Hmm, not sure if I would give an approval.  I was there and the track during the feature was extremely dusty.  Kyle said in victory lane that he had trouble seeing.  From the pit grandstands it was difficult at times to see the backstretch action because of the dust.  It was not in my eyes, but there was a tremendous amount of dust above the track.  The only thing that saved the fans was the wind blowing out to turn 3.  J. Gibson commented on the wind direction earlier in the evening.

Dry and dusty are fine with him as long as it's not Port Royal.

Expect Dust?? And this from the guy who constantly bashes Port Royal?  Are you not the guy that constantly asks for the water truck at the speed palace?  Correct me if I am wrong.  Cushion all the way around??  That's why several went off of turn 2......even in qualifying!!  Were you paying attention to the cars coming in and out of 4?  They were not exactly having an easy time negotiating the cushion at that end of the track.  

Oh I could see the cars as well, but Larson himself said it was difficult to see.  Go back and witness it on dirtvision.  I wondered the safety of the drivers even before Larson made the statement in victory lane.

Sorry, but I do not go to a dirt track expecting dust......not that thick.  Unfortunately the number of years I have been attending dirt track races in Ohio, I have found more dust storms than I care to remember.....Sharon, Wayne County, Limaland, Muskingum.  It seems to be the case in Ohio in my experiences.  Sorry, not picking on Ohio, but that is what has been my experiences.  Will I go back to these tracks.....yes, as I know that it is not an exact science each and every night.  

You want to experience the track that I have experienced the least dust?  Go To Lernerville.  They rarely miss on the surface.  Whether it is wet or dry-slick, you almost never get dust.
