Anyone watch the new Bowman Gray reboot? I liked the first episode. Anytime you can watch modifieds on TV, in any capacity, it's a win.
-
Yes very good show I liked the sound effects.
-
I watched; thought it was very good. I would like to be the authorized Troyer distributor there!
-
no more junior #69. I still love the orange cone option that should be explored by tracks here
-
The cone is a great add to the races. It's done weekly out here
-
We used the cone at Shangri La 2 quite a few times. I know the kid in the 71 mod wasn’t afraid to go to the outside.
-
Loved it great show love the mods
-
Glad the show is back...if you haven’t been to the stadium,put it on your bucket list. Very well promoted and usually 12k or more in attendance. $10 admission for a well promoted program..
-
question why does it work so well down there and not up here? They race for peanuts, equipment cost is the same

it because they have the orange cone.

Good Citizens of RaceNY…
I watched the first episode on Spectrum on demand last night. For me, it was a good reminder of why I don't watch Formula 1 races.
Warning!!!!! Spoiler Alert!!!! Here are Ratzso's race in six Roman Numeral points in case you haven't seen it and want to spend time doing something productive like macaroni art or watching crews unload trucks at Wegmans or Tops Market.
I won't waste my time on any future episodes....
I) Dude named Burt drives car #1 (The fans go wild!)
II) Burt qualifies on the pole for the 200 lap race. (The fans go wild!)
III) Burt's car is wide and the track is narrow, so no one can pass Burt. (The fans go wild!)
IV) Burt leads all 200 laps in a single file snooze fest and wins the race. (The fans go wild!)
V) In Victory Circle, Burt said he will put on a new back bumper and return next week for another thrilling race! (The fans go wild!)
VI) The Fans go Wild...….
That's all I got...

I watched the show unlike NASCAR Monster Cup Energy Sprint. I never watch that. Anyway Rathole pretty much summed it up. The tense music and serious commentary caused me to get too excited and I had to go outside for a while after urinating all over myself. The biggest take away I had for the show is that the #4 driver has about a 93% chance of lung cancer within the next 4 years. Also with 12K in attendance the over/under on teeth in attendance was about 24K. I can understand why they have such a big crowd. They can only sodomize each other so many times on Saturday nights until it becomes monotonous and they go down to the track for a change-of-pace. Will watch again - but outside.
-
This year they added 15k towards the purse and other incentives for the drivers.They also lowered pit passes over the last few years and also cut tire costs..The reason they get fans is because they haven’t raised ticket prices in over two decades,a lot of entertainment for $10..This unlike tracks here,who have raised ticket prices to where people don’t come (not worth the price of entertainment) have raised back gate prices and have stepped on tire prices to where the racers go broke and quit.. PS Go on one of the ladies nite races,you won’t be disappointed 👍

HOW MUCH ARE PIT PASSES THERE?

Rude, crude, and not funny in the least.........kt

My "problem" with the Madhouse is like my issue with most other movies about "stockcar " racing is that it plays into
the very stereotype that KT finds offensive from Gaggles. To the unwashed that's how they see our favorite sport and that is unfortunate.
We can't get a decent same day coverage of Mods anymore so we can't "sell it" to those that have never been exposed. Sorry ..tape delay,
over edited and over commercialized coverage leaves it far short IMHO. Madhouse is to Mod racing as Slapshot was to hockey.
-
I agree with KT and that is that Googles & Ratso whoever these jerks really are contribute nothing positive to raceny!
-
i don,t agree...ratzo and googles have interesting opinionss that i find humous. their take on things is just asimportant as ours. i enjoy thier comments,, don't ever let your opinion of yourself get larger than reality.... ratzo..googles,, keep us all informed,,,,, thanks :) ;) ;D ;D :-*

Hmmm...crickets from Ratzso & the Pissant for over 12 hours. What up with that??

I don't have any problem with the Rat man or Goggles either for that matter. I normally find their stuff humorous. Just thought the bit about few teeth and sodomy were over the top........I didn't see the show so maybe I'm missing something here.............carry on

I am fine with Goggles and Ratzso.

The stadium definitely has the hottest chics out of any of the over 30 speedways that I’ve been to..

Kenny - I'm not trying to be a dick. But what is good about that show? That show makes everybody involved with modified racing look like *****. The racing is highly technical and they make all of us (yes I raced and my Dad worked on cars for years) look like toothless losers. Also look at the fan shots they take. People flipping off the drivers, looking like complete hicks. I don't get it. I think that show is 100% trying to make racers and and fans look like dumbos.

