30th Annual Show Me 100 Friday update

I don't make it over there like I used to but been going over there before it was bought and turned into lucas oil speedway. A lot has changed about the place but the track for the most part is the same as it was 30 years ago.

The track has always been a mixed bag after a rain before the races but most of the time it's pretty good but the rain seems to mess with it. Probably would have helped if it was packed in better before they started hotlapping on it. The first sessions where really slow (18/19 seconds) and showed the track wasn't ready and by the 6th hotlap group they where running qualifying times.

Don’t get me wrong: I am not taking up for Lucas Oil Speedway (or any other track that is really-really rough) it’s hard on esuipment, safety of the drivers certainly come in to play. But Mother Nature throws slot of curve balls to dirt tracks. The perfect scenario just doesn’t always happen. I do (from a fans perspective) like to see a track with a little character and not rubbered up 1 lane. Dirt racing like any sport is entertainment and a Choo-Choo train isn’t entertaining for anyone except the winner.

I pointed out Davenport/TMac but wasn’t singling just those 2 out. They definitely have contributed much to the sport. What I was trying to say is most all top level drivers (unless there is family $$ involved) started at the bottom then thru work/determination gradually got a decent ride by showing their ability.

What bothers me is sometimes they forget where they came from. You can’t always have your cake and eat it too!
To many times a microphone is put in front of them at not the appropriate time and therefore you don’t always get an appropriate response.
All I’m saying is a bad track is out there deliberately- crap happens sometimes- take what you have-give it your best and move on. Or, if you don’t like what you see in the track- put it in the box and load up. They do have that choice.
Just recently we went to the Flo:Castro’s race at Eldora & Brownstown. 61/2 hours to Eldora- motel/gas$$ -food tickets & we upgraded to a suite because of the temperature and we had a few females. Exspensive night for terrible racing/ sucked it up, didn’t bash anyone and went to Brownstown the next night and witnessed excellent racing!
Poop Happens whether we want it to or not!
