    Don't live anywhere close to Hagerstown but I thought the whole Capitol thing was because it was close to the actual Capitol of the United States

    Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

        If I remember correctly from a list of states with the most dirt tracks I saw a couple years ago, based on that, Iowa would be "the capital of dirt racing". New York would actually be second.

          Several cars who generally run Hagerstown went to Port Royal for the UFO race instead.

Why is it that you chose to completely overlook everything else and zero in on that one sentence? I can assure Josh didn't win those races solely because he tested at those tracks. They tested down South last year as well and didn't win nearly as much. I know it must bother you that Rocket has a new chassis and it is winning races but sometimes we all have to come to grips with reality.

              That was my point. The top chassis are within a few grand of each other. But if you don't like the one, then that fact goes out the window to some.
              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                But it's Rocket, so it's different, it's boner time.

                    I was thinking the same thing -- I didn't see many.

                    Possibly Hardy, Covert, Friese and Myers would have been there if the uFO hadn't been at Port but none of them (aside from Myers, that is a surprise) are Hagerstown locks even when there are no specials in the area.

                    I was surprised to see both Deese and Fitzgerald at the Winchester opener rather than Hagerstown.

Casebolt looked like he was lost in the parking lot, at least on video.
                        I really don't want to steer the discussion off topic out of respect for whoever started the thread, but I'm always interested in talking about CBR because it seems like the one team that should always be in contention and never is (outside of one good year with O'neal). Doesn't seem to matter who the drivers are or which chassis they are in. I don't understand what the problem is.

                          Absentee celebrity owner 90% of time probably the biggest problem. Want to know how to spent big dollars to get a win? Here is the formula.

                              Don't matter how you want to spin the hate ball what they did in Florida was big for any chassis company. They built a new car and needed to test. So What? No different than any other chassis builder testing with a car that is a 10 year old design. And all of them do. Club 29 made a special trip in December for a week to test in Florida and Georgia. So far there hasn't been many xr1 cars even raced yet because they didn't run the first one until October last year. So if you want to base on the results on what the xr1 has done so far you would have to say it has been more than successful for the little amout of time and the number of new xr1 that have been built. Reading your your posts it is obvious you are a hater. But I don't think Shinnston has a problem.
