Bad races

[WisWildManFan]

Haven’t seen a good late model show this year. I-55 Karl 50, FC summer nats, Sycamore $4k, lasalle summer nats. All 1 groove tracks. Sprint shows at I-55 and Beaver dam seemed better. Think it’s time for inverts or pill draw in late models.

Davenport Speedway is where you need to be. Great racing all year!

Haven't seen a bad late model race there since the Kay family took over one year ago!

Seems to be a dirt racing thing in general.

Nobody works a race track anymore either don't know how or to lazy they will even wait to race day to put any water on it.

I believe i-55 was the only one that brought machinery out before feature time. I'm talking about races I have attended in person this year just for clarification. Hoping beaver dam next week turns the year around. Been a long time since I have seen lates up there.

When my family ran a race track we raced on friday nights. We graded the track on saturday. Dragged it and walk around it a million times to pick up any rocks. Then Wednesday, Thursday and ALL day Friday we watered.

Seen 2 great races this year so far. Friday night, East Bay, Winternationals and MSCCS at ECM. ...Worst race of the year so far, the clash at the Mag.

I remember being at a hav-a-tampa race many many years ago at Lasalle.. Format was heat races lined up fastest at front. Feature lined up by heats by top finishing spots at front. I'd never seen a format like this in my life. I remember thinking "So a guys sets fast time, starts on pole of heat and wins, then starts on pole of feature and wins. Collects the $10,000 prize and never passes a car all night."
It didn't happen that way that night, but I've seen it play out exactly like that many times since. Later a lot of weekly races went to same type format. It doesn't make for a lot of excitement in features anymore.

I started off the year in January going to New Mexico & Arizona. The best race I attended this year was the Summer nationals race @ FALS. With bad storms on the way they moved the program along & the racing was outstanding in the Mods and Late Models. You had no idea who was going to win the race until the checker flag fell. Then the Storm hit soon there after... There was just to much moisture in the track last night @ LaSalle. Nice to see the stands packed though.
