Highlights of night 2 of the Short Track Nationals.

I always wondered what winged sprint cars on an ice rink would be like, now I know. The question remains how long does it take the Zamboni to resurface the ice rink down there in Little Rock? Judging by the lack of water in the dirt there must be a drought in Arkansas.

On another note, thanks for the prompt posting of the race footage.

Cheers!

Jeff,

Thanks for the quick highlights!

Picky, picky, picky. I'd take a race like that any day with three wide action all over the track over a heavy hammer down one laner. As long as the track has three grooves who cares if it gets a little slick. There have been a lot of laps on that track over the past couple nights and the racing was still good.

Little Rock reminds me a lot of Princeton, Minnesota, and that place always have some good racing, even when it slicks over a little. I don't know where you watch your racing but I've never seen a short track with that type of brown clay that didn't get a little slick. That's the type of dirt we have up here and pretty much all the tracks get like that towards the end of the evening. I've seen the track crews dig them up before the Feature and as a result the racing was a yawner. Fast for sure but there wasn't much side by side or passing because all anyone could do was floor it and hang on.

I saw passing high, low and in the middle plus a green to checker race. What's there to complain about?

thank you very much

everytime i see tracks in pa or cali or anywhere else for that matter by feature time its slick good god cant you people find anything else to bitch about wow no lives.... go get a hobby

Very sorry to hear about his injury, i hope has a quick and complete recovery.

Cheers!

Actually the track took rubber and was anything but slick. You sure you were at the same track? Great racing!

Cheers!

I have heard that place can be pretty exciting but with a non-race-fan wife there's not much chance I'll ever be able to sell a racing vacation to California. I've seen tacky tracks where they'd pick up the front wheels, that can be fun to watch but based on what I see up here in MN and W WI slick multi groove can be pretty awesome as well. It's all good. That STN video looks pretty good to me, I'd take that kind of racing any day.

Ditto. Its amazing how everyone seems content with such sad conditions. A nice cushion is just about a thing of the past. It sure is saving me a lot of money and miles on my vehicles.
