be on the schedule again
            I have seen that happen on a smooth track.

              I have too. As hard as these cars are on the right side anymore and as soft as the springs are, it's a lot more common than it used to be.

                  They did give everyone 100 points however.

                    Which basically means no points. If everyone got the same, that means zero effect on the points championship outcome (except for somebody like Davenport that wasn't going to chase the series anyway)

                      Yes I know. I was just stating the fact that Lucas did award 100 points to everyone

                        I agree with the decision. If it were my gear, I would've loaded up and left. That place was a JOKE! 100% behind the drivers and owners on this one!

                          We got an absolute BOATLOAD of rain Thursday and add in the fact they laid down the new surface AFTER winter. It was a lose-lose situation. On the flip side, I have never seen as many people there as I did Friday night. And for that JOKE of a race, I did not see many happy people either.

                            Putting it down after winter is the biggest mistake. I'm no track owner, promoter or whatever but even I know that.

                              I know a track that put new clay down three days before a big race, and it held together. Time doesn't matter if you know what you're doing.

                                Apparently even with Port Royals help they didn't​.
