Portsmouth should be embarrassed.

PRP track work

There ain’t jack you are going to do to make it any better for a 100 lapper at the end of three days of racing. Still consider it three days, 2 shows Friday. PRP just doesn’t hold up. You’d had to spend way to long working it, and praying it stayed together to really make a difference. And it wouldn’t hold up if you worked it like ya needed and then turned cars loose. It’d been a cornfield. Redo the format and have strictly BMains, then DTWC, anything else would be after that on Saturday. After you were able to totally redo the track after Friday’s action.

Be your only hope I think. But I’ve been there multiple times. Love the area. Track is great for short races. Long races, consecutive days, just doesn’t hold up. Maybe try some of them additives VP and others make. Or move it. Atomic gets my vote.

Give Brad a chance. Let him hopefully redeem what Schrader ruined.

My sentiments too. Cool area, good for their economy, but PRP is just notorious for that. They just are.

PRP has consistently sucked at anything over 50 laps for at least the past 15 years. It almost always rubbers up halfway through. The only good one I remember seeing was when Josh McGuire won the Lucas Show back in like 08, I think it was only 75 laps, and even that one rubbered up at about lap 55 or 60. The promoters/owners sound like good people. The facility is good, the parking excellent, the location for the DTWC is centrally located. That said, the track needs new dirt and a reconfigure. Everyone always says it’s the river flooding. Peoria and Davenport flood all the time. The racing at both is light years ahead of PRP.

Most 100 lappers tend to lock down. This idea that 100 lap races used to be these fantastic shows is some serious revisionist history.

I’d have no problems seeing it back at Atomic.

[SHOESTRING TRVLR]

T3r3e3. Davenport speedway has never flooded. The downtown area does, but the racetrack itself is far enough away from the river.

Understand people’s frustrations, for many this is a much anticipated event and a season wrap up. But after watching the video not sure the outcome would have been effected one way or the other, Shep was the best car there by light years. Maybe effect some of the other finishing positions but not the winner.

I remember in 2011 at Atomic....... it locked down halfway through the 2nd heat. At that point I decided I drove 3 hours for the food, and I got a selfie with a guy that looked just like me.
I’ve said for years that it’s not really the track as much as it’s the format. That’s a lot of cars and a lot of laps for one weekend. I mean if you dive deep enough into it, the event itself is the common denominator.

You’ll probably see Oil Gate 2.0 if PRP does this next year......... if there’s a next year for PRP.

Carl Short's DTWC could give craps about the racing. He is still taking in the money......it is whatever track will give him the best deal to take "his" race to.

It could be worse. It could still be at Pennsboro.

Bring it to East Bay especially in their final season. Start the tour there. End it there.

[Pennsboro32]

It could be worse. It could still be at Pennsboro.

Might as well still be there.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Might as well still be there.

It would be rubbered in heat 1.

The place is in Ohio (what else would you expect) ?😜

Horrible location and wouldn't work. Racing is pretty bottom dominant there too.
