• Yes cuz kings royal, natty open and Knoxville sell out prelim nights..... Oh wait, never mind 

WG tried making the Natty Open 3 nights but attendance was a disaster the opening night so they went back to 2. I don't know why any shows need to be 3 nights other than events like Knoxville that have split fields but Port seems to be doing well with the 3 night show. 50-50 was $2700 the 1st night, $7300 the 2nd night and over $13,000 last night. Pretty good indicator that they were well attended.

50/50.... brings up a question I was wondering about:

I was in Section I..... NO 50/50 ladies came around. Is that a "family friendly" section or something like that?

Nah, once the stands start to fill up, you don't see the 50/50 girls very often as it gets too busy. If you want tickets walk out the old main entrance and head up towards the new ticket booth. At the main intersection on the left, you'll see a little wooden booth where someone sells all the colors and you can pick up any amount of tickets you want. 

This is only during the fair though. 

No, Eldora and Knoxville hold a lot more fans than Port does.   Probably more than double what Port holds.  

The Natty Open at Williamsgrove will be much fuller on the first night than Port was for the night before.  Williamsgrove holds more people than Port does as well.   They have big crowds for the Outlaws.  I have been to 3 of the 4 of the outlaw shows at the grove and they were pretty much packed.

Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

It's hard for someone from mid America to understand why fans in PA would dislike WG or PR.  We have a lot of 3/8 and 1/4 here and precious few big tracks.  The surface at PR appears to get slicker of the two but that is what produces exciting racing.  Obviously nobody likes a track that rubbers down into one lane with no passing or side by side racing but I'm not seeing that when I watch PA races.  You have it pretty good back there regardless of which is your favorite.

correct...

I actually prefer the smaller tracks, gonna miss Grandview

Only one (or 2?) people here are constantly complaining about Port

The rest of us appreciate what we have!

"Fans in PA" = 1 buffoon with 2 screen names. Port is mostly loved by the PA faithful. 

Williams Grove has been the big kid on the block for a long time and as such has the haters but it's still a fine track when it wants to be. 

Nope, I never met wingedspeed.  Ask the one of the moderators....they can tell you.

Again, I don't hate any track.  Port was prepared correctly on Saturday night and it showed.  Track was lightning fast at the beginning of the night and the feature was great.  That is the way it should be every Saturday night.  They normally run at least 3 classes every time they race.  So that is why it needs to be that fast to start with how hard they run the track in.

No one mentioned Winged Speed. You did. Hm....Maybe he's the one of Facebook spouting about a certain speedway in your exact writing style?

You need to look again.  He accused me of having 2 screen names.  

LOL!  You can think what you want.  However, I have never belonged to either facebook or twitter.  That is a fact Jack.

Just checking in to see if this post accidently started to be about Brian Brown yet.... 

Keep It Real

You are correct sort of... He didn't say you have two screen names. He said some buffon had two screen names and you volunteered to be that buffoon, I guess. Congrdulations. Here's your prize.

I have been called worse things in my life.  Probably will again.  Just don't call me late for Supper!

Saw the thread title and thought someone was getting a early start with the "Brownie is gonna win the Nationals this  year" thread

I mean he was really fast in June.....

     To be fair, Brown is good on big tracks and he has a solid record at Knoxville. I think most of us here (and some among us, twice ) would agree that he's in the top 24 list of drivers that are capable of winning the Nationals next year. 

Changing the subject.... what would be the results, if Brown decided to spend a season in PA with a good PA team?

I think the only thing that helps Brown is to spend a year on the road with the Outlaws.  No offense to the Posse, but the level of competition is higher in the WoO, more tracks and just the general grind of following an 80 or 90 race tour.  Spending time in PA would help but he already runs 70 nights, many with the WoO and the All-Stars.

He did that with the #6 team a few years back. I think his schedule is fine. Sprint car racing needs more true outlaws that pick and choose a sensible schedule that suits their team like Brown, Rico, Marks, Macri, DD, Kofoid, Timms and Scelzi.
