Congratulations to AJ on his big $12,000 win at the Port.  Well deserved!!  

Last night Port was the Speed Palace again!  Mid to high 15 second bracket in warmups and time trials = Great Features at the Port everytime!  21 cars under 16.2 in TT....they brought the excitement back for one night.  Great job track crew....keep it up and I will be back.

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

No, no matter what Port does in the future, please don’t go back. Nobody wants you at their facility. Period. End of story. 

LOL!  You can't handle the truth about racing....Period.  End of Story!!

If they can have a track like that for the rest of the year I may start going back next year.  If not,  I will not be back.  They have great racing when the track is like it was last night.  Super fast at the beginning of the night and just about perfect for the feature.  Can't ask for anything more than that.

Hate to tell you but last night blew your theory. The track was faster early in the night but by feature time it was no or very little different than many other nights. The racing great last night but it has been on many nights when you think it can't be because of lap times early in the night.

No what you have the other nights is a slip and slide.  That is not sprint car racing when it is who slips the least all night long. That is napcar racing.   I will not go to a slip and slide.

Congrats AJ on the win and Port on a great surface!

Way to Go A. J.!!  Hats off to a young up and coming driver from Western Pa.  He continues to progress fast and has now added not only a significant win, but one against the Posse on their turf! 

No one gives a shit if you go back or not. In fact, I'd prefer you didn't. I've never seen another fan who's more of a pain in the ass than you are. Just stay home and watch on the internet. It's best for all invovled.

Great to see this guy coming from western pa to run the port on Saturday night . Great win for that team.

And I thought this was a thread to congratulate AJ Flick on finally getting that big win at Port.  But, even with that being in the subject line, it seems like I've read this thread before.  

Glad to see AJ do well. In all honesty it has been a long time since a Western Pa driver was competative in Central Pa. His sponsorship from Red Robin has certainly helped and it made their marketing folks look brillant picking someone like AJ. As a result of his success, he is now getting a nice following of fans each week at Port Royal.

Since he started running Port almost regularly last year, his fan base grew. When he won the feature last year people went crazy.  Now that he runs there every Saturday and is sitting third in the points, he's got a much larger base and people love him. I'm glad to see him doing so well, seems like a pretty good guy.

Yep....funny how that works with a few wins.....it is not uncommom now to see the grandstands @ Port Royal dotted with AJ Flick shirts among those with the Dewease, Wagner, Cisney, TJ Stutts, etc 

You were mistaken. This thread is about something that happened at Port Royal so regardless of the posted subject, you can count on Strawser hijacking it and posting his usual idiotic diatribe about lap times and slip and slides. He still doesn't understand the concept of fact vs. opinion and despite being told many times, he still doesn't get the point that NO ONE here or anywhere else gives a rats ass what his opinion is. So the next time someone posts a thread containing the words "Port Royal" you can count on a repeat.

Agreed. He's really stepped up his game. One can argue that he's been one of the fastest cars at Port over the past month or 2 and if he didn't have such horrible luck, he'd have the finishes to prove it. He is a really good guy. It's nice to see him doing well. Hopefully some day, he can come the Central PA full time and do some more racing at Lincoln and Williams Grove. He could really become a major player in this area. He's definitely got the talent.

You are 100% correct on this.

He is entitled to his opinions just you and everybody else are.

Third generation driver. His Grandfather, Pee Wee Flick was a legendary driver in western Pa. His Dad, Mark won many features on dirt and on asphalt. His Uncle Doug does much of the work on the car, he drove big block modifieds. This is a true racing family. A J started in stock cars and was going to follow in his Dad's footsteps racing a big block modified. They decided it would be less work to maintain a sprint car instead of tearing the body off a modified every week to do maintenance. The rest as they say is history.

.......says the other relentless Port basher. But you're right. He's entitled to it and others are entitled to point out how ridiculous he is. 

Lol, this x 100 ^^^^^^^^^^.  I wouldn't be surprised if winged is actually Strawser or one of his buddies, maybe a family member.  He seems to always agree with Strawser. Coincidence....doubtful.
