   Blame that on John Kennedy dumping the NDRL!!   Could have been a biggie like last year!!

 Isn't it the fault of the mis-management that has allowed the Pittsburgher to detoriate to this over the years, as well as the crowds that used to come there weekly?  Hard to blame a guy who tried one time to bring the race back to what it was, after it had already tumbled into oblivion.

Kennedy isnt to blame. What he did last yr was give the event one last "celebration" and it was a great time had by many of us of what the event use to be like. I for one, am greatful at what he attempted. It didnt work out this yr, oh well. Businesses come and go all the time.

He hasn't been there for a while , but he gets around there pretty well

If he even comes!

You might be the only person grateful for what he's done. He screwed a whole lot of people out of a whole lot of money.

Garvin hasn't been there since the Pittsburgher last year. I really don't expect him,but you never know. He won his career first Late Model feature at PPMS a few years ago, and also won a crate race there. Don't know why he passed on comming here this season.

He was allowed back at Marion Center this year.

Come on lighten up people!

I am just glad there is still a place that is racing this late in the season.

I agree with Walt that there will be some good racing even with the field being local guys. This could be the last hurrah for this event, come out and support local racing, you wont be disappointed!

 

[The Legend]

Berzerker if this is the last hurrah there's only one person to blame. Anyone who wants to run a race track needs to go to eldora and watch roger slack in action and copy everything he does

29 cars. Pitiful for a race that once had 100. They have succeeded at completey running this event in the ground. It won't be the last one. They didn't guarantee the purse past first. There are going to be some disappointed drivers when they get paid after the Mileys take as much as they can from the low ticket sales. But anyone that runs for them deserves it because the know how they are. That's why we don't race there.

You weren't missed.

I really enjoy the local dirt track racing. I have been going to the local tracks for over 40 years. Great racing is found in many different divisions. In my opinion big name racers don't always make for a better race. When a big name driver shows up, sets fast time, wins the dash and runs away with the feature, it's not a good night. Lets stop bashing the local tracks and promoters and start backing these local tracks. The more fans in the seats equals more money for the race payouts. Visit your local track this weekend and take your neighbor. Only the fans can keep these tracks open.

BINGO

So what's your point? Satterlee lead every lap last night. Not many cars or a good race. Although one butt licker will say it was outstanding no matter what. Most places will give you big names or big fields if cars for those sky high prices.

And Alex was all over his ass.  You weren't  there so why do you even care?  You're a great race face, we need more like you.  We get it, you don't like the place, but no one really cares.  The track at Pittsburgh is ALWAYS racey.   Colton Flinner came from 11th to win, Jon Waters came from 18th to 3rd in the Crate Race.  Dylan Yoder, on a track he runs at most once a year, came from 14th to 3rd, and ended up 4th because he got shuffled back on a restart.  Passing all over the track all through the field.  Take your bitterness elsewhere.
