Strawser is obviously polarizing on the board but the All Stars tweeted a video of the start of the A Main last night and by the end of lap 1 it was hard to see the cars because it was so dusty.
That is unacceptable.

I don't care about the dust......before the heats were half over the track was already hard, black and dry. The dust is what it is as long as it is racey!
Eldora hit it each of the 4 nights I was there this year for the Kings Royal Weekend. Dusty.... yes and don't care, great racing...yes, great track prep.....yes! Very fast at the beginning of the night with the right amount of water on the track each night and yes it was very hot out all 4 days.

The truth is somebody, somewhere has "wronged" you somehow at some track (and I have a pretty good idea where) apparently, and now you take it out on others
If racing makes you so miserable, find something else to follow.
I have sat back back and listened to you bitch about track surfaces long enough.
Put up or shut up - run your own track and prepare it as you see fit, or shut the xxxx up. Enough.

Get over it....sprint car racing is my passion. I love it but I am also going to call out these tracks for lack of track prep. Don't like it.....I don't care.....

Yeah Straswer you are quite abrasive and in general just a trouble maker and troller, doesn't your family give you much attention? Maybe thats why you have to lash out and bitch on a public forum. You are just like other people that have been on here for years, just cry babies that never got much attention as children so you try to get your attention behind the safety of your keyboard.. I would hate to believe you might be related to the Stawser who does the wonderful videos of early PA sprint car racing.
Do you ever physically attend a race or just watch everything on a tube? On a positive side, you can be entertaining once in a while.

I only go every once in a while the track prep is what keeps me from going more often.

Unacceptable yet the racing wasnt bad.

The feature the racing was a one groove track around the top on Thursday night. On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the best, the racing in the feature on Thursday was about a 2 or 2.5 nothing higher.

I'm curious to know...for those of you who think the track prep was bad, where are you located in the US? Legit question here. The reason I ask is that the track compositions range a lot from place to place. The clay and dirt we have in southern Ohio tends to turn out like what you saw last night. Knoxville and 34 Raceway are both black dirt and don't get the same way as far as dust. Not saying the Ohio tracks can't do better, but maybe Ohio is just hampered by the surface that's available.

I agree, but there is not any reason for the track to be hard, black and dry before the heats are half over with 33 cars there.

This race will be terribly boring if you let Strawser prep the track. He hasn't actually seen a sprint car race in person since 1986 and has no understanding of the modern shock and rule packages on 410's. The track record would be beoken by 3 seconds un hotlaps, but it would be a tacky, single file freight train with no passing all night. Strawser would be the only happy fan in attendance because he got to see sprint cars go really fast.

Wrong again, I have been to the races this year. Sorry to disappoint you. Look at the bottom of this post.
Friday night - The track was better than Thursday.....Still one groove in the feature though!

1.25 races per month when you live in the heartland.
