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

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.

Screven has the finest racing in Georgia and maybe the whole SE. I think Tyler is better. IMO I promise you Screven has better food!

I can't argue with you on the food, but have you ever had Tyler Co's feesh sammich?

I have not.

Good racing= Yes

Too much dust = no, not good

Can't the dust dealt with?

Some people actually can't handle too much dust.

Being able to breath and see the cars should matter, but who am I to question the loyalists???

We've got a track like Tyler here in the Midwest. Macon Speedway. It's only around 70 years old and the grandstands look like they were built in the 40's. Even though it's a dump, I've NEVER heard anyone complain about that place. Good racing can overcome the negatives sometimes.

I’m not sure the dust can be dealt with. They place can have tack in it all night and still dust up. It’s very similar to the way the old Flemington Speedway used to be super dusty even if it was pull your shoes off tacky with a big fat cushion.

Wow, the clay must be unique.

Wow, the clay must be unique.

They get water from the creek behind the track that has a lot of silt in it. The silt is put on the track with the water and makes it a "dirty" racetrack. It's not dusty like some tracks, it's more of a wet dirt that rains on you.

[Clayton_Wetter]

I see, it's that water.

Awesome racing for sure but dustbowl, WOW!!

[dirt crow]

i see, it's that water.

Several ways to deal with dust... today's promoters evidently have never heard of calcium chloride. It's used across the world to hold the moisture in the track. It's used on construction sites and roadbuilding projects to keep the dust down. Cheap and easy to find at any feed store.

I've also used a couple other chemicals in the past. Bought one in the late 80's from some outfit in Chicago...$900.00 for a 55 gallon drum. Used one gallon in a 2000 gallon water tank. Virtually eliminated the dust...

Our local track got busted by the epa for using that stuff!

Screven has been my favorite track since i made my 1st Volusia trip and decided to stop there on the way. As far as the Hillbilly 100 i haven't been since that and the DTWC was held at Pennsboro. Wasnt the best racing there but i miss that place and always looked forward to going each year.

I always wondered if the dust had something to do with where the water intake point is on Middle Island Creek? I assume that’s where the track is pulling their water from.