I have to confess that I can be very mordant and sarcastic when attempting to interject humor related to racing events and subjects listed on RaceNY. I would like to apologize to anyone that I have offended.
I need to be more sensitive to the larger audience and try to maintain a level of civility. To that point, I have put together a more socially correct version of my previous posting. I hope this will meet acceptance and help maintain tranquility on this great racing forum.
Sincerely,

Revised Edition -November 5, 2018
Forum members: I watched the first episode of the new Bowman Gray Stadium race show last evening after a busy day.
Here are my race in six points in case you have been busy with Fall chores and haven't had time to see it. I will certainly be tuned in next week to see what happens!
1) Burt Myers is the 2017 track champ and drives car #1. He is very good racecar driver and is well liked, except by Tim.
2) Burt turned the fast lap and qualified on the pole for the 200 lap race. His car is very fast.
3) Burt was able to stay in the lead despite serious challenges from the rest of the field of great cars and drivers.
4) Burt lead all 200 laps and was able to win the race. No one was able to pass Burt.
5) In Victory Circle, Burt thanked his pit crew for giving him a great racecar. He seems like a nice person.
6) The packed crowd stood and cheered loudly for Burt and other drivers.
Very Truly Yours,
J. Langford Ratzso

I found that the show is promoted like Pro Wrestling or Roller Derby. I do have to say that when I was a kid at Spencer or Oswego there were good guys and bad guys, heroes and villians. There was always a rivalry. Example: HEROS- Tom Leason (Snoopy Car), Don Whalen (The Candy Man), Dick Kluth ( Just never won). Richie Evans (Rapid Roman).
Villians- Gooff Bodine, Maynard Troyer(Sorry KT), The Triechlers.
The cars were all different and had style and personality. I think Most Villians were disliked due to winning all the time and some creative use of the chrome horn or they were just invaders. People want to see a confrontation,(fights in Hockey). Every one goes to Bowman Gray the following week to see some payback or retaliation. Also, That track is so small and tight that most times the only way to pass is with the bumper. Don't you think people want to go back the next week after a ramming fest after the checker flag. It seems to happen every week and that is how the show is promoted. Don't you want a front row seat when MTJ Dumps Lagano and crushes his hopes to be the champion?

I liked the original Madhouse on the History Channel, it was interesting and fun to watch. But I think over time the fun turned into the monotony of faux disputes and drama. It was a circus, like you're watching old episodes of Championship Wrestling or WWF or something.
Hey, Bowman packed the stands and benefited from the publicity but I have a tendency to agree it wasn't great publicity for the sport. One video posted here from 2010 had fans leaving their seats to jump on-track for a fight between drivers...police too jumped in and it was a melee. And from what I've read...this happens on a weekly basis at Bowman even now. Up north we learned a difficult lesson not too long ago about this type of confrontational manner in racing...
I hope the revival of Madhouse is an entertaining series about racing and cuts the BS out.
From 2018:
Several officers were assisting driver Blake Walker out of his race car when another driver intentionally rammed the disabled race car, causing the disabled car to strike Walker, according to the statement. The driver, whom police did not name, then spun his vehicle in a reckless manner around the disabled car, placing the officers, Walker and race personnel in its path, police said.

The point of showing that was exactly what? Most everybody here knows the deal down there. I'm not picking on B/G specifically as some version of this goes on all over the country to some extent. I was watching vids from Franklin County Speedway the other night which seemed like B/G lite.
I'm tempted to say it's a southern thing but it's not. Happens here too as we have our share bad actors as well but to glorify it or dignify enough to feature it on a TV network really bothers me. Not much different than American Chopper and the real life (fake) feud between
father and son Tuttle. There is a market for this crap I guess........not me. Plane crashes draw crowds too. :-\
-
I agree with uticamike on this one. As a former tech inspector on the nascar modifed tour I don't think this does justice to the modifieds. This is street stock stuff

The tense music and serious commentary caused me to get too excited and I had to go outside for a while after urinating all over myself.

