You people are pretty brutal. I admit that last nights race was bad. One of, if not the worst i have seen this year.
But, 7 out of 10 races at Lincoln are very good. Top and a bottom with passing. and, 2 out of the other 3 are normally "ok". And then once or twice a year you get that one lane parade that you had last night. Sometimes they water the top and make it as one lane as last night, but just around the top of the track instead of the bottom. That's what makes dirt track prep one of the hardest things to do in racing. Almost impossible to get it right 100% of the time.
In my opinion it wasn't the fact they didn't water the top last night but that the bottom was to good to start the race. Everybody went down there and dusted up the rest of the track. Little marbles that they couldn't get blown off to make a second groove.
It wasnt just track conditions. Lets face it, put Dietrich on the pole and even if the track's racey, the chances of him winning are still 75%. Would have been a better show with some racing back thru the pack, but chances are it would have been the same results. We will never know.
It's dirt track racing. Some great racing, and some not so great racing. Has been happening for the 40+ years i have been going, and to every track i have ever been to. I will still go back the next chance i get.
