Fixer and Oswald, I understand your frustration with Bob cat, stop responding to him and he will go away. You can't insult him, he will never change his delusional opinions, and frankly he enjoys you guys berating him. If you do not feed the Bob cat hopefully he will go elsewhere to "try to make the racing experience better for you the fan" . Next moronic thread he starts simply don't respond. #dontfeedthebobcat

And that will be in his standard time frame of 4 to 6 weeks.

Lincoln Speedway put their $$ into that facility 10-15years ago in regards to the Outside Pits, Tunnel, Infield...Its likely the nicest track in central PA...They put seat backs on the upper rows a few years back...
My only complaint about Lincoln this season...I went to the Italian Ice stand during a B main (foget which week)...I was told they were closed...Well...They had about 5 containers clearly full of Italian Ice..Apparetnly they just didn't want to sell it! Kind of errked me the wrong way...Ohh well...Rutter's appreciated business later that evening

Regarding Lincoln, am I the only one that loves the concrete seats? I bring my own stadium chair, stretch my legs out, have lots of room around me, can pile my bags and coolers next to me, watch kids play with their matchbox and sprint cars, don't have people kneeing me in the back, or have to move when someone walks by to leave.
Also, Lincoln provides a nice program magazine for only $2, have a contest guessing the number of cautions for $100, have a pick top 5 contest, hand out prizes to fans before the feature, have good priced concessions, have great alternate concessions like Sensenigs pit beef, Ritas Italian Ice, Brickers Fries, and an announcer you can hear. They always try to get a show in and always keep it moving along.

Rather then highlight each comment , let me see if I came sum it up what you want to know . I admit Lincoln is not one of my favorite tracks , it use to be years ago but they changed the track with inside guard rail for safety reasons . You use to go around on the inside even better before . Why , you say, well it is too tight for me , the cars don't sound like they do at other tracks to me maybe because of gearing or some other reason ? not sure what it is . Most of the time I see to many accidents , as one guy spins out and there is nowhere to go .
Facts are they have not improved the conditions at Lincoln in over 5 years or more , where all the others have except Grandview , Susky ,( whoops now they are, thanks to Scott Gobrecht ) , and now even Path Valley is thanks to Fred Rahmer . Ok , maybe it has good racing in your book but not mine , I know good racing is the number one thing you go to see . But to me not making improvements in the facility that is probably making more money then the other tracks is the one reason I see that they don't care about you the fans . I know thats not important to you ? well what about the new fans coming to watch the races ? Isn't it a good idea to let the new fans see or experience a clean facility ? Not concrete bleachers , poor track food, except the outside vendors food which everyone likes . These are facts but it may not matter to you ? I care to see new fans come to watch our racing not at rustic non-creative facilities . Also don't worry I don't complain while racing is going on, this is something my critics created . I care about it all don't YOU ? GUYS . Another fact is everyone is so loyal that supports Lincoln, is maybe the main reason they don't improve the venue because it packed weekly not because of the racing but because of the location . If some of the other tracks had the location they would be packed as well . And i take everything into account not just the racing , I guess you guys don't . So if they cared they would do things differently wouldn't they ? No , I am not happy complaining I just POINT OUT FACTS AND MY OPINIONS THAT BOTHER YOU GENTLEMEN , THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW ME .Thanks for another round of great debate of opinions . I write these comments cause I CARE, NOT TO READ THEM .

Wow you really are an idiot. If you don't enjoy the racing you see at Lincoln, you might as well buy a set of golf clubs because sprint car racing isn't your thing. You say they haven't spent any money on the facility in a long time, well, that's because their facility doesn't need jack shit done to it with the exception of the rest rooms which aren't great but still more than serve their purpose. As far as the concrete bleachers are concerned, they don't need replace. They provide plenty of seating and not to mention, they're quite spacious compared to most places. Take a stadium chair and an ass pad and you'll be able to stretch out and get nice and comfortable. It's obvious that you don't go to the races to see the races. You go there to inspect the facility as if its any of your fucking business and then critique the owners and spout off on a message board telling them how to spend THEIR MONEY. Like I told you from day one, if you don't like it, go buy some land and build your dream Speedway and show them all how it's done. If you'd do that, you'd lose your ass and then some because you don't know shit about operating a business and that's evident by the fantastical and flat out stupid expectations you have for seemingly every Dirt track. If you go to a restaurant for the first time and the building is spotless and beautifully decorated with the most comfortable seating you've ever sat in at a restaurant yet they serve you a terrible meal and the service itself is extremely bad, are you gonna go back? If you use the same criteria you judge Speedways by, you would. Therefore you are an idiot. Now I'm gonna take Staggerlee's advice and quit replying to your bullshit from now on.

All good points made here , and I am glad you like the seating , everybody is different . You sound like a weekly visitor to Lincoln and don't go elsewhere ?

My only problem with Lincoln is that I don't live closer. Great racing and that Pit Beef Sandwich and chicken legs are so good I'd go there for dinner even if they weren't racing.

Absolutely. If I was forced to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would probably have to be a pit beef. Nothing better than eating one of those while watching them pull wheelies coming off of turn 4 in warm ups. February 27, 2016 can't get here soon enough!
