ok i for one was down at waynesfield last night and the track was complete crap theres just no other way to put it. i do like waynesfield and all but last night was horrible. plus dean wouldnt have to worry about pleasing the stock car guys and the truck guys if he would have just let the 360's run with the all stars but nope cant do that cuz that takes a little more money. lmao they throw the 360 sprints off the schedule because they dont have the car counts they had 15 at the last show they ran there and then dean decides to throw the trucks and stocks on the schedule for last night and he gets a huge field of 18 a piece great job dean i mean that really helped you a lot. i wouldnt be surprised if next year the all stars dont run waynesfield in the speedweek and truthfully i wouldnt blame them at all cuz last night was horrible. as for the people that keep saying have more late model shows if the late models were to run on a track like that last night they wouldnt come back either. plus late models are ok to watch as long as sprints are running that same night also.

I say leave the calls to Dean and WRP. The track was still fast come feature time. and from what ive heard and seen(i dont go every week, but most), the track ruts up in hotlaps every week. Then it is back to a good surface after the heats.

why run the 360 with all stars? they ran 305 at millstream and they had a later night than wmp.I think they should of ran mods and trucks just for simple fact they get more cars in them classes and dont have to pay them like u do the 360's. but dean is promoter and does what dean thinks is best. his 1st late show all year and im sure he feels bad enough about track, but im sure he learned alot about the dirt at the field this week. its hard to get it perfect, im sure he watered it alot this week cause of the high temps. so im sure he know how much water that track can hold in the high heat now. and the late models are use to rough tracks look at www.drc.net and watch most of the late model shows on there and u will see rough tracks on there every week. so keep up good work dean, dont let 1 bad night get u down.

Uh, no they weren't later than the field. 12:35ish was the ending time at findlay when ALL the races were completed. I got a call from a friend under yellow in the stock A, to tell me his "uncompetitive" brother was fifth in the feature so far....which was then showing a flat right rear with 3 to go. The time? 12:54am. Oh wait, you want to officiate the ending time by the time the headlining division was over? Fine....midnight.

But that also negates all of the gripes about the stock cars and trucks getting shuffled last. Sorry guys, the show has to be run to get the headliners done, and get them out of the gates and home as early as possible. The support divisions are just that, second fiddle. Don't like it? Not sure what to tell you. Some years ago the track was **** for an all star race....I was in the first heat, which rolled onto the track at 1:20am. I don't even remember what time the feature was done, but we had a lengthy delay for a sprint trailer stuck on the banks exiting. It was light out when I got home. Did it suck? Sure did....did I bitch? Nah.....part of being the support gang.

ok sure, my point is if u add 15 to 30 more cprints that have to be pushed to start everytime they start, it would take a lot longer to get the whole show in. I wasnt at the race for the all stars but did go to bed after the a main on dirtcastlive and it was late but people was whinning about millstream too. cant please no one any where so we might as well close all the tracks down like new breman. and we could all go fishing on weekends, but im sure everyone would whine about fishing being rough water lol

I am just wondering if anyone had a stopwatch on Stevie Smith during the feature? I will bet that some of his lap times were in the 9.? second range. Pretty amazing how Smith ran that fast on such a "bad track." And when you were watching that horrible feature, I hope you noticed how tuff a time Blaney was having in that "ruff plowed field." After he gained 15 positions, I couldn't help but think "the cream always rises to the top." Blaney started 23rd and finished 8th!! Maybe he would have liked it better if the track was dry/slick. Then he could have maybe passed 3 or 4 cars. I've always thought racing had something to do with going fast. Those guys really went fast on that bad track last night. What was I thinking while going to races for over 30 years?

You kenny thats just two guys who are racers and know how to read a track and get around it. Every track has had their bad days and even the best will have another. So just get over it . There are some who when their car gets beat its the track. Then when they win its all smiles and jump in on the picture taking. Eldora sure has had their bad days to.

OK my thoughts. Thanks Dean for adding us to the schedule for such a big event! Yea it was a late night but we will take a couple of those considering week in and week out we are home by 11:00. We would like to thank the WRP staff and track crew. In that weather condition it makes everything tough. You guys stuck it out for a long long HOT day to give us a race! As far as some not liking the track conditions, this is dirt track racing track is going to be different all the time, If you want smooth all the time maybe you should think about running asphalt! We enjoy different conditions, thats when we learn!!! I hope everyone that stuck around to finish watching all the racing is still talking about that truck feature! our 18b truck and the 25g of Gabe Twining running lap for lap for over ten laps and the win being decided from turn 4 to the flagstand while the whole time the MT1 of Bill Keeler is coming forward for a stab at the front!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that is the kind of racing I like to see. Again Thanks to all involved with making another succesfull speedweek! Team 18b TuffTruck

Well stocker, you got your wish....nothing more to complain about. Just curious, is there a track you haven't thrown a fit about and said you're not going back to yet?
