Simple solution to all the track problems: Race season should NOT start untill Memorial Day weekend. Problem solved

Yeah, thats why I found her testimony interesting?? Hebing was in front and said basically the same thing Tony said. JZ, however, being right behind him, had a much different story, lol!! Guess the keep quiet money deal is void when your under oath or is she just settling a old score?

Great class!! I wish Outlaw was closer so I could run this division. Hope it works out and other tracks pick on this

Crazy idea but it just may work.

"Douche bumps".... that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!!!!! Thanks for the laugh

I do not understand Vic start-and-parking BUT I dont blame him. He was starting in the rear and probably figured he had no chance. In the end, its his a$$ and equipment so I'm not one to judge. However, with the 2 lucky dogs rule and the track causing a lot of cautions, seems like he could have come up with a strategy to make him a asset to the race; not a wasted starting spot. I say if Vic didnt wanna race, sell your starting spot to someone who did. I have a feeling their were plenty of guys that would have jumped on that.

Sunny, you just turned me into a big Tim Fuller fan!! Not like we all dont have things we would rather not do but we still have to.

I have seen every one of my regular race tracks in the same, if not worse, condition as Oswego was. Its part of the game and if you choose to play, it's not always gonna be on the field you want.

I dont believe the theory of having to be on the lead lap to pit right away under cautions?? Specifically, Billy Dunn and Danny Varin rode around for 2 laps with flats waiting for the pits to "open" and they were both on the lead lap?? 

Andy, they worked the track like mad men every chance they got. Whether you loved or hated the actual race,  NO ONE CAN SAY THEY DIDNT TRY!! THey had several tractors, packers, and rollers. Most of the time, all of them were going at once. Whether their efforts were successful or not depends on your perspective but they were trying. It reminded me of Boone with the amount of "farming" they were doing but it was clear the problem was deeper.... literally

I was only there for sunday so I didnt see Haers (except the beginning of the 200) but Stew was brushing the wall plenty on sunday. TMac pounded the RR of his sheetmetal into submission against it. I saw plenty of 3 wide racing during the 200, even 4 wide for a moment or 2.  Maybe I liked it cause I wasnt there all week? By the time the 200 was over, I had had enough and headed home. If you added the frustration of the previous days onto that, I may have been more upset than entertained.

I do have a question for people more familiar with pit stop races (this is the first one I ever attended). What is the deal with the "pits being open or closed"?? Their were a few guys with flats or damage riding around for a lap or 2 waiting for the pits to open while a few guys like AJ and Sheppard came in and out whenever they felt like it? No one was ever penalized for coming in early. In fact, late in the race, Sheppard actually gained a bunch of positions by pitting before everyone who was waiting for the pits to open. Since he had more time, he got his service and beat them out

So for regular spectator parking, the options are pay $50 for a reserved spot or park a few miles away in town and ride a bus to the speedway? Probably no need to bring the 4wd then?
