    Ralph Latham track conditions!

    Wow, the track was extremely dangerous and horrible for the fans! Ive been to some bad races and this was towards the top! It seems like almost every time I go to a Lucas oil series race, it usually isnt very good, lets hope saturday is different! Between the track conditions and the flagman they are lucky nobody got hurt there tonight. Its almost like Lucas oil series have no desire anymore to have a good track for heats. Besides that, to them its no big deal they give out provisionals. And speaking of that, everybody always want to talk about what is a crown jewel and what is not! Any race that gives out provisional to start is not a crown jewel. Provisionals for so called crown jewels is a joke!

    If they would've canceled, everybody would have whined they called it and could have ran. They ran and every body complains about it being rough. Yes, the track was awful, worst I've ever seen the place. And I've been going there for over 25 years now. They got absoultely dumped on around the noon-1pm time. With the how wet the ground was from the previous amount of rain we had already gotten, it was bound to be a mess. There was no way they could make every one happy on this deal. It was either cancel it and catch hell, or run it with the same result. So what should they do if this same thing happens tomorrow?

      Who cares if track was rough at least they raced do the so called pros bloomer,davenport, owens,richard,pierce need a smooth black track to beat up on the smaller teams a rough track makes them drive the car more actually see who has skill davenport broke hitting a rut that he knew was there for 21 previous laps but he tried pulling the caution out hoping the rain would come before halfway he litterly drives it to entrance of infield and stops he couldve drove in another 5 foot the keep race going liked seeing hudson erb satterlee get top 3s drivers that havnt finished that good for while

          First off the Cincy area has been HAMMERED with rain all summer... it rained Tuesday... and Florence can’t help that... if they had cancelled you would have been at the fore front complaining about the call... people like you are probably never happy... secondly about no crown jewel should give provisionals... well tonight wasn’t a crown jewel... and even the World 100 has provisionals (fast time provisionals) and I dare you to tell
          Me it isn’t a crown jewel....

              That doesn’t tell me much... Jason Jameson could do that on a smooth track

                  True enough. The track was pretty bad. At least as bad as I've seen it. They will work their butts off to make it much better for the weekend show.

                      If it's too rough there is always asphalt Larry Moore.

                        Track conditions are getting magnified by these collapse rf setups, car is already half turning over to begin with, promoters are now feeling the effects of these guys extreme setups, needing to produce a baby bottom smooth track for these guys. Not saying the track wasnt trash, but it is magnified by these guys digging their noses and bodies in the ground every corner...

                          It takes way more skill to drive in the slick than it does in the hammer down stuff.

                            Track was terrible racing wasnt much better quick to call it a night after the 2nd brief shower which was no more than the 1st shower but they were going to make sure they got half way so they could call it. Sure would hate to know i was destroying my car in a mess like that if i was racing Saturday for $50,000 Easy come easy go.
