No touring series has done as much damage as we have done to ourselves. There's way too many races in Central PA. We start racing in the winter time and by the time the weather warms up enough to where we aren't freezing to death every weekend, we already have almost 3 months of racing done. We need less races that pay more money. It will never happen because all the tracks are too greedy and would never even consider working together on a regional series like that. Throw in the fact that we have 67 different classes of sprint cars and we don't have the teams to support all the races we have here. If anything, the touring series help things out. At least when they come to town, we usually get decent fields of cars because the purses are higher. I don't blame anyone who wants to go on the road and race for purses that aren't stuck in 1986.

I really like this up and coming Driver, he has showed me lots in the various PPV's I have watched this year. Not afraid to gas it and has made some very good passes on the edge. I wish him well but it will be a challenge as this car has never really shown a lot of speed not matter the shoe. Here's hoping and best wishes to Brock going forward.....

If you look back to last season, it was right around this time last year when Paul stepped out..which just happened to be when the motors needed refreshed. I believe this year is very similar. From my understanding, Brock may be bringing some fresh bullets to the team as well. Seems to me if there is no success, the owners don’t want to invest much. So when done I d can bring it the table, they have no issues making a move. I see this as a lateral move that could end up being a boost. With his own stuff at home, he’s got nothing to lose.

just because you couldn't get any traction doesn't mean others can't. It takes a good mechanic and good driver to work in those conditions. The tracks you talk about, anybody without a brain can run on as long as they have a heavy right foot (no skill). Somebody that understands all of that can appreciate what a good team, mechaninc, and driver really is on a track that not just everybody can get ahold of.

I think he truly does think that but he's mistaken. I'm not a fan of their track prep most of the time either but I don't expect them to change it on my behalf. We have a lot of options here in PA and in recent years, I've been bouncing around a lot more. I still hit a good many shows at Port and since I'm at a race with my friends, I still enjoy myself but it doesn't do it for me like it used to so I go to Lincoln a lot more now and sometimes travel out to Western PA if there's an All Star show or something along those lines. That's just my opinion/personal preference. Strawser doesn't seem to be able to draw any distinction between his opinion and fact. He thinks if he wants it a certain way that it should be done that way because he said so. Port Royal is going to do what they want to do and that's perfectly fine whether I like it or not. I always have the option to not go or to go somewhere else so that's what I've been doing.

I love watching sprint car racing, but I don’t want to drive all over the country to see it. I can drive 5 min to the Grove, 30 min to Lincoln , and an hour to Port. Major series are going to kill local sprint car racing. There have been many threads on here discussing decreasing car counts in Posse land. Well, it just dropped one more and one of the better teams to boot!!!!
|
Agreed. I like the all-stars as they are a regional series and those teams are more on-par with local racers but I barely even follow the outlaws. I just don't get that excited anymore about the big budget series that only comes through the area a couple times a year. I'd rather see strong weekly fields like we used to have.

Strawser... The Big E, is nowhere near the race track it used to be. The grove on Friday nights outlaw show had a wet/track and had little passing. Kreitz won. Monteith was coming thru the field. But, because the surface was as good as it was. Everybody was fast. You get a track that starts to slick off then you see guys start moving around, slide jobs, and passing. If port was soft and wet it would be follow the leader 1 groove racing. So what's the difference ?

Agreed. Heavy wet, every one is fast ,no passing. Slick with heavy cushion, no one leaves the top, no passing. Slick with narrow or small cushion creates two or three grooves with lots of passing, moving around, and good racing. Slick with no cushion, follow leader around bottom, no passing. These are the facts. Just a matter of what you like to see. Most of us prefer the third with passing. Some like high speed with no passing (strawser). It is a fine line to create a track that doesn't have a huge advantage on the top or on the bottom but port does this much better than the groove on consistant basis. The grove is either a train around the top or a train around the bottom. In all of this it doesn't matter even a little bit what the lap times are.

Please fellow race fans ( all but one ), please do not reply to, or get in any conversation with you know who. Just don’t do it, and all will be good again in the world. No matter what track you attend on Fridays and Saturdays, just don’t do it, resist the urge. Start a new thread and he goes away. I’d really like to have adult and legitimate conversations about sprint car racing with everyone, and not a dump fest with Chris Jericho’s latest addition to The List!
