Hodnett holds off Dewease in racy Susquehanna Speedway victory

perhaps they are still using the old owner's alarm clock?

a few new light bulbs in the old scoreboard and the place might be ready for USAC!

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

weather." Van May

All day long they were saying officials meeting at 5;:00 , drivers meeting at 5:15 and hot laps at 6:00. Hot laps started at 6:00. First heat sttated at 6:40.

Those are facts.

29 cars??  "I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a lil rockier than this"....To anyone that was there, how was the crowd?

They had a really good turnout .

Great car counts for being a chilly night.    29 410's and 29 358's.   I think by mid-summer they will have 35 cars for the 410 shows.    Crowd was great.    Not many empty seats.     Had a blast last night and will be in attendance for all of the future Susquehanna 410 shows and USAC events.  Scott did a great job with the place. 

Wizzard is correct! It was a good show but it is Sunday. The management or race director should keep that in mind. Once again, it was a good show.

Great show last night. susky is back  

I saw both of those two. I think the confusion is they must consider hotlaps as racing time. As they did announce frequently all day that hot laps start at 6:00. I'm thankful that my free time is free , instead of worrying about when I get home.

PS. I got home from Susky 1 hour before I had to leave to go to work. No complaints here !

Good show , good car count , great crowd , great track , I was out of there by 8:58 after 410 sprint feature , its improving every show and every week . There staff it working all week long in making more improvements , what more can you ask for .

35-40 cars. That's was I was asking for. And expecting. Especially after everybody cancelling Fri and Sat. 

Susky used to be the best track in pa for racing action, let's hope it's back for good now.

If your expecting 35-40 cars then u will need to wait for the traveling shows/speed week to start...

i stayed for the 358s and I was home by 10:30 In Carlisle,..40min drive

I also heard announcements for hot laps at 6...y'all  just like to complain..cars on the track at 6pm was good for me  

That would have been to much to ask for the way things are going these days . You have to wait for All Stars or WoO to come in to get a high car count . Times aren't like they use to be ,due to expenses , team members  not being as dedicated as they use to be regardless of the time or place the shows were at , so now because of work some teams don't race on Sundays . Even though the purse will be good at Bedford this Sunday , some may skip the race even though it should be done early .

It was just a mistake on their part. No need to cry.

People expecting 35-40 cars for a regular show are out of there minds.   It's just not going to happen.    There's too many races in Pennsylvania for every team to run, it's just not going to happen.   30 cars on a very cold night and people are still bitching....

I was there all day. I was in the sample line one time. Beer is legal.

How many bowls of pot did you smoke? Mike.

We saw you walking in. It made my day complete knowing that you and Bob Altman were in attendance. Two assholes at the same venue. I thought I was on a farm.

First of all I wasn't bitching. Secondly I said I expected 35-40 cars because no one fucking raced all weekend. I did not say I expect 35-40 cars at each track, each week.  Another reason I expected more cars is because it was the first 410 show at a revamped susky, and there's been a lot of buildup for that race. Is 29 cars a decent turnout? Absolutely. But I can guarantee you that kolten house expected a few more cars. And so did I.

You smoke herb? I'm shocked....
