Is the Prairie Dirt Classic a Crown Jewel

[Krooser]

Yes.........

[dch191]

If you don’t consider the PDC a crown jewel, what would Have to happen for you to put it in that category?

[NormP]

No. There are 3 in dirt late model racing: Dream, World and DTWC.
And regardless of what LODLMS (or anyone else) wants you to believe, that is it.

I've decided that it is the World, Dream, and NS 100. And regardless of what WoO (or anyone else) wants you to believe, that is it.

I've also already commanded that next year the three crown jewels are the Blue Gray 100, the Bad Boy 98, and an as yet to be determined $5000 Summernationals event.


(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) this is fun. And so easy too!!

It's really hard to argue knoxville isn't a crown jewel. Look how many drivers have it listed as their favorite track, or favorite win, or MOST wanted win. Bloomer and Jimmy ownes to name a couple.

Ask the drivers to list their top races they would like to win. Add all of them up. Your top 5,6,8,10 races will probably be your crown jewels.

Silver Dollar Nationals hasnt been around long enough to be a crown jewel. If I was to pick a 9th one it would be the Hillbilly 100. But theres only 8 drivers really care to win.

Knoxville hasn’t been around all that long either.

Show Me was pretty cool back in the day. Now it is a hijacked name on a Lucas race that pays a little more. I don't see the big deal.

Actually when it was at West plain in 94-96, it paid 30k to winner and last place got 3k which Lucas pay that for 8th place. After 96 it went up 1k a year even the back mark too. The 2 years before Bloomquist won it in 08 “42k” it was paying 1st 40k, 16th-24th 4K vs Lucas 09 paying 1st 40k, 7th 4K, 24th 2k. Now under Lucas it’s 1st 30k, 1.2k for last. Before Lucas it payout all around much more.

Probably Knoxville, DREAM, DTWC and World 100 should be the majors.

And there are only two of those The World the DTWC.

Correct.............

[ptown]

My analysis is pretty simple. I have been a part of this stuff my whole life.

Crown Jewel = race I would enter and be proud to win if all I got was the trophy.

And there are only two of those The World the DTWC.
