Most of the drivers down south piss and moan if you try to get them to do anything but qualify and run. I was just making an observation about Boyd's the one time I've been. It was a Lucad Oil event. Don't matter if it's a track in the north or south it would have been the same format. Madden was in a league of his own that night. No one had anything for him so had to watch the race for 2nd on back.

    Pure weekly racing shows though, like I said, no argument from me there. Your average weekly show up North is usually 10 times better than one down here. I usually attend weekly shows at Dixie speedway down here as they at least run heats in Crates and limiteds. They do qualify the Supers but invert up to the top 6.
    sorry man, wasn't picking on you specifically. just the thought process of most southern fans and their idea of "racing".

      I don't know about how they line up but I do know that I've seen a lor of races up north that would of been a rain out down south like I said you better start working your track and find your water truck because the fans have watched about all the one lane races they are going too.

          I lived down there for 15 years and went to a ton of DLM/Crate/Modified shows that all start heads up. if'n anyone of you "racing fans" ever came north and watched a weekly show you'd crap yourselves!!! no time trials. points leader can't start better than 10th - 12th and usually finishes in the top 2/3 with lots of them winning....oh, and the races are 25 - 30 laps.

          I don't, but did, go to races to watch guys battle for 7th and 8th. I wannna see the best guys at the track PASS cars to get to the front.

          Now, I'm back up here and get to see RACING. Y'all enjoy that fastest guy deserves the to be at the crap!
          Yeah but when the race is over you still live in hell with no sweet tea to be found. I've been to shows in pretty much every region except west coast. I like my racing down here just fine.......y'all.

            Ten, fifteen years ago, yeah, we got sweet tea now.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              No sir, you don't. You have some swill under the guise of sweet tea. I've been in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in the last month and a half. It's tea, I guess, but it ain't sweet.

                I love all the improvements made to Boyd's speedway. Great job. As nice a dirt track as there are. And I get the business end of not losing money every week. But why keep spending money and then complain about losing money?? How about getting the cars and fans there and doing more improvements along the way. Don't tell drivers about how bad your losing while we look around and your still spending on things that are extras and not necessities. Just my 2 cents worth. Not trying to bash anyone just tossing out ideas.

                    I'm in Ohio, and if we are seriously going to argue over tea with more sugar than another in it, by all means, you win. I like sweet tea, but it is nothing more than tea and a sh!t load of sugar. Sweet tea made with real tea is way better than McD's swill for sure, but just as unhealthy. Though yeah I like it.

                      Settle, I was just messing around. Nothing good to be had under the Golden Arches. Just mistakes I don't digest as easy as I used to.
