i wonder if dean picked up any track prep ideas when he was at eldora running his pie hole about how great his track surface was saturday night, what i seen was the 360's were spinning the tires just like the non wingers do. i guess it all boils down to the almighty dollar. Dean states in his drivers meeting every week about changing tires only in the a mains and when the car hits the hot pit area you have two laps from that exact moment, but i guess if you sponsor the track and give the promoter a mule to drive around you can have as many laps as you want to change tires, add fuel, change the setup midway through the race same crap happened years ago at millstream with this same driver.

I thought the track was pretty damn good Saturday. It was 80+ degrees and sunny with a 30 percent chance of showers or storms. With how fickle Ohio weather can be, a race promoter can make a decision and open the track deep before watering it heavily and take a chance of a brief shower canceling the races, or they can keep it packed tight and have a smooth dry rubber down track that can withstand a 'pop up' shower or storm, and still be ran in and raced on. Unfortunately the wind blew toward the stands and there was dust. Guess what, it's a dirt track. I can't count the times Ive been to Lima, Millstream, Fremont, Attica, even the almighty Eldora and came home covered in dirt because it was so dusty that I couldn't even see the other end of the track.


Let's clarify....if you pull into the hot pit area, you are given at least two laps. If the caution remains out, you can still come out on the track. Once the flagman gives the 'one to go' signal, any car in the hot pit is prohibited from coming back out at that moment. If the caution period lasts longer than 2 laps, or if the caution comes back out then that's bonus time for you to get your car back on the track. It's not favoritism. The flagman cannot give "one to go" if the track is not clear. Dean also says in the drivers meeting to not quit working on the car, because if the caution comes back out, you can return to the race.

It sounds like you may have some issues with the current management. I encourage you to approach Dean, Jane or any of us that work at the track so we can address your concerns.


With that said, I encourage everyone to come out this Saturday to Waynesfield Raceway Park for the return of the Lee's Hydraulic's Non-Wing Sprints, the Ohio Cycleworx 360 Sprints, the Fowler and Hadding Mini Sprints, and the Miracle Motorsports Tuff Trucks. The gates open at 4:00 pm with hot laps at 6:15pm, and the racing starting at 7:00.

"Push"

Maybe you should get your facts straight if the story is told right Andy had more money out than Cub and Mike ever thought about putting out like, why up until about 4 weeks ago did Andy still owned the other set of grand stands that was never payed for till they were coming to tear them down and how about all the stone that Andy footed the bill for in the pits and all the equipment he brought up and payed his guy to run and all the fuel for those machines to move all the dirt that made the pit wider and longer .. Yes Andy left but he told Cub and Mike too he didn't care if it took yrs to pay that back just keep this going, and let see why one good reason Andy left cash box in the concession stand wasn't coming out right and lets see who was running the but Cubs wife hummmmmmmmmmm.....


And lets see dirt work is my line of work and has been for yrs I have been moving dirt before you ever thought about working @ Nationwise think about that
and as for asphalt racing you must not have much sense not to know that asphalt is for getting to the track and dirts for racing I've been around all the dirt tracks since 1970
I have worked for Earl, Dean, Ken Langhals , Bill Paxton

So all I hear from Dean is he is contiguously working on the track well it can't be on prep and the only kinda track Cub know how to do is what you seen last night he couldn't put a good surface on the track if some one came and did it for him maybe Dean should get Dino to do it like he use to do @ millstream yrs ago and maybe Cub should stick to what he knows laying pipe

sheeeesh Jack, doesnt sound like you believe in MIRACLES either.
