Went to the SRX show at Sharon on Saturday, was a little disappointed.  I thought they would put on a better show.  I understand that 3000 pound cars on a slick track results in slow cars, but 22 second laps on a 3/8 mile track?!  And these are professionals.  Maybe I was expecting a bit more excitement.  There was a lot of close racing and there was some bumping and rubbing and a couple slide jobs, but I don't think I'll go again if they are in the area next year.  Maybe I'm just spoiled with sprint cars and super late models.  Thoughts?

The wife and i were there as well and i had the same feeling. It was an experience, but no need to go back again. I was a little bummed they didn't have an autograph session, but i understood why..

FWIW, it was just as boring on TV. Just a money-making venture for Stewart. Like he doesn't have enough.

I don't get why. They bring drivers in from far and wide and I doubt there spending there money to come and do it. Tracks are signing up because the curious fans want to come and see what it's all about and I'm guessing the place was full. Transportation costs for the cars and team members to keep them on track. Tony and Everham must need there heads examined. Everham recently sold off a lot of his extreme collection of older restored race cars.

I have a short video I would like to share but I don't know how to upload to this format.  There seems to be no upload option.  Can someone help me out?

Hit "reply to this topic" on the top, right hand side of the page. When the dialogue box opens, there is an icon labeled "my media" on the tool bar. I'm guessing you have to select the media you want, upload it, then post it. Hope this helps.
