    NoHave you looked at the weather. I have been watching all week. It started out at 40% a week ago it gradually got up to about 70%. The haulers will get stuck and that pit gate opening is dangerous when its muddy. I was really looking foward to this race as its one of my all time favorites but it is what it is.
    Curious question from a guy who has heard a lot about this track but has never been there... Why is the pit gate dangerous when muddy? Struck my interest...

      Its not actually right at the gate. You have to come down a steep incline into the pits that are in the infield. I saw a hauler jacknife ito the inside retaining wall one time. Looks like its a lil tricky at times.

        The folks I know that have done it in the haulers describe it as " dicey" if you aren't prepared for it....wythe is on the bucket list.
        Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

              Im not disagreeing w you but it sucks that the weather didnt turn out how it was posted on my weather info and it turned out to b a nice day out. The 1000 tix were for online sales and some were for gate sales. Ik they have restrictions there and fred prolly wants to play by the rules so to speak. Just wish this race would have happened oh well. Hope u enjoy ur vacation nc mudcat

                Great track actually 👍. In part Because of the terrain around the track 👍

                      And then when they try to run, and get a hauler either flipped or hitting that gate or wall, they shoulda canceled, wtf were they doing. Or Fred gotta cut down his race track 6” to a foot right in one spot to get them out.

                      Play it safe, and drown out the “track operators”.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          Wythe is awesome, have watched a couple of haulers wrecked going in or out (and was a passenger in one when it happened!). Hendren junked both truck and trailer on a beautiful sunny day, water truck had just made a pass and once the trailer started to slide it was done for. BBQ, you have to get there. Make it to Charlotte and I will haul you the remainder of the trip...

                                You'll never convince me that you didn't listen to C.W. McCall while driving that chicken hauler...
