saturday night at port was some of the best racing i've ever seen anywhere.  3 wide on an even pavement surface would be hard let alone sprint cars on a dirt track.  yesterday might not have been as good...but the only thing holding macri back lately up there is having to negotiate traffic.  you're not going to see a hail mary pass every time you go to the track.  some races are better than others

What a surprise...

Macri is one of the top posse drivers for sure but lets not forget where he started this weekend. Some good drawing luck never hurts.

For anyone from outside central Pennsylvania reading this thread, he is complaining that a daytime surface took rubber.

Haha

Talked to alot of drivers over the years and most of em prefer slick tracks.  low groove and a cushion so two grooves.  Brings out the best in the drivers.  Not as hard on equipment.  Fans love the racing slick tracks bring, or sure seem too.  Car owners like slick tracks cause they spend less $$.  So drivers, owners and fans like it.  But Strawser and his twin dont.  Weird.  

Macri is "up & coming", but far from "the leader"

It was sunny, warm and very windy with a 1 pm start time. What the hell did you expect Strawser? Just more proof that you have the IQ of a rotten potato. That said, the track has been a little on the dry side recently. Too dry in my opinion. The thing I'd really like to see, is the return of a useable bottom groove. Since they reconfigured the banking, it's pretty much one lane around the top. On top of that, there's been a lot of incidents lately where guys get their right rear into the guardrail and end up going for a ride. No one wants to see that. Maybe letting a bit of a cushion build would help or they could grade the lip down on top to even out the bottom and top lanes a little bit. I saw a video on Twitter of the 2017 night before the 50 and the difference between then and now is very noticeable. I think it was better back then when guys could race side by side and pass in another groove as opposed to having to rely on a bonzai slider and pinching the other guy against the wall coming off the corner.

Strawser. I hope the hell your not at port royal. You probably think you saw the greatest race of the year. 

What about the other races that were not daytime shows? That is not the one you were bitching about. You were the Jackass bitching about a daytime surface being slow. That is the way you are when even you realize that you have made an Ass of yourself you deflect to something else.

Why do people debate this constantly?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
