The obvious choice for NASCAR should have been Eldora.

So who watched the race "from" Texas, and what are your thoughts?  I missed the 1st one they has last week, but actually enjoyed the one yesterday.  I like that it wasn't as long as a real race, and also hearing some not as familiar names in the line up.   Good job to Timmy Hill!

I agree with you, leadfoot.  It makes a HUGE difference in how one drives if you have no $ invested.

It's a neat little track. Been going there since 2001 w/the Legends car.  Glad to see improvements are being made and that it's still thriving.

Well I guess nobody knows (or cares?) why the car that finished 2nd on the track was DQed....crickets.

I called the track.  They were somewhat noncommittal, saying that they planned to do everything possible to get the show in Sat.  But when I said, well, why not Sunday, if the Sat. weather turns to chit, they did say that Sunday would be the most obvious choice.  So, I think that's the most "committment" they'll give at this point, but my feeling is they'll use Sunday if they have to.

I hate to mention the r-work, but forecast for Sat. is not sounding great. Is there already an established rain date, if Sat. is a washout?  Next day (Sunday)?

Yeah...the announcer kept saying the rain delayed the start.  Did he mean the rain that ended 4 hrs. before the scheduled start? They must think we're all stupid to say that.
 There was no reason, other than poor time management, that the racing couldn't have started at 6:30. Yes...once they got going, there were no breaks (a good thing), but they still started an hour late!

I wish it well, as I made some great friends and memories during the 2001 season. I was there every Friday night and have been back a few times since.  New asphalt in the pits...WOW!  I needed that!

I met him in 1967, when I was 15 and building a model of his #33 car.  Over the years I'd run into him now and then and he always remembered my name.  He was a great guy abd will be missed, Condolences to Tim and family.

Racing was good and the facility overall was nice, but 2 comments: 1) The seats "are what they are", but what they are is narrow.  Good luck if you end up sitting next to anyone even close to 200 lbs.  You will be very crowded, and 2)  Concessions were a nightmare.  Not enough of them and very long lines.  Food was just OK, and (of course....it's in a NYS bldg.) on the pricey side. That said, I'll go back if they have it next year.

...and this is not in the classifieds, why??

I called late last week, Joe, and was told, "soon."  Just keep checking the website, I guess.
