Henry, most folks don't count anything but a Lucas and maybe a Woo victory.

I really like Spoon River, but man the choo choo was rolling in that feature. Watched like 15 laps and that was enough.

Yeah, that was disappointing.

[chathamracefan]

Yeah, that was disappointing.

There also didn't appear to be many butts in seats when they showed a crowd shot right before the feature. I know some folks would be at concessions or walking around but it looked pretty empty for such a big show. I've been to summernats there several times & it is usually pretty much a full house. It seems by week 4, summernats fatigue has set in.

Terbo dropping off the national tours and going outlaw had ended up being a very fruitful move.

I know, but other people opinions(ie the unwashed masses and sticky keyboard warriors) don't interest me. I was never a Terbo supporter, his attitude and mouth really turned me off, but... I'm mature enough that if I see someone changing, making an effort and succeeding I think its worth noting. The Hell tour has always impressed me, to race for a month straight takes something special and I applaud all who've attempted it. If a person can't see the value in tackling this endeavor, to me they aren't a racer. Fans don't interest me, at least not their opinions, unless you've raced and done the work and put in the countless hours, endured the disappointment and pain, I don't want to hear what they have to say about the value of one win vs. another. A "Win is a Win", some just pay more. I don't have to like a racer as a person to applaud his efforts mind you, but Terbo seems to be making strides in all areas and that impresses me. Take Bloomer, he was unquestionably a force to be reckoned with for many years, he excelled in driving, fabrication, technology and determination etc for decades and I can applaud that. However the things he got up to outside actual racing I can't abide. IMHO, those extracurricular activities are what derailed the rest of his life and most likely cut it short, may he rest in peace. I don't know what Terbo gets upto away from the track, but what comes out in interviews and racing shows growth to me. In my career I've had the opportunity to work with a few top shelf drivers, some in the HOF and a few have gone down the same road as Bloomer, Buck Simmons for example. I loved Buck, he was my chilldhood hero and it was my honor to help get him over the 1000 career win mark, but his choices and lifestyle cut his life and win count short too. I recommend reading the book of Proverbs to anybody interesting in succeeding at life, I wish I'd gotten hold of it sooner and took it to heart.

Later, Dudes.

I noticed the crowd too. I thought about going up to TriState to check that place out. But with drivers slowly dropping off, that's a long drive for me to see dwindling fields.

But you know when it's prepped right it's produces some very good racing.. With the temps the way they are it's hard to keep moisture in the track.

Agreed. I really like the place including the backwoods sort of feel. Seen many good races there. Usually the top stays good for the features & people can get runs on the top.

I have to agree where the track is located is a plus It's just a neat track. The first time you pull up you think, now this is a race track...

[zyoung25]

I'm surprised the Florida/GA boys have stuck it out this long. If it was not for them, the car counts would be under 25 every night.

Mills and Whitener have been solid most nights

I don't know terbo nor have i ever even met him but im an huge student of the sport and read just about every article posted in Relation to the sport that's from a reputable source. Terbo doesn't come from that same class of people that typically make their way into the upper tiers of latemodel racing these days. Their is alot of money in his familys type of Buisness but non of its "easy" money you work for it and usually the owners are always in the trenches and you couldn't tell them apart from any of the labor in a line up. Alot of us guys from those sort of upbringings are a little rough around the edges especially in how we speak lol. Terbo has over come alot of challenges in his life from a young age and clearly worked for what he has (nobody does it without some help obviously) but love him or hate him he's acceled and is maturing on all fronts. As far as his away from the track life it would appear that their isn't much of it besides putting in work for the next event because at this point in time. From the outside looking in it looks like all that guy wants to do is race! And he's doing it

[Pennsboro32]

Not to mention, he’s great with kids at the track. I was always so so on Terbo until my son met him at last years dream at Eldora. He was great with him, made me a fan.

[golddirt]

If you watch terbo in the pits he is the first one to offer a competitor help that’s what made me a fan!!
