Wreck of the week

[Clayton_Wetter]

I would never attend a track weekly that does not apply good track prep that actually cuts into the track and gets water down under the surface. The first dirt tracks I went to did NOT have any dust even after the feature. Dry dirt produces dust. Moist dirt does not.

If I had to watch dusty races only, I would quit going or find a blacktop track to go to.

The point is, they can do something about the dust if the really wanted to.

[bite me too]

y'all should go to a North Eastern Georgia track...Lavonia, Hartwell, Toccoa. they're one lane dust bowls even after the sun goes down. can't see your foot at the end of your leg!

If I pay to see a race, I want to see a race. I won't go to road races or any race you can't see the back stretch for dust, haulers or buildings. End of story.

Clayton....I've used this reference a bunch on here. I went to Tyler County a couple years ago. I ate more dirt there after hot laps there than I had any track I've ever been to, after 3 laps of hot laps a car stopped on the track, my white shirt was a thick red on the shoulders. The track never got black slick until 25 laps or so into the 100 lap feature. They were cutting on the track when I got there, also seen one of the best races I've seen there that time. I don't know if it's the type of dirt that's on that place or what it is.

I have no problem with dust. I don't like it....but don't complain about it. I plan on going back there sometime.

There's a reason

There's a reason I no longer go to those tracks.

I have no doubt that the cars are all over the track with plenty of action and passing, but it must be rough being hammered by the dust. Is everyone issued sealed goggles and a respirator before entering. lol

I grow up on rough sand storm track i don't mind it one bit. If you want a prefect none rough sand storm track time to time and complain about it. I really believe you should stick to asphalt jmo.

Most of the ones I seen were prepared for it. Never seen many respirators, did see a few grinding shields though.

I try to get to Tyler County about 2-3 times/year and it has been that way every time I've ever been there. Can't say I like the dust, and I can't figure out for the life of me why they can't control it a little better, but it's usually some of the best racing of my year. That's why I keep going back. Just don't wear anything you don't mind getting ruined and eyewear is just as important as ear protection. The Big Diamond video actually didn't look too bad especially for a day race.
