    First trip to Charlotte

    Had a great time.. and what an event it is! My first time seeing the Big Blocks... wasnt overly impressed but to each thier own.
    It was my son's first time seeing the Sprint Cars.. and wouldnt you know he won the drawing for Logan Schuharts helmet! That was cool.
    The late models were pretty good, and the weekend as a whole was as much fun as I've had in a while. Maybe one of the funnest race trips ive ever been on. Me, my brother and our sons on a guys weekend. Glad we finally did it.

    With all that said, I have to say it's still not Eldora. Some folks said it was better, but they were wrong (IMO). As much as the world Finals has to offer... it misses the electricity that's in the air at the World 100 or the Dream.

    Now that Charlotte is checked off the bucketlist.. I think Knoxville is probably up next.

      world finals is just a different experience with as much entertainment as there is outside track. For me it's hard to justify plane tickets and hotels after i've watched racing all summer long. Not to mention the weather is gamble, it was colder there than northern IL. I would also recommend the dome as a truly unique experience. I went to knoxville late model nationals a couple years back but I probably will try to go the sprint nationals next. Just not enough racing for me on saturday.

            Obviously those obscene amount of cars didn't have a problem with the purse.

              A lot of crying in that one post. It to far, it's to cold, it doesn't pay enuff, there's to many cars. Not words of a true racer or fan. I'm sure nobody went cuz they thought Little Johnnie Huck would be there

                Huck said it didn't make sense for his program. At least he didn't go then complain about the format or having to pass cars. Nor did he pull off the track when he was out of the money, "like a real racer".

                  We enjoyed the racing and the atmosphere. Had some big block fans and some sprint car fans around us. Had some good conversation. My only gripe is having to pay 5 dollars for a bottle of water and 7 dollars for a corn dog.

                    I always thought the same w prices of food but i believe they pay a big fee to put there booth in there and have to make up for rent.

                        When you pay them other guys bills you can tell them when to ride and burn their sh!t up and when to pull in.
                        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          Your last line is me. Working in the cold and getting paid is one thing, being in the cold for “fun” is another.

                          And the weather is hit or miss there.

                            You could surely increase your racing margins if you invested in your program...….like a driving school!

                            Im sure Dale Mcdowell would give you a discount if you signed up for 30 days instead of the usual 7!

                              I didn't tell them what to do. I pointed out hypocritical treatment of Huck. The whole economics of top level dlm racing is trash. It makes no sense. That is why people pack it in running 11th.
