It was more of a redneck rally race, not like what you see in tv. Haha. I wish it was. It was the first time they did it and had 130-140 cars so up and it was a blast! Lost the heat race by a bumper after starting last. Broke a inner tie rod in the bmain after hitting a implement tire. They started like 40 cars in the main and it was chaos.

Some of the guys didn't take the air bags out. Some of the jumps were sharp so it created a rough landing. They were setting air bags off during the races. Man that was hilarious.

Race count was down in 2017 only 65 shows. North East was hit with a lot of rain in 2017. No new tracks in 17 but thats gonna change in 2018

Didnt do much this year compared to the last couple years. Started at Screven before going to Volusia for the last night of sprints and all the LM shows. Went to Potomac 3 or 4 times and thats it. Hope to get back on the road again next year

I would rate the racing in this area average/poor last year ....Other than a few big shows ... I was bored with the low car counts & didn't go alot ....

Because of my job this year and working a lot of Saturdays it was by far the lowest attended races for me since I can remember. Don't have a count but i'd say around 20 shows. I did finally make it to Charlotte for the first time so that made up for it seeing the big block mod guys for the first time was pretty cool as well.
