Dome Race

[dirty-white-boy]

Couldn't agree more. They act as if they are there college bro's. If they would ever ask a real question they'd get kicked out of the teams pit. Ask the tuff questions.

BP. do you put xtra bars on the right side of your car ?
Scott. Dude the Martians are calling, you think it's time to beam up ?
B Shepp. You left one of the top rides in the country, why ?
Cody. Why did the partnership with Scott fall apart ?
WoO, Lucas. Why can't you see the aero problem with today's cars ?
Ben Shelton, get back in front of the mirror, you need more make-up.

No kidding! Nobody wants to hurt feelings these days or sponsors may pull their paychecks. Ben has to comment on EVERYTHING, it can never be about a moment or that person. Its tiring. Chet is 10 times more entertaining and does not use the same worn out lines and if he does at least they are funny! I do admit they try really hard to make 2 cars running in a line 5 cars apart into a "battle on the track"


2 by 2 like Noah led the animals to the ark
Did you have that on your bingo card?

Best crowd ever for a Thursday night (or insert the night)

Ben has little man syndrome without a doubt. I use to tolerate him- not do much anymore. Punk hair, he and his wife pierced and inked up. ( that’s okay if that’s your thing). He’s more interested in getting on social media showing pictures of his new house, new fancy cars, vacations in the islands ect. Who really gives a rats hind end. On camera he seems friendly/sociable- try talking to him in person- it’s like I dare you speak to me. I have tried many times (not at the track where he is at work) but in motel lobbies/ breakfast bars ect. I could buy/sell him many times over- but I choose not to boast about personal life. Dustin is good without the little punk Shelton.
Sure do miss Rigsby’s involvement on the late model scene.

Anyone else surprised that Hocevar got the promoters choice provisional? I guess we know who will get that provisional in the coming years from here on out.

Nope it's his show he can pick whoever he wants.

That LM feature race had more passing for the lead than some other crown jewel races this year. I'm taking my 9 and 5 year old boys next year. I'm sold on the event.

They clay near the bottom is like being between a rock and a hard place. The hard surface under the clay is actually working to make the track rough as there is not enough give space for the clay to hold up.

I think as the event evolves, we'll see less and less big name guys driving their own gear there. It would be cheaper to take some weekend teams Kryptonite out than your main Longhorn.

We have the biggest f¥

i go every year, it is a great show. different style of racing than eldora or other big tracks but probably more entertaining. If these cars were not getting so fancy and aero dependent then bringing nice cars would not be a big deal. Yes, it would be nice to fix or remedy the track exit situation. Yes, it would be nice to weed out some of the cars constantly causing yellows. As far as bashing the announcers and talking about them personally, how classy is that? SMH.

It was really smooth night 1, but they "fixed it". It was all but said they wanted it rough. They like a rough track and unpolished individuals they can put a mic in front of. It's a spectacle where they do some racing.

There are corn fields in central Illinois smoother than that track. I don’t see how that could be fun at all driving in that, but apparently it is fun because people show up and participate every year.

So much negativity lol. I’ve watched through streaming in the past, and it’s pretty blah aside from the few electric moments via interviews or drama. However, attending is an entirely different experience. The electricity inside the dome during the highlight moments is chilling. There are plenty of miserable moments of down time from wrecks but far overpowered by the intensity and good moments. There was at times good racing considering the size they are confined to. The mods raced cleaner and better than the late models so ripping them is simply based on being a mod hater under any circumstance. The ruts in the track enhance the passing ability so it’s a needed element. No one is forced to watch so find another means of entertainment and get off of flo for the night. And announcers having fun at the event and providing a less professional vantage point goes with the vibe of the weekend and enhances the entertainment. Nascar puts a corporate prim and proper show on every Sunday if that’s your preference. We had nearly 100 people from our area sitting all throughout our section and not a single one had a bad time. We all had a bucket list type experience from the atmosphere to key interview moments and key racing moments as well as the time out on the town.

Do you guys piss in your own Wheaties or have somebody do it for you?

I felt like Thursday was to dry/smooth and the racing suffered as a result. I think Friday was the right mixture character but not to rough for most of the night. All things considered it's a pretty good show. It's far more of an event than a race but I like it. I think considering all the dynamics and logistics their up against that they do a great job with the track. As far as people complaining about tearing stuff up that's part of racing and I've seen worse tracks that have been prepared by the same people 20 weeks a year for decades with no improvement. I've been to it in person and it's a great time. The only gripe I have about the stream is the basically dead air during the down time. Their is no reason for it. Put a highlight real on more commercials for sponsors anything but a basically blank screen. And that gripe is with flow in general.

I don't understand the complaints about the mods. They put on a good program this year. I believe its because it was invite only. The late models need to be invite only too to get these junkers off the track that can't hold a line for anything. Every year its a train wreck until the feature on Saturday because of the junk.
