    I have found my optimism beaten down by 40 years of experience, but to each his own!

      Used to be a lot of hom cooking years ago too but you could still see some good racing. The last one I went to was probably I'm guessing 10 years ago at the icebreaker I believe Earl Pearson won that one. And if you don't get there by 130 2 o'clock you're pretty much screwed on a decent place to sit information

        Rain chances have fallen to 20% now for Saturday.. But Friday is looking very bad.

        So does a rain out on Friday mean a purse cut for Saturday like a couple years ago?

          One day shows pay $12,000 to win; 2 day shows pay $20,000 to win... drivers getting cheated out of purse money on these two day shows.

          Back on topic, I'd bet my arse that they cut it if they lose a night.

            If they cut to one day, history says it will be 15K. I believe that to total BS. It’s still 100 laps. Most 100 papers deserve at least 20K. On another note, people interested in going should read the website for seat marking times and gate opening times.

                It's bullsh1t that they started doing that purse cut deal, the place seats PLENTY of people to cover the total purse and it will be packed full, hope everyone enjoys watching the dustbowl 100....

                  If it is a dust bowl it will be my last one. And they can still pay $20K for a one day event. Seating is near 5 thousand. 4 1/2 for sure. It will be packed once again.

                        Brownstown is lucky they have fans who are clueless to what is and is not racing... cars go round and round is racing...lol
                        But above fans at any track, how can drivers deal with the lack of track prep... just amazes me on how it all continues to even exist... few tracks even care about the actual race quality...
                        It's just amazing the way of the world these days.

                          I bet money you could go down there right now and the track has not been touched.

                                I remember my last race at browntstown, the track was so bad the cars actually fishbowled. The leader couldnt even catch the backmarkers, just like watching fish swim in a bowl. That of course was after the 5 supporting classes. Never to return.
