Portsmouth should be embarrassed.

Not sure why Portsmouth couldn't have racing on Saturday like this decent track.

As to the above post, the guaranteed time in the work area makes for so many pit stops that some of these sanctioned 100 lappers become unbearably long. Doesn't seem to be as big a deal at Eldora because there are no points on the line so it does no good to stop, draw a yellow, then come back out to salvage 12th like it does when you are running for points. If you draw a yellow, go to pits & if the lineup gets set in short order, you don't get much time. Too bad IMO.

Great points ! But then you are talking points of COMMON SENSE in witch many on here cant seem to comprehend ! !Originally posted by Buford.Justice View Post100 laps, double file restarts, flats tires(cars pitting) lapped traffic making and stopping passes, and a few actual passes under green. Easily explains the position changes!!

Good point since the flood water is not rushing over the track itself.Originally posted by Highside Hustler25 View PostClay doesn't wash away in non moving standing water. The track gets covered in river silt. You just grade the silt off and haul it away. They do it almost every year here as well. As long as the track is sealed up it shouldn't be a problem.
Sometimes river dirt can actually be great to actually put on a racetrack. Not at PRP though.
At Tri-State Speedway in Indiana they put black gumbo down supposedly from a river bottom and that stuff was the tackiest clay I've ever seen anywhere.
Once WOO Outlaw Sprints were doing wheelies and I stepped in some clay that I couldn't hardly scrape off.Last edited by Buford.Justice; 10-20-2020, 09:44 PM.

Easily explains the position changes!!Originally posted by 0_VodooChild_0 View PostSeems odd to me that Tyler Erb advanced 17 spots, Brandon Sheppard advanced 10 spots, Stormy Scott advanced 18 spots, Davenport / Feger advaced 14 spots, Clanton / Broson moved up 12 spots, How the heck was it a bad race. You people crying are the reason for death of the sport you say you love. Not every race is going to be perfect for every fan BUT just to be able to have racing is huge especially in 2020.if you want to critique a race .....fine but please stop trying to kill the sport.............Of all the people crying about the DTWC, HOW MANY ACTUALLY ATTENDED IN PERSON VS WATCHING IT STREAMING??????

Atomic gets new dirt twice a year now.Originally posted by Live4DLM View PostTake it back to Lawrenceburg. Atomic was great in 2005 and 2006 but the new dirt they put on in 2007 ruined it. Maybe Virginia Motor as a option too

PRP completely floods out almost every year. New clay will just wash away in the spring.

Maybe Lucas can put the cars on a different tire? That's cheaper for everyone.Originally posted by jhanson View PostDoes Portsmouth have money to haul in new clay ? Tracks can be refreshed with the right clay. Some tracks are close to good deposits of clay---some not . . . . hauling costs.

i was at the races saturday night but pulled it up on my phone and watched the last 64 laps and never saw a green flag pass that wasnt a restart. Ive yet to see a good dtwc there, really wish theyd move it somewhere that can stay competitive. The heats friday were good but they had to work the track for an hour to do it

"There was good ones at Atomic, problem is, we only remember the one where Schrader knew he was losing the track, so he put in zero effort. And it was awful. Was windy and sunny, but he truly put in zero effort.
I’d let Brad have a crack at it. He’s a good promoter who actually tries."
Thats not entirely true. Shrader wanted to water and fix the track , but Ritchie Lewis told him NO , he didn't want his drivers to have to change thier setups. Shrader walking up the stairs to the tower "This is just gonna make me look bad"
In the early 2000's PRP had some really good 100 lappers. I agree with some that quite a bit of it is with the cars now. Some tracks just aren't very good for long races with the way they are now.
