    Maybe the planned racing going forward is not gonna be late model related. Seems that the full fendered cars are the ones that have a problem with aero on big tracks.

      410s would race even worse than late models there.

        Today's sprint car has absolutely no business racing there for a variety of reasons and the biggest one is safety conceerns.

          From FB:

          Poster: It's baffling to me to see all of the negativity surrounding this track on social media.

          Me: it’s more directed toward XR than the track, and is a result of their past practices/promises not being followed through on.

          Barry Braun (OFF THE TOP ROPE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!): Ask the folks at WVMS how that project was received. It has nothing to do with XR. It has everything to do with how people choose to operate on social media.

          Me: Respectfully sir, your organization has a history of making announcements, then backtracking on them or them not coming to fruition. Heck, you were building a new 1/4 mile with a schedule announced at Pennsboro. POOF. Dirt races at N. Wilkesboro. POOF. $100K race in Vegas. POOF. $20K race at All Tech. POOF. Working Man $10K at Gaffney turned into $7500 and different sanction. POOF. 2022 racing season at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track. POOF. The hardcore race fans you seek at customers have largely taken a "I'll believe it when I see it" approach to XR. I wish you the best of luck with this effort.


          GTFOH with the blaming fans on social media bs lol.

            Maybe Doug Bland is behind the scenes?

              Jerky, you and everyone else have a right to be concerned. I am.

              Doesn’t seem likely that they’ll be ready to race by May. I’d honestly say the chances are next to impossible.

              I see comments from BB and others on social media (fans) and I laugh, some things have been back tracked on, as far as comments made from earlier in the process.


              It’s been well documented how close I am to this place. There’s a lot of things that have just made me shake my head.

                Just three or four more months and we will see what happens. That's all I know, about this anyway.

                Do I see a can, ready for kicking again??

                  Braun apparently needs social media training.

                    It's winter in WV. NOTHING will get done before April.

                      They wasted the dry season in my parts which is late fall. Now they act like they're going to get things done when the ground thaws and the rains of spring start. I'll bet against that first race happening.

                        This is a total grift, plain and simple. If folks did more digging on XR and Barry they’d find out he still owes a lot of money to folks in the industry. With the one of the warmest Octobers and early Novembers on record, he couldn’t even finish small tasks for the track other than moving dirt.

                        The next update should be comedy gold on why it wasn’t done by Memorial Day.

                          The XRDL is in full effect. Pennsboro is not coming back folks.

                            I had hopes at first of going back there at least one more time, especially with the small track being built. I'll also jump on board with never seeing anything happen again. Braun will be burnt at the stake after this ordeal by the locals. I'm not even sure how much of this idea is even his fault. I'd bet he is wishing now he wouldn't have opened this can of worms. I feel like his whole reputation is riding on it.

                              I think his reputation has already diminished quite a bit?

                                I guess I should've said what is left of it.
