Catering to the crate cars ? The wave of the future

[Vigoda Motorsports]

So youre complaining about track conditions how many hours before a single car has been on the track?

Most stacked Firecracker lineup ever. Ill hold my complaints until Sunday.

What do you expect with this weather

[lvillefan19]

17 seconds in qualifying for the supers is pretty shitty

[Benny K]

Atrocious

[Benny K]

Slick is one thing. So dusty you cant see the cars on the track and rough is not acceptable. Looks like they started racing in the middle of the afternoon.

You people would bitch no matter what. Unbelievable

[Justin314]

With the weather in pa recently, there should be no reason to have dust so bad you can't see turn 1. It's crazy.

[Benny K]

I never am accused of being a complainer and in fact am often accused of being a Lernerville apologist, but the dust was borderline unsafe. The roughness is expected. Only thing I can figure is not much water put on it in an attempt to keep it from getting rough. Whatever was done try it differently. One a plus side it wasnt as bad as Atomic apparently.

Atomic cancelled the remainder of the show because the fence got torn down.

The track was rough and it was dusty, but I thought the racing was great. High and low groove (big rut low in turn 3)  Let them work on it.  the real test will be tomorrow.  I think the crate race will be very competitive.  Couple of the fastest cars will not  be on the front row.  No Lux, Lake, Covert,

Covert ran Potomac and with Winchester and Hagerstown running hard for him to go buy tires for one weekend. Hess going to I-77 is the real head scratcher.

The track was great tonight. It was probably the best racing of any preliminary Firecracker program to date.

Mark Richards was giving it to the World of Outlaws tonight after the race. He basically said that this place is going downhill ever since it left wrg control with Gary running the program. The track conditions tonight were unsafe and they did nothing at all to prevent it. A lot of other drivers said the same thing. Rick Eckert left. They cut the track open early in the morning to get it all out and then they pounded it all back down in three a little bit of water on top of it. Hopefully Saturday shows a lot better.

I believe the Hess team has sponsor commitments to run Ultimate MOV races as much as possible??

[Drtracer27]

At times the track conditions made for some good racing but I'm sure the drivers weren't happy at all with it. More concerning to me was the amount of time it took for any safety crews to reach Greg after his roll.

The track looked amazing at one point yesterday.  CollageMaker_20190622_101155665.jpg   399.9KB   3 downloads

Unsafe is a bit extreme. I've seen races on much worse surfaces. Does Richards think that the track has the ability to control the weather? The ground is saturated and soft, there's no way to pack down the Earth when there's that much water in it. The show was great last night. It's not like it was so rough like the Lucas show at Sharon a few years ago that they couldn't race on it.

What's he want a slick shit dusty track like Charlotte?