They can only sodomize each other so many times on Saturday nights until it becomes monotonous and they go down to the track for a change-of-pace. Will watch again - but outside.
I will also make a sincere effort to clean up my original post. Here goes:
I normally will bypass the NASCAR television product known as Monster Cup. Mr Ratszo did a wonderful job summing up the television program. The excitement presented on the television show was accentuated by lively commentary and invigorating music. The combination caused me to have an unwanted, uncontrolled bladder discharge that resulted in quite a mess. At this point I went out-of-doors. I noticed that the driver of the number 4 automobile seemed to have a continuous nicotine intake. The fella may fall to some form of cancer soon - most likely lung cancer. Oral hygiene is lacking in the Winston-Salem metropolitan area. Most fans displayed on the television program are in need of dental care to repair and/or replace missing teeth. The attendance at the Bowman-Gray stadium is impressive to say-the-least. Sexual assault is illegal. Therefore the population in the Winston-Salem area seek alternative forms of entertainment such as NASCAR Modified auto racing at the "Madhouse". I will watch again but not inside my home.

:P Whoa is me. What has happened to "my" RaceNY? The end is near.
Oh,... in deference to those who are clinically insane ( or mad as they used to say) I think future references to said racing plant
should be expressed as Angryhouse as we go forward. Sensibilities don't you know.
-
Greetings and salutations to all on RaceNY. I hope that everyone is having a marvelous day. I want to commend Mr. Pissano for posting an edited version of his previous post regarding Bowman Gray and going forward I see him as a valuable asset to our racing forum. Our screen profiles have never met, but he sounds like a stand up guy and someone that I would enjoy hanging out with at the Mall or a fast food restaurant.
But enough with the accolades, I wanted to let everyone know that I tuned in last evening and watched the second television episode of Race Night at Bowman Gray. I found the program to be very educational and informative. It was twin 25 lap feature races for the evening with time trials to set the field for the first feature. The starting field for the second feature would be determined by the winner of the first feature reaching into a bag that had eight balls with even numbers: 8, 464, 82, 124, 360, 44, 234 and 102. I'm uncertain of the algorithm that was used once the number was drawn but the fans cheered when it was drawn.
The main characters in the plot were Tim, formidable competitor to the brothers, Burt and Jason Myers. The minor characters were the fine fans attending the race, the crewmen for the race teams and Tim's doctor.
The show began with Tim in his doctor's office holding the steering wheel of his car, showing the doctor what happened in the previous week's race when his car had a collision with the outside barrier. Tim's doctor was very good at listening, keeping a straight face and acting normal while Tim used the unattached steering wheel to reenact the crash. The doctor then gave Tim the bad news. His thumb was injured and would need to be fixed. Tim would not be able to use his thumb to hitchhike, give the thumbs up signal, twiddle his thumbs, nor would Tim be able sit around with his thumb up his a#%. Tim was very sad. Tim then asked about driving a racecar? The doctor said that wouldn't be a problem and he gave Tim a $2.98 brace for his hand and told Tim to go out and beat the Myers boys and win a race for the Gipper. Tim did not know who the Gipper was, but he was very happy.
Meanwhile, Jason Myers explained that he was frustrated and wanted to win a race. He said he put all of his money in his racecar which was evident as he apparently couldn't afford shoes as he was wearing flip-flops while using his feet to hold some material on the shop floor while he drilled a hole in it. Jason also explained stagger in a racecar and used a great relatable example, "If you've ever dropped a beer keg at a keg party and watched it roll, you've seen an example of stagger." I'm still somewhat uncertain if he was talking about the rolling motion of the keg or the stagger of the participants at the keg party, but it was a great example nonetheless.
Burt Myers won the first race and Jason Myers won the second race. Tim was very sad, called a Uber and went home.
The fans took time to use their fingers to salute many of the drivers, before, during and at the end of the race.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Langford Ratzso

