The track surface was awful. It was dusty during the heat races. I'll never go there until they fix the track prep.

Yea, but can you "handle the truth"???? ;)

What the hell heats were you watching? You are a freeking idiot

I realize that you don't go to the races in person, but you do realize that the dirt on dirt tracks comes in different colors, don't you?

Hey, I'm just looking at a little computer screen, same as the Strawsers. A fan of the #44 team has posted their heat race and the feature on Youtube. Both are dusty. 

All I hear about Pennsylvania is how bad all their race tracks are. I dont think I'll ever go to another one again in my life.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

Winged strawman, that was good racing, DD gave up that lead to the 71 to easy. The 8 and the 13 were coming that's for sure. The race at the port was also a good race.

You're obviously joking... Right????

How do you keep track of which account your signed in under?  Doesn't it get confusing?

Actually a damn good point....

I've always wondered what the difference is between driving on Knoxville black "gumbo" & red Pennsyltucky clay

Maybe somebody who's driven can enlighten us?

Maybe thats why Brownie is great at Knoxville & mediocre in Pa.?

& Why Posse never wins Knoxville Nationals? (although Gravel learned there.... ZERO dirt tracks in Connecticut!)

You just can't handle the truth!

Anyone who thinks PA has bad track surfaces has never been to Ohio (and I live in Ohio!)

HA!  Name the driver.  Also, comparing tire wear in this day and age is nothing but a cop out.  Port produces great races dang near every week.  Even the Lucas Oil guys thought the track was awesome.  Too bad you have an axe to grind with Port for some reason and will never give them credit for one single thing.  Also, it is such a coincidence that both you and Straw have the exact same opinion on exactly everything about both Port and Lincoln but neither of you hardly ever bring up andy other central PA track.

Just a bit of dust at times at the Ohio tracks.  That's why goggles sell so well in our state.

Goggles don't do shit when the dust is so bad you can't see the backstretch.

did anybody see what happened between rahmer and borden saturday night at lincoln?  freddie pulled a really tight slider on borden off of 4 while they were racing for the lead.  borden crossed over and was underneath freddie going into 1.  freddie drove into him going into the corner which spun borden out and ended his night.  the post race interview made me think freddie didn't even realize he wrecked him.  he said he was glad he could get the lead before the caution came out like he didn't know the caution was for him wrecking borden.

this was a little worse for me than the wagner-macri deal since freddie almost wrecked him twice.  my only beef with freddie is he makes little passive aggressive comments about other drivers like dietrich in some of his interviews.  he races as hard as some of these othe guys at times.  

I guess you can you look at this incident totally different depending on who you root for (and I am a huge Freddie fan). In my opinion, Borden was a little impatient and stuck his nose under Freddie going into the turn and got spun out. Just a racing deal. I think Borden is a rising talent in the sport, but his inexperience and mechanical mistakes have cost him a few wins lately. He just needs seat time and experience. Hopefully he is not feeling too much pressure from his car owner Mike Heffner and pressing too hard?

I think Borden called it a racing incident on Twitter, it looked to me like hard racing for the lead late in the race. 

i thought borden showed a lot of maturity but not hopping out of his car and getting upset like he did at one point last year.  even better if he didn't create drama on twitter.  

i'll bite my toungue (sore of) on your heffner comment.  i've been beaten up here in the past for questioning the almighty mike heffner.  he seems to be taking a more developmental approach by investing in briggs danner's team on top of hiring an up and coming driver.  the question is whether he'll give them time to improve.  i think borden has done well in that ride with wins at a couple different tracks i believe.  briggs is racking up wins in the usac east coast series and showing some early promise in a winged car.  i'm curious if some of the push to run 410 wing stuff comes from heffner and i hope briggs doesn't take on too much too early especially if that's not the route he wants to go.

if these kids get pushed and don't win...they could be shown the door..and neither driver deserves to have their confidence ruined at this stage of their careers.

Barb doesn't have to go to a lot of races to be an expert on "hard, black and dry"
