Anyone have a video of the restart with the Schlenk flip?

DirtonDirt does

Great facility there, I hope it works out but they have to shorten the track or do something to make the place more racier.

I agree with what most of you are saying. My biggest pet peeve in attending races is not starting anywhere near advertised start times. I have tracks/series that I wont even ask anybody to go with me to because of the way I know it will be run. When I see a man, wife, and kids leaving a track that they just spent good money to attend leaving the track after 10:30 and haven't seen one feature yet, do you think he will be coming back? People have choices for entertainment and don't have to tolerate that kind of promotion.

Perfect example. End of April there was a race with a scheduled start time of 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I had a family function that afternoon. I knew I would be late but figured I'd see most of races. Cut out of function early, drove an hour and a half to arrive at 5:30 to find they were still hotlapping. First race didn't start until after 6:30. Racing ended after 10:30 so I wasn't home until after midnight on what was now Monday morning. That 2 hours of time would have greatly improved my Monday morning. And of course, no mention ever by the track or sanctioning series on why they were 2 hours behind. Just business as usual.

There are people that put on races then there are promoters. I have never been a fan of the person that put the show on at Joliet. She does no wrong, just ask her.

She does not care if you don't come back because her daddy has money to bail her out and her Demo Derbies will pay for the next late model race she can say she put on as she posts another selfie on Facebook

Let's not get carried away here. The family that promotes the races at Rte. 66 does a WHOLE lot for dirt track racing. Are they perfect, absolutely not!

I am sure if you were to send an email, or better yet talk to the Promoter in person about your issue(s), they would be addressed. At least give it a shot

I'm somewhat surprised he showed up tonight TBH. He's pitted next to Thirlby.

Thirlby has Billy's old hauler, IIRC. I've seen them parked together a few other times.

They tried fix the track it was real bad. Made it better, BUT its still a long way from being a good track to race on needs LOTs of work. Turns are set up all wrong for Dirt. And you cant run a dirt track like a NASCAR track people are not the same. they hard working people not rich people looking for a place to blow there cash.
