Mansfield Raceway

Thanks for bringing the dirt back! One of the best facilities out there! We can't wait to go back!

My opinion is that it is only a matter of time before the DTWC will be held at this facility...

I hope you're right, the DTWC has overstayed its welcome at PRP and the facilities and racing would be much better at Mansfield.

The track appears to be about a full half mile in size.

Looks like seating for about 4500 max. unless they have built some new stands.

Said 4/10's. Racing looked good. Seating?

The main grandstand seats 7500.

The main grandstand seats 7500.

Did they build some new ones? The main stands on the front stretch are about 500 feet long on Google Earth.

People bitch€d for years, wanting this race to find a home and it stay there, now it's found a home, you want it to move again. Do I think prp is the best place for it racing wise? No. I don't want to see this race get back on this track carousel again. The racing sucked for years at Pennsboro and nobody complained. The last two at prp have been decent.

People seem to forget it was at Lawrenceburg for one year, which is basically offers the same facilities that Mansfield has to offer. That lasted a year and it was on the moved again. It's not about the facilities either.

The DTWC is not going to move anytime soon.

I was glad to see this race was a success though.

I'm all for the DTWC moving around. The only reason Lawrenceburg didn't get another shot was because of the geographical location. IMO the DTWC should only stay in one place for 3 years maximum, then move it.

How to you figure Mansfield is a better location than lawrenceburg.

Lived in Mansfield when the new grandstands were built. It was always claimed that they held 7500. Also that is what the website claims.

I think Oakshade would be a great track for the DTWC, 2 and 3 wide racing all the way around the track! Florence is also a fantastic track, 2 crown jewels at Florence is not a bad thing!

[JustAddDirt]

I would love to see it moved from the current PRP. most of the time that track is a bottom feeder, blow all the river silt up on the racing surface one drove dustbowl. unless mother nature waters the $hit out of it.
no banking. flat up next to the wall. cannot even use the whole track.

only thing I see it has going for it is the camping space. other than that nothing
But what do I know

Oakshade would certainly help fans relive the experience of Pennsboro.

Oakshade would be a great racetrack. However the facilities could not support the crowd that shows up for this race...
