    What is supposed to be so great about the HILLBILLY 100 this weekend?

    I realize it is paying $50,000 to win but I heard the track facilities are horrible and it is so dusty there, you can't see. I know it is the richest one day payday in Dirt Late Model but the seating, from what I hear is terrible.I am off Sunday and could make the drive. I need someone to convince me how it is such a great race... Thank you!

    It is a very racy track. That is all you need. The fact it is a elbows up bullring is icing on the cake.

      If you are worried about cellphone service or a cushy seat, stay home.

        If you're worried about getting dirty, stay home. Us die hards go to see side by side, high speed racing.

          I’ve never been there. Always heard the racing is good, it looks good, but facilities are not very good. They didn’t help with your decision either. If you want nice facilities also, I wouldn’t go. But if you can deal with it, and watch good racing, go. Midway reminds me of what I picture Tyler to be.
          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            Tyler Co, is a good bit better than Midway. The Watsons have upgraded the place the past couple seasons. New lighting, they also added a new picnic shelter with a flat screen so you can also watch college football this weekend if you're there. I believe they brought in some more seating for this weekend as well.

              Tyler is possibly the raciest track in the country. If you like great racing, bring goggles and a bandana and go.

                Good to hear Boro. I need to make the journey one of these days. Was never because of facilities, just haven’t went. Guess one question I do have, any reserved seating?

                  You should only judge dirt tracks by the quality of the racing. Our group loves the dust because the dustier the track is the better the racing is. It has always been that way.

                    The race track and facilities, look like they fell out of the 70s. The racing is second to none though. I would go back of things worked out to where I could go again. I went in 2008 when it paid 40k to win.

                        The First Jackpot 100 might have been one of the best times I've ever had at the track. A concert where you can bring your own full size cooler, party in the pits till who knows when in the morning....... Race day it was over 95 degrees but we sat in our lawn chairs in the creek with a radio and some cold ones all day long. The people there, whether locals or out of towners were great. Oh yeah, the racing was pretty darn good too. Haven't been to the Hillbilly yet but looking forward to it someday.

                          Haven't ever been to Tyler, it's on the list.....

                          Bout the raciest track I've been to with consistency is Screven......can't recall ever seeing a snoozer there, ever.
                          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                            Dust, no problem. But if it’s so dusty you can’t see the action, problem. I’m not talking bout Tyler. I’m talking anywhere.
