Millbridge question?

[CIRF]

I'm an idiot for bothering to continue to respond with logic but here goes anyway. Whether you're impressed with the cars or not is a matter of personal preference and justified. It's a whole other display of either ignorance or convenient selective bias to say the racing in the video of Eldora isn't exciting and a breathtaking display of driving skill, talent and testicular dimensions. Your sincerity further comes into question due to the fact that your hanging out in a section that is dedicated to a form of racing that you claim is not worthy of your attention. Kinda' odd, don't you think?

From you as a competitor what is, in you opinion, the problem with the clay composition that works against good racing in the area you speak of? It seems that some Georgia and most Florida tracks are conducive to good racing whether it be fendered or open wheel cars.The mystery to me is how anyone could watch the Four Crown Eldora video and say with sincerity that the racing that took place was not good. It's one thing to not be particularly interested in the drivers or even the cars. The truth is, that is undeniably some good stuff!

I think it has to do with the amount of sand in the dirt. They call it 'clay' (and there are places that have clay), but most of the tracks around here are not clay. It is really crazy how dusty the tracks can get and still have moisture, red 'fog' into the stands. As you get up into Virginia or over to Tn the soil changes. Wythe is less than two hours away and one of the best surfaces you will see. The other part is the shows tend to be practice, qualify, and feature (heads up starts). Wonder why its a train race with that format?Watch Blaney testing a 410 at Wythe if you get a chance (youtube), that racetrack is one of the best in the country (and it is a half mile...).

Hmmm. As a fan I enjoy Winged Sprint cars. I think I made that clear. The purpose of the thread was to see what future may bring to Millbridge.

Thanks a bunch for the clarifications. I take much more stock in information coming from a guy that actually straps his ass into a racecar than I do even my own bleacher jockey opinion.

I'll take a look at the video you reference. Is Wythe a true half mile? If it is it's an endangered species. True half miles are becoming fewer and farther between.

Good luck this season and all your future seasons, Evel! I'll be watching all the Bristol dirt activities so let us know which car to look for!!

No problem, and trust me, I put no more stock into my views than others-but do enjoy the banter back and forth. As for Wythe, it is very close to true half mile for sure-big banking and wide. Barring I do not get canned before Bristol I will be in the black 7 car (yellow numbers) in 604 crate (actually it may have to be m7).

I will be looking for you. Are you running Carolina speedway next week by chance?

[EvelB7]

Never know for sure, I do fill in for a friend of mine in the Blue Ridge occasionally but think he is all set for next weekend. I think it will be a good show (minus the dust).

[Rajflyboy]

I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully we have good weather.

Since this is a Millbridge page, Ty Gibbs got his first ever win in the box stock class at Millbridge. Kicked their a@# on the road course at Daytona yesterday!

Ok. I will give you a pass for posting this 😜😂

I do like the improvements to the pits and facility. This place is a mini Taj Mahal now for these youngsters to run on. I love this track and it’s growth over the years. Can we get some mini late models or mods? Some full body stuff occasionally?

[EvelB7]

They have ran mini late models in the past (converted the old Arena Cars with late model looking bodies). I think the problem with them was they were not the right car, maybe something like the Sharp mini late models would do a little better (problem is, they are not cheap).

Carolina Sprint Tour 305’s 😁👍

[EvelB7]

Flyboy, you obviously have never actually been to Millbridge. It is not even remotely capable of racing full size cars on it, let alone Sprint Cars. Great little track, midgets are barely able to make it work-cool for a unique venue once in a while. I have watched Hoffman test his modified, only car on the track and it uses it up from top to bottom. You could barely push off a full size sprinter on the track let alone do multiples.
