Definitely a southern thing. I live in the area, many of the other dirt tracks here do the same. 6-12 classes of cars @ $30 pit pass. Many of those classes have 4-5 cars. Boy those make for great features! (not). The other popular trend in the south is to leave the track sealed up all summer. Then just dump water on it come Saturday morning. They all like to brag how smooth their track is. However many times the racing suffers. (its like watering a rock). I remember watching Earl Baltes work his track with a 6 row chisel plow after Fridays show, and he would have it watered and ironed back out for Saturday. Don't get me started on qualifying and then lining the feature straight up with fast man on the pole... Race fans in the south wouldn't know how to act in Illinois or Ohio where you can see a man start 10-16 and still win the race.

This post is spot on. It’s not track bashing, it’s the cold hard truth. These are the reasons that when we go to watch racing we travel north. Only reason I travel south is to visit the beach and eat fresh seafood.

You enjoy 10 classes, with many races with less than 10 cars, go knock yourself out. It ain’t for me.

Judging off your signature, it doesn't look like you care much local racing anyway. I just don't get it. #8

I’ve done the local thing in my teens and 20’s. I raced pony’s, limiteds, and supers back in those days as well. I know what I like. Watching a bunch of local yahoos race with 10 car fields, single car spinouts continuously, I’ve graduated from that. You go to Fairbury, Cedar Lake, Eldora, East Bay, I-55, Charlotte, you’ll see why I am the way I am.

Last race I went to with my late father was the gobbler at Cleveland. They did that. Stopped the whole program in 40 degree weather to interview Lonnie Bob on the frontstretch and then him take photos with all of his extended family. Oh you know we was giving them the business vocally.
