Dream 100...Eldora Speedway, JD and Bloomer...What made it good was Bloomer won, Thanks to Owens, but was light at the scale...the 2 best cars put on a hell of a race..Can't wait for the World 100
Its sad to say, but I haven't seen a good race yet this year. I have been to 6 races. 3 WOO and 3 unsanctioned in KY and WV. They were all too dusty to see the race. My eyes are still swelled up from last Saturdays race. I am not an advocate of hooked up hammer down race tracks, but they got to have something besides water on them when they are fine sandy dirt. You can race in the rain at some of these tracks, and they will still be dusty. The promoters ( gate openers, there aren't many real promoters anymore) are running our sport in the ground. Guys , open your eyes to what is happening. Racers are quitting in record numbers because they aren't having fun anymore. Fans don't want to be sandblasted, and are going somewhere that isn't hot, dirty, and miserable. They make stuff to help the track hold moisture, you need to use some of it. Shape your racetracks with a little different banking ( higher at the top, flatter at the bottom) so there is a chance for somebody to pass sometime during the night. Quit blaming everything on the economy, and open your eyes to how bad you have let your tracks get. If we were having fun racing on a decent track that you could pass on, we would figure out how to get enough funds to race with. We always have in the past, it just isn't worth it to go to a one groove dusty track that you cant see to race on, and cant leave before 1 or 2 AM, and get home at 4 or 5 in the morning. I am too old for this crap.
When it's dusty just take it in man... part of the experience. You gotta realize that you gotta take the good with the bad. Next time they race and you don't go it could end up being a top 5 race, you never know. My top race was USA Nationals WoO Thursday. Still can't believe Jr hit the wall, fell to 3rd only to retake the lead a handful laps later, only to lose it to potentially what could be the best run dirt late model driver has ever been on.

You can't please everyone. IMO some of the best racing has taken place this year. I had to think about what race I picked as the best one I've seen this year in person. I've been to right at probably 20 raced this year and the worst one was probably the Brownstown Lucas race. Other than that I haven't seen what I would call a bad race. All the others were interesting. If people can't take dust.....they should start watching asphalt races bottom line. Its the nature of the beast folks.
