    Your third post on here contradicts your thread title and first post. Why the total turn around. Did you not mean it when you said:

      So just who needs to be taken seriously and who does not? Now go wash that brown nose.
      You could count on one hand the number of tracks I've ever said anything negative about in my 20 years on 4m. I talk positive about Florence because it's one of the top venues in the sport. Most people realize that.

          Clayton, my first post was about prepping the top of the track. My next post was about the track being better dry and slick. Evidently hooked on phonics didn't work for you!

              I can say last year was great at the North/South. It was my first time ever at Florence and I'm going back again this year for the North/South. Can't wait!!

                So which one is it? Should we all get their at least once in our lives or should we punt and go elsewhere??
                They will get it right for the N/S, they have the last few years. The last stinker N/S I remember was 2011 when Owens won train race. Everyone was all worried about there being too many laps put on the track with the double heat format, I think it's been perfect.

                  Last year's N/S was one of the all-time great track prep performances. 3-wide racing for 3 straight nights doesn't happen too often. Anybody with common sense (which isn't too many people on 4m) knows that no tracks put as much effort into track prep for regular shows as big shows. The passing point heats force them to prep the hell out of the track. The N/S will be fine. Hopefully it rains again Saturday afternoon again like it did last year.

                    Yes, the Florence track will be fine for the N/S weekend. If bloomy starts up front he usually dominates the race than gets beat later in the event. Not the track's fault. Racing around the track is usually pretty good. Yes I am bias for Florence, but it is the best track I have been to with Eldora being a close second

                      Have you been to Fairbury? I'd rank Fairbury 1 and Florence 2. Both are different tracks, though. One is a 1/4 mile bullring and the other is 1/2 mile.

                        I'm guessing your guy didn't win so you blame it on track prep...

                            I have only seen Fairbury on DOD. Looked like good racing.

                              There is a whole lot better racing out there than Florence Speedway. It can be great, but it is far from certain. FALS is on another level entirely.

                                No doubt Fairbury is the best. However, I really was impressed with my North South trip to Florence last year. So, I'm basing it off one experience. Hoping for the same this year when I go back.
