    Racetrack Revival — Round 2

    Anyone see the latest posts by the racetrack revival page and Barry Braun? Looks like they are reviving a dirt track somewhere and posted some cryptic tweets last couple days. Any ideas?

    My bet is they move the former Bristol dirt nationals to another Tennessee clay venue.

      Is Cleveland TN completely gone? That would be an awesome revival. I thought maybe Rolling Wheels?

          Bayko, if your right, folks should probably get in line a week early. You know I'd love to see the place come back, but I really wonder what type of racing we would have with these cars we have today.

            dirtcrazy4u - The racing sucked back then, it would definitely suck now. Narrow track with no banking and no lights.

                  Jesus Pennsboro? Place wasn’t wide enough for good racing in the 90’s, imagine what todays cars would look like trying to pass there

                    Drop Shock said todays cars and pass in the same sentence. That's hilarious.

                      What would be the difference in any other track at the moment?

                        The bridges in the turns made it almost impossible to run 2 wide, especially in turns 1 and two. They would have to take the bridges out, modern body’s are considerably wider and cars are actually capable of getting sideways in the black groove

                            Man I was hoping for anything but Pennsboro… the place will not race good and it is way, way too much money. There are no seats in place to begin with. I would love to see some 1/4 mile revived that would succeed and race good.

                              With the much needed work that would be required, couldn't they configure the track differently? I can't even imagine the size of the trees that have obviously taken over that place.
