Dome Race

I enjoyed it. Highlights for me where Tyler Erb winning even after loosing his Dad just days before. Not even an Erb fan but thought that moment was special. Was awesome to see the fans reactions when Kenny Wallace won his LCQ race to get into the feature.

Is it everyone's cup of tea? Of course not.

Is it more about the event and atmosphere then the quality of racing? Probably so but that could be said for other events. DTWC at Pennsboro comes to mind. Many of you on here stated the racing there always sucked but you would be there every year just for the party.

I'd say it is like Bowman Gray on dirt. Probably more of an entertainment factor then pure racing but it works as there's always a large car count with a large crowd. Of course a lot of stuff is going to get torn up but the drivers know that going in and keep showing up.

Bowman gray covered with dirt??? Hmmmm….that doesn’t sound terrible at all.

As an owner and still sometimes driver who grew up on some pretty rough midwest joints in the late 1950-1960s the racing sure takes me back to that era. Very few competitors whined about how tough it was. It's just the way it was. Would I want it back to that on a regular basis? No, but it's a nice thing to revisit on occasion.

Weatherman's comment calling it "Bowman Gray on dirt" was quite true. Watched Friday night live and they sure tore up some stuff. Was all set for more of the same on Saturday and my Broadband went out before it even started and just got fixed this morning so enjoyed the reruns this morning while the snow piles up a couple of miles up the road in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

One of things I enjoyed is seeing some of the promising up and coming talent that is a little under the radar. Guys like Cody Bauer the northern Michigan guy in the Domination chassis, Will Herrington the very capable young Georgia guy, of course Tyler Carpenter and many more in both the SLM and Mods. Just watching the super stars of the sport at the established big name tracks week after week gets monotonous to me. Might not to others but different strokes...
