1. Where were the cars??    2. Track was fast as f**k. Wish it was almost like that every show.    3. Sye Lynch, AJ Flick, Michael Norris and Jared Miley can absolutely wheel a racecar!   4. Scoreboard's awesome.   5. Burke has the dumbest loooking late model stock car i've seen.   6. Bachman needs to put Flinner in his Club29.    Great night of racing to start the season.

1. Racing is expensive !!! I'm sure plenty of other cars would be there if you would pay the bill for them.
2. The faster you make the track the more expensive you make the racing and the more HP / expense required to win.
3. Jared Miley is one of the top regional late model guys and has been for years
4. It's about fuking time they shut up the clowns who can't watch and know who's winning.
5. You bitch that there isn't enough cars and then you bitch that a guy who spent his hard earned money on a car isn't good enough to drive it himself ??? Are you fuking serious ???? Spending that kind of money so another person who isn't your son can go have fun on weekends doesn't make sense.... This isn't a business it's a hobby I'm sure the Bachman guy gets 20 times more enjoyment out of driving the car in 9th that he would spending 10's of thousands to watch someone else drive his car... If you want flinner in a car why don't you buy him one ??? And that isn't even anything against him I'm just talking in general

You and I will always disagree about track conditions.  Friday was way too rough, but it was fast, and all of the features were entertaining. All in all, I thought the track crew did a comendable job with what they had to work with. Just keep the track racy as often as possible. I think we can all agree that dust pouring off of turn two in hot laps doesn't necessarily translate to a fine night of racing. The fans are there to be entertained, not to see asphalt like track conditions that place passing at a premium.

 

The bitching about the scoreboard was getting old. If you pay attention to the whole race, rather than what too many people do, that is, watch one or two cars, then one shouldn't have any trouble keeping track of the top ten in a 20 or 25 lap feature, unless they are a dullard. The advantage I see are for new or novice fans. If it helps with their spectating experience and might in some small way make them want to return, then it is worth the investment.

 

You are right. It is Todd Bachmann's toy(s), he can do with them what he wants. I'm pretty sure he isn't happy running at the bottom of the top ten, but that's his business.

I think the track crew did a fantastic job. The track simply needs more clay in my opinion. It peeled down to the dirt and ground surface of the track in the features and thats what was causing the ruts. It looked like i could see dirt and rocks on the exit of 2 and entry to 3. Just not enough clay on the surface anymore. But they dont have any extra money to spend on it for the fans or drivers...

That track sucked it had luckin holes in it the cars were flying in the air. I like a tacky fast track that's a little rough not holes that are two feet deep.

It had holes because the clay was 4 inches deep and got peeled off the dirt surface. Put 100 truckloads of clay on the track like it has needed, prep it the same way, and it wont have that issue. Granted its to late to add clay now but its still the fact of the matter. A lot of drivers had issues with preparing the cars, period. Not all of the mechanical failures seemed to be based off the track preparation. Even Feders flip wasn't really the tracks fault. It could be argued it was, but also not. There were many variables throughout the night. I thought it was great night of racing all around. I would love to see the same racing the rest of the year. Hell of a lot better than watching that follow the leader bullshit on slick tracks

The faster the cars go, the more ruts and peeling you will have. Any track can only hold so much speed, why do you think some of the Nascar tracks have concrete corners?

I don't think he's suggesting that the track needs to be every week like it was opening night. A cushion, dry in the middle with bite on the bottom makes for good racing there. You can preach all you want about Sahara dry top to bottom, that's the typical SLM mentality. Lernerville is about more than that single division. Sprints and Big Blocks on dry/slick tracks suck. Period.
