Was thinking the same thing, but at east bay............maybe tie the two together somehow for a Florida shootout.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

TMS would be awesome! They have races there twice a year and get 30-40 late models at the March race every year! Gustin won it in March and year before Mo Bags won it

I'm sure they're quite different, just pointing out that they had some of the best in the business handling track prep...Originally posted by chupp n bloomer fan View PostYes they are, but prepping Lernerville and prepping Charlotte is two different animals. One runs weekly, one doesn't, and I'm sure the dirt is different wether it looks the same or not.I don't always post on 4m.. But when I do, I'm usually sitting on the crapper!!

I think some of you are forgetting one thing. What track has a BIG enough pit area to accommodate all those cars at one time and has decent track prep & a good amount of seating?Nathan Stephens

Do you think it is that they don't like the track or is it because it is so far out in the middle of nowhere?Originally posted by Josh Bayko View PostVMS. Beautiful facility with a ton of seating. Problem is, racers don't seem to like that place much.
Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with the track at Charlotte, but it seems to me that they are just cramming too much racing into the weekend. With three big divisions with high car counts trying to run full programs everything has to go right to keep the track in good shape. Any sort of extended red flags for any reason and that becomes virtually impossible...as we saw this weekend.
I love the idea of having an event like the World Finals, but if that is the WRG marque event, they need to work on organizing things better. JMOLast edited by SnakeX3; 11-09-2015, 01:08 AM.

Its too bad they cant run more shows at Charlotte during the summer. Im from an area where the "nice" facilities are harder to find so the venue at Charlotte is awesome, but I think the lack of racing on the surface really hurts them. Why dont they race more their during the season? I'm guessing it has to do with the cost? It would be cool to see the 3 series come together during the middle of the summer maybe at Eldora or somewhere and run for a weekend.
It would also be fun to see the UMP mods run at the World Finals.....Last edited by WRC11; 11-09-2015, 08:53 AM.

Instead of moving the World Finals, maybe a better thread would be where to move the DTWC.

I think it probably has to do mostly with how remote the track is. I've never heard anybody complain about the track itself, just how far away from everything it is.Originally posted by SnakeX3 View PostDo you think it is that they don't like the track or is it because it is so far out in the middle of nowhere?

My suggestion is why not do something else like World finals, at Lernerville? Say Big blocks and Late models. I like it at The Dirt Track. Beside where else are you going to get 86 lates and 52 sprint cars together. Both were some of the largest car counts of the year. Everyone must remember The Dirt Track at Charlotte has had rough track history really since the track opened. I remember a few Colossal races that were quite rough.

I don't think it'll actually ever be moved, nor should it really. Unless Charlotte gets rid of the dirt track. Then other tracks would have to be discussed.Originally posted by dirtisforracin View PostMy suggestion is why not do something else like World finals, at Lernerville? Say Big blocks and Late models.

And you're right, it is usually rough at Charlotte. It wasn't but a few years ago that a pile of drivers went to the hospital because the track was coming apart and giant chunks of clay were making their way into (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pits.
They don't want any dust at all from the dirt track. Even when the track hasn't had several inches of rain dumped on it like it did this past week and weekend, they water the living crap out of it to try to keep the dust down.
