Well what did ya'll think about today's race

Track started to widen out by the B and both the B and A mains were pretty good. 

They had a TERIFFIC crowd on a breezy, cold February afternoon, which prooves the fans of Central Pa love their 410 Sprint Cars!!

To be honest, I'm quite jealous. Our season starts with the traditional first rain-out on Mother's Day. 

Winged strawser you gotta be kidding. I give them all the credit in that they kept watering the top and by feature time it did become a better surface. But, the heat races were all about were you started.

They did a good job bringing track around for B and A mains. But be honest almost any week at any track the heats are about where you start.  I am in favor of 12 lap heats and 15 lap B if more then 10 cars. Hard to go from 10 or worse in less then 2 1/2 minutes.

A) Great crowd! Looked pretty cold with all that wind

B) Kofoid mjust be getting serious about racing a wing car.... long way from California, guess he stayed after Florida races

C) Macri was pretty funny talking about "Issues" with Dietrich. He's usually kind of stiff in interviews, seemed like he was enjoying potential feud... ;)

I care about the heats!!! ;)

So are you calling me "nobody"???

That's where you'd be wrong. I know exactly how many heat races and how many feature races you won last year-zero.*

For the betterment of the sport, how would you do it differently?

* By some odd coincidence, that's the same number of wins that Winged Speed had last year. ;)

You know who has some good heat race action? Port Royal. 
I know this is a Lincoln thread but I just don't think Port gets brought up enough around here. 

    OK. Maybe it's different on your planet, but for most races, the heat race affect where a racer starts in the feature race. If a driver doesn't think the heat races matter, I guess he could just scratch from the heat and opt to start dead last, since it doesn't matter where you start.

I have seen guys race really really realy really hard for the last tranffer or handicap spot.

You are everything that's wrong with this world now days. You can't have a discussion, or a diffrent opinion. If you do your wrong, stupid, or something else. 

You mimic the party in charge right now, just a spoiled, childish brat that always has to be right or they throw a tantrum.

I've been going to Husets, Jackson, and Knoxville since '83, and i like a good heat race now and then

I was gonna say what a great post this was unil I saw this: "You mimic the party in charge right now, just a spoiled, childish brat that always has to be right or they throw a tantrum."

NO POLITICS!

You could have made the point about BS Trawser without that sentence......

A) Not a "Port Faithful". I like both tracks, maybe Lincoln a bit better cause its smaller

B) You know damn well that Features are usually won from the front couple of rows, so heats DO matter

C) I drive 5 hrs. to see Pa. races & want the heats to be entertaining too.... how long do features last? 20 minutes or so? This is why I like formats that give heats more weight than qualifying

My apologies, i will watch that, his ranting just brings out the worst in a person somtimes.

i just feel thankful to be able to watch Sprint car racing on a regular basis and don't understand just whining about it all the time or putting people down for enjoying something you might not.

i guess he did let me know i don't think much of myself, and i need a Doctor. that was very kind

Which is why he does it, for attention. Someone has to be the Kardashian of the message board, it may as well be him.

OK, thanks!

Totally agree :)

English translation: "I will never admit I'm wrong, even if its obvious"

Looking forward to watch racing at Port this summer! :)

When winged strawser was a kid his mom had to tie a pork chop around his neck just so the dog would play with him, she also said he was the best looking and smartest boy in school.
