Racing Discussion / Pit Steward
« on: 15 May, 2016 11:19 »
Is the pit steward's job to be a liason between the track and the teams?? Is it appropriate for a pit steward to yell at, ignore, or just generally talk down to team reps??

Racing Discussion / Pull in the yellow???
« on: 07 Sep, 2015 16:13 »
You guys ever see or hear of a track throwing the yellow and then pulling it in?? Happened Saturday around the 17th lap car spins and is sitting on the track in the groove, yellow lights come on, starter flashes the yellow flag and pulls it in, some guys slowing some guys not, next time around the 2 go signal is shown and car still sitting in the track, nobody knows anything, drivers, crew,or fans, it was melee in the pits afterwards as a result with guys complaining and officials at first acting like nothing happened, then acting like only one team had any issue  with it, then after many more teams questioned it the track just paid everyone where they where on the 17th lap. Someone can get killed with these bonehead moves. I just wish one hand knew what the other was doing. All persons need to be able to call yellow, nobody should need to get permission, and this lets wait and see if he moves thing is getting old, I mean the field was strung out its not like the pack was bunched up and this happened at the tail of the field.

At the tracks I have been to this season a great area of debate has been treatment, or lack there of, cars in support classes that exit the racing surface during the race to change a tire etc, etc. It is different for everyone and everywhere but I for one would actually be in favor of a rule stating if you leave the racing surface you cannot return. It is harsh, but it is easily understood, easily enforced, and the same for everyone, sure would shake up points battles and force teams and drivers to have all there ducks in a row and the be on their best behavior.

Racing Discussion / I can't help but think...

That the lack of winter like weather this year is going to catch up with us right about the time we are all itching to get to and/or on the tracks. Hope I am wrong.

Racing Discussion / Raceway5 rules updates????
« on: 07 Dec, 2011 07:09 »
Looks like it is going to be a stellar year for Raceway5 in 2012, is there a target date for the finalized rulebook?? I have seen some rule updates so far, but what about other classes??

I heard that the Sportsman are going to be all crate, if that is true that is great news and sure to attract a team or two and simplify matters in the tech area as well.

On DTD and Facebook that Cayuga County Fair Speedway has been closed due to a conflict between the Kingsley's and WRG. Look for a press release very soon.

Racing Discussion / When does it raise an eyebrow??
« on: 03 Jul, 2011 10:15 »
Would a racer winning 6 races in a row, at 3 different tracks, AND their laptimes are sometimes .4-.5 tenths faster than the field, be cause for a thorough investigation of the complete car and engine?? FYI this is in a crate motor class with said car starting as far back as 17th.

I know some will say do you homework and catch them. Well many are and everyone elses laptimes are very comparable.

Racing Discussion / Raceway5
« on: 26 Jun, 2011 17:29 »
With CMP rained out I ventured over to Raceway5. I saw that some others had the same idea as Justin Wright was there, as was the Mrzywka team. Both of these invading teams where fast with Wright winning a heat, and Mrzywka's 04 absolutely running away with the show. It was obvious in the closing laps something broke on the 04 as it clearly was not the same over the last few laps. This allowed Bliss to get past. The track was super tacky and very rough wich is what would appear to have led to the 04's demise. The track crew did try and improve the surface but the humidity and the moisture already present did not help matters much. At least the show got in, some racing is better than none any way you look at it. If they can keep the track that tacky AND get it smooth, there will be some spectacular racing there.

Racing Discussion / Am I the only one????

That really enjoyed seeing the smoke pouring out the 48 last night. I also thought it was kinda cool when the 88 ran out of gas. I can't be the only one that these events brought a smile too ??

Racing Discussion / Mrzywka wins Fulton.
« on: 22 May, 2011 00:43 »
I just saw in the results on the other site that Greg Mryzwka won at Fulton. Now I see why they where not at Raceway5. With Raceway5/Genesse closed last season they raced at Weedsport and ended up in the top 5 in points. I think this team would be a threat for the Raceway5 title, anyone know if they going to be there??

Racing Discussion / Can't Believe...

Nobody on this board is saying anything about Brewerton, Fulton, and Can-Am, dropping the DIRT sanction.
