Does any one use the black flag any more or get pentilized for rough driving? I don't know about any of you others but it gets old fixing a car every week becouse of rough driving and nothing being done to fix the problem. When track officials are asked about the use of the black flag and rough driving they just blow you off and inform you that the black flag will remain in the dust corner. This is what seems to be happening at Lawton. Yes its great to get cars from other places but lets race not destroy the cars. If Lawton is not going to stop the rough driving then let us know and we all can play that game.

I think letting the track get slicker would solve a lot of that. Heavy track cause people to drive over their heads and means more damage to cars.

A slicker track in Lawton though means everyone starts spinning every other lap. the last time the track was dry they tore up A LOT of race cars. I know there are a few drivers that can handle a dry track, 55 being one of them, but there is not many in Lawton. It almost becomes comical because so many cars spin so often, if it wasn't so frustrating to have 25 cautions in one feature it would be comical. I know that doesn't apply to the 55 and a few others because you guys are actually good drivers but there are a lot in Lawton that aren't so good.
Can I change my name to ModifiedFanRob?

im going along with mod55h. Tacky tracks are hard on equipment. Lawton is a motor eating monster.

I don't think slick helps much at Lawton or anywhere else for that matter. You wind up with one groove around the bottom and the only to move up is to lean on the car in front of you.

I've seen a few dry tracks produce the kind of racing you describe, but in my experience its far from the norm, and usually a product of a race surface that has been raced on so much its become rubbered up and glazed over. I'd go as far as to say, that I've seen more locked down, no passing (so I'll drive over my head and run ya over), single file, spread out races due to a heavy/greasy track surfaces than I have dry. I'm just speaking from my general experience and as I've stated before on here, I haven't been to Lawton a whole bunch so what you describe could very well be the norm for a dry track there. However, the few races I've seen on a dry race surface there have all been pretty good. Now, Clinton Speedway and Lake Country Speedway both typically produce great multi-groove (2 sometimes 3 wide) racing when the tracks are dry.
I like dirt!

I agree Dogwater when it has been dry there has been some pretty good racing. Its a lot easier on equipment and helps lower the cost of racing. See everyone this weekend. Maybe the water truck want start. LOL