A very fine race show report there Ratrod. One small correction however. Rectum doesn't have the pound (#) symbol in it's correct spelling. :D
( I'm almost certain of that)
-
Those of you that have never been to Bowman Gray Stadium really shouldn't speak of what you don't know. The fans have been allowed to have rivalries since the place has opened. Look at an NFL game for example. How many signs do you see? Same with BG. How many shirts with their favorite team do you see? Same with BG, if you go in the pits you will see the drivers displaying their shirts and wares for sale. Hell we don't even have a photo booth at the tracks here anymore. Only one small trailer to sell goods. BG fans know personally and love their favorite teams. There is no catch fence on the front or backstretch. It makes for an exciting, close as you can get, fan experience. Definitely verbal and physical gestures come from all fans. That's the excitement of it. It's Jimmy vs Tony with a little Noe on steroids. Go for your yourselves, you won't be disappointed.
-
"That's the excitement of it. It's Jimmy vs Tony with a little Noe on steroids. Go for your yourselves, you won't be disappointed. "
Thanks for the enticing offer but Candor and Owego are a lot closer than Winston-Salem if I was looking for that kind of "fun".
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Bowman Gray is the best $10 entertainment value you will find anywhere. The racing is okay but the entire show (racers, fans, etc.) makes for one hell of an evening. I try to get there every two years or so for one of the Twin 50 nights for the mighty modifieds.
-
I agree with LMR and Fred...I think a lot of people fail to realize that the show has DRAMA built into each episode,that’s called reality TV..Face it car racing is boring to the average person and sometimes it’s a bore to people who have been involved for awhile. If it wasn’t for the Drama it would just be another race.The support classes at BGS are full and usually provide good racing,plus no boring heat races either.(it really sucks watching six car heat races) Also having a packed grandstand week after week is impressive and something all promotors should take notice of..and last the quality and appearance of the crowd AT BGS really??
...hmmm have ya ever been to Spencer’s?? 😀

I agree with your sentiments, and what I thinks it all comes down to, is regional tastes and preferences. It appears that in the southeast United States, automobile racing is still a sport that the people enjoy, so it thrives. Look at the number of ovals and drag strips that still operate, compared to how they've died out in this area. But do they have as many "east end festivals", "St. Patrick's Day Parades" and "fringe festivals" as there are in western NY? I don't think so, but 50-60 years ago, there were 12-14 operating oval tracks, as well as 4-5 operating drag strips in this area, indicating that times, or should I say people, have changed.
And with respect to Spencer's, when I was a teen-ager, back in the mid-late 60s, if you weren't in the stands by at least an hour before the races officially started, you sat way down in the first 3-4 rows of the stands, and watched the races by looking through the legs of the people walking back and forth to the concession stands. The crowds started tapering off in the late 70s-early 80s, and haven't come back...
-
I think it would be cool to talk about some of our areas greatest rivalrys like Matt vs.Chuck etc.You get the idea.
-
What is the regular program like on a Saturday night? What are the support classes? No heats? How do they set the Mod feature line up? It amazes me the amount of people on this site that state that they don't like watching support classes or there are to many races and classes. I love watching any races that are close and have multiple lead changes. I always thought the mini stocks at Outlaw put on a great show. That goes for the street stocks as well, they are very fast with multiple winners in a season. The racing I don't like is on a DRY SLICK track where it takes 5 laps to make a pass and the leader laps the last car by lap 10.
-
They have four classes.. Mods and three classes of stock cars..The support classes put on a good show and they have full fields..Mods time trial weekly, support classes draw..Usually one of the classes will run two features..they definitely put an emphasis on promoting their sponsors.

Well, I watched a couple of episodes of the latest rendition of 'Madhouse', yesterday, using the "on demand" feature provided by my cable TV provider. It was rather cold and damp outside, and I didn't feel like leaving the house. The show wasn't as hokey as the original show was, at least in my opinion, but one thing still stands out to me. And that is, how do you race "full tilt modifieds" on a quarter mile track, and furthermore, how can those guys afford to tear up the cars, like they invariably do, and fix them every week, just to go out and tear them up, yet again??
-
Like I said before, this show needs to create DRAMA, as racing is kinda a boring sport to the average person. At a race this past July I watched two of the support divisions run two caution free features,and one was the late models.BTW, the mods run ten inch tires on the narrow track. If you notice the footage of the wrecks, are played multiple times.. people like DRAMA..
-
:o :o as racing is kinda a boring sport to the average person. :o :o :o So is golf , lawn bowling, skeet shooting, and curling.
Those of us that are above average like racing for the racing and not the manufactured "drama" of the so called Madhouse.
Stick swing brawls at Sabres games might add drama as well. Anybody wanna go there?
-
Awww Utica, you know what I mean.We(as people involved with the sport)like racing for what it is of course, but ask most people and they will tell you watching cars go around in circles is BORING rite? Without DRAMA there wouldn’t be a program about our beloved modifieds on TV rite?? Obviously they are doing something right as they get 10k plus on a weekly basis compared to a couple hundred people at tracks here.. I know you dislike Oswego, BGS and now Wall, but it’s better than watching a six car heat races and 14 car features with no people in the stands BORING..

