If a certain someone bitches about tonight's surface, he is a flat out troll. 

Damn, it's fast. Tearing up some equipment though.

Also, YukYuk and Chuckles are driving me nuts announcing on Flo.

No, I think Dewease realized the track wasn't racey and saved the motor in the 69k. 2 more nights will see. The 72 looked slow, Hefner better get some horsepower between the frame rails. 

Yeah when its cloudy and humid like it has been yesterday and today in Central Pa the track will remain heavy tacky and fast! 

Blake anderson during heat 3 on Friday..." We are already slower than the feature times last night...and when the track slows down and gets slick, that's when the racing really gets sporty".  

And 90% of the drivers and fans cannot disagree with that! 

That. Was. Awesome. 
 

Super fun seeing the 69k educate the youngsters. 

Sorry, disagree.  I can watch F1 if I want to watch cars go really fast with no passing

Another great race tonight. Before anyone (a certain someone in particular) starts giving me a case of the ass, no, I wasn't there (wish I was!). I'm watching Flo.

You guys back there should be proud to have a place like that. 

Can't wait for tomorrow night. Hard not to pick Dewease. That car gets off the bottom in 2 & 4 better than anyone. He made the middle groove work too.

Yea, I'm sure you would have seen passing like that Thursday.  As I said earlier, the 69k team should give classes on racing smart. Heavy tracks show nothing because everyone is on the gas, last night you saw the guys with finesse get to the front. You hear Lance say in his interview that Macri just needs to be a little more patience ? Great race, great. 

On another note, the 72 should stay home for the Saturday night show. Embarrassing to say the least. Visible that they don't have the motor to run  with these guys. Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see any speed from them at all. 

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, and I was just watching on Flo.  For me, there was no comparison.  Friday night was FAR more entertaining to watch than Thursday night was.  Maybe there was more passing, I don't know.  I do know this-----a 3-car battle for the lead that lasts 10 laps trumps anything else that happened on Thursday night in my opinion.  I thought Friday night was exciting and Thursday night was a runaway snoozer.  I didn't get to see much of the action deep in the field, but I saw no movement at all on the scoreboard.  What was I missing?   

Also, what is everyone's obsession with highest speed possible?  If I show up at the race track and it's heavy and fast, I'm disappointed.  Am I the only one?   I didn't think last night looked like a skating rink at all.  I thought the speeds were just right as witnessed by the battle at the end.  

Everyone's obsession is actually 2 guys who may be one guy who posts their reviews of every Port race using the same lense over and over and over again. If its a fast track and a freight train main event, "that's sprint car racing!" If it's a slick track with multiple battles for the lead, "that sucked". 

Rinse and repeat.

It's not likely that I will ever attend a race at Port Royal living in Minnesota but I watched on Floracing and I won't miss many whenever it's on tv after last night.  I'm used to 410 Heats scrambling for position in the first turn and going single file for the rest of the race.  The Port had race long battles in multiple Heats and the Feature was entertaining from start to finish.

Having both Floracing and Dirtvision I have to admit that the product the All Stars are putting out there this season stacks up well.  I had the choice between All Stars at Port and a 22 car WoO show and opted for the All Stars.  Their shows are more often than not the most entertaining of all the options on any given night.  

I can see why PA fans are so passionate about their racing.  Who wouldn't be if they had those tracks available to them to attend?

Your opinion.  But, I didn't see a slip and slide show last night at all.  I saw a great race.  

Hey ass-hat go watch the interviews from the drivers after the race on floracing.......they like the track the way it was on Friday WAY more than Thursday, except probably Eliason lol. Their was way more passing on Friday. I still think Larson will win Saturday by the way IMO only first night out in the new car after the wreck and comes home 3rd and 20 more laps as well. We shall see though. Wouldn't surprise me if get a non Macri, Dewease or Larson winner either. Time to get the bbq, beer and Whiskey ready!

Where's my beer or scotch on the rocks? God-damn it! 40 
plus years of dirt track racing in these old veins might 
get me condemned by the EPA.

Track was perfect last night, multi-groove, back and forth, side by side racing with passing all over the place. I was shocked and happy to see some grip and passing on the bottom last night. It's been a long time since I've seen that there. It's been such a top groove track the last couple years. Loved it!

A

me too! great racing last night from my TV 2000 plus miles away!

No what I'm saying is that they are slow. They started up front on a heavy track Thursday and you could see Stewart was losing ground on every straight away. Last night's feature, I lost my feed so yes I'm not sure,  he did not advance at all and was running in the back. 

I've been thinking that all summer about the Allstars. With limited races countrywide, California shut down, all those true outlaws & Cali boys showing up for Allstar races has made them every bit as entertaining or better than WoO

Holy crap....the B Main. That's 4 trashed cars in two separate big ones. Glad all those guys are ok.

It was nice to see flick smile for the tv camera while eveyone else cleaned up his steaming mess.

Yeah, that move was ill-advised....
