No more LOLMDS @ Tazewell???

[ShawnStreet]

I'll agree with foxfire about Tazewell. The restrooms have not been updates since General Longstreet peed there after the Civil War battle for Knoxville. Also, I'm wondering if Volunteer might be back on the schedule. That's four tracks really close together battling for dates -- 411, Smoky Mountain, Volunteer and Tazewell. Someone had to get the short end of the stick and Taz has the worst facilities so...

And yet Tyler Co. has 2 Lucas dates. They have made a few upgrades lately but it still has to rank as one of most rudimentary tracks around. Probably more to the Taz story, there usually is.

Atleast Tyler County is racey... Tazewell is fast but that doesn’t produce good racing

We go to Tazewell just about every year, and have since HAT was there in the 90’s. When you never do anything to upgrade your facility or your track, you have no right to cry when things like this happen. Also, as someone else said, the road in and out of there has to be pretty tough for those big haulers. Parking for fans isn’t exactly a pleasure either. Tazewell is a cool track when it’s racy, but more often than not it isn’t good enough to overcome all the negatives about the place. I know a lot of people are surprised by this announcement, but I’m not. With Smoky Mountain bouncing back with a promoter willing to do whatever it takes to be a top attraction, places like Tazewell will get left behind.

The problem with tazwell is they have forgot how to work there track when John Thompson had the track it was racy every night not now I quit going.

Tazewell has been one groove around the top every time I've been there. As a promoter you have to realize that and make the bottom racier, even if that means taking some of the banking out of it.

I will miss Tazewell, but I hope this means that another East Tennessee track like Bull's Gap can get back on the schedule.

I wonder what the car counts have been for Lucas the last say 5 years. Seems to me they had trouble drawing enough cars for full field.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

This years car count was 27

Facilities suck at Tazewell but usually it's a good race. Smokey Mountain is always a train race, 411 is a day race in reality because of the time limit and Volunteers track prep has been spotty. I haven't been to a race at the Gap since the new promoter so I hope the prep is better now. Volunteer can be a premier track if the surface is done right, facilities are nice easy to get to and parking is good.

I noticed 411 is on the schedule the problem there is the curfew if they would cut back to about 3 classes instead of 6 an let the sun get down they might have a good race but other than that it want be any better than the taz.