Saw your other post, too, and don't understand what problem you're having with Spectrum. Yes, I have Spectrum, too, as a cable TV and internet provider, and while I'm not totally overjoyed with them, I haven't had any major issues with them, either. I don't understand your need for a password, in order to watch the Bowman-Gray "soap opera". For me, at least last week, all I did was go to the "on demand" feature, then bring up Madhouse, or whatever they're calling it this year, click on it, and watch it.
-
Why a user ID I don't have that last episode I thought was real good alot of side by side racing.
-
…..BTW, the mods run ten inch tires on the narrow track.
I watched another episode, and did take note of the narrower tires. And that brings up what I find to be an interesting observation. You're on a quarter mile "bullring" (LITERALLY!) on 10" tires, and have mega-dollar engines? With that little amount of "rubber on the road", I would think that a $5000 crate motor would be adequate.
And those "mega dollar", 18 wheel rigs that the Meyers brothers and Tim Brown show up with....WOW!!
-
What is the purse structure? I sense very low
-
The race in July paid $1850 $575 for tenth $340 start.. they pay a lot of contingencies..The (5)hundred lap races were part of the 15k fan challenge.. they lowered the prices on the F15 tires this year. In today’s asphalt racing if you can pay your tire bill finishing in the top ten,your racing at the rite track.
-
They had a 3000$ bonus for the top 4 in time trials if they started last and finished in the top 4 the 22 was there but blew a motor in the last 20 laps.
-
The #22 is that Chuck Hossfild?
-
The #22 is that Chuck Hossfild?
No

Jonathan "Jon Boy" Brown is in the 22

More good news for BGS... City council approved a $9 million renovation plan for the stadium..looks like a total revamp of an aging infrastructure..renovations will take place over 3years and will have no interruptions to football or racing..

Good citizens of Racing New York,
I bring you tidings of great joy. It has been a busy time of the year as I got caught up watching the Holiday Baking Championships on the Food Network. Lot of flour flying and tensions were high. Some of the best, good hard bake-offs I have ever seen. Anyone else find themselves getting addicted to reality shows like this?
I was finally able to use my Super Awesome on-demand feature (no password required, Pissano!) from my cable provider and watch the latest episode of "As the Madhouse Turns." I think Bikerboy said it best, "..the way them Myers' boys handle them mods is amazing." That's a hint if you're not a fan of them Myers' boys, you ain't gonna' enjoy this latest chapter at Bowman Gray. The Myers' and their bête noire, Tim, play it up for the fans and the folks doing the filming but with no room to pass, Tim doesn't get to park in victory lane and continues to have anger issues. But in case you wondered, his thumb is better.
Which brings me to my observation and opinion that it appears the troika are the only cars capable of actually winning and the rest are basically chopped liver field fillers. I was also surprised that it was a 100 lap race and there were only 17 cars that started? 17 cars? Really?
The race itself was actually pretty good. Neat part was the camera work which shows the sparks coming off the front calipers as the racing drivers apply pressure to the brake pedal and those racin' calipers clamp on those huge rotors. Never saw this before.
I was disappointed as I heard the Myers' sister, Connie Myer, would be making an appearance in one of these shows, but I didn't see her. Maybe next time....
That's all I got...
Respectfully,
J. Langford Ratzaman

I have henceforth and herto forward resolved said password problem. I watched the latest stanza of Race Night at Bowman Gray and once again soiled myself. The lad from the north with the III after his name seems to sweat an awful lot. I wonder if I and II also sweat a lot and it just runs in the family. He also seems to be earmarked as the out-of-control driver. A madman. Practicing did not seem to help. Perhaps it's mental and I and II also crashed often. This weeks episode seemed to inmate that he was retiring. Perhaps there is a IV in the shadows ready to take over. I astutely have noticed that if one of the Brown's or Myers' start in the top 4 then the fat lady will be singing on the pace lap. Very exciting. Rathole pretty much summed up what I was going to say except for the cake baking thing. I prefer the show about the forging of killing devices from parts off a 76 Laguna and the one where they kick the contestant off the show who can't make a steak out of jelly beans and lightbulbs.

If you have the Spectrum provided remote controller, there's a white colored button in the middle of it. This is labeled as the "on demand" button. Press it, and it takes you to channel 1000, the "on demand" channel.

I agree. Motortrend is the former Velocity Channel. I just watched episode 7. This is really good show. I'm eating some crow and rooting for GB3 and the future lung cancer patients of Greater Winston-Salem.
