What I want to know is why the cars running the All Star series were at Port Royal?
If not for the rain the All Stars had a two race schedule at Attica this past weekend. Attica is a short track as is Lincoln. And probably half of the All Star schedule is made up of short track/bull rings like Lincoln.
How are some of these teams going to get better at running short tracks if they all go to their comfort zone any chance they get.
Just thought you can only get better at your weakness by working at it.

I'd guess that it's more like 75% of the all-star schedule is short tracks. A lot of western PA guys at Port also which is also a bit of a head scratcher since Lernerville is very similar to Lincoln but maybe they felt it would be better to get some track time on a big track and Port does have some big $$$ races, I'd say more than Lincoln. Who knows? PA seems to be the only place in the country where a lot of drivers like the 1/2 miles more than the bullrings. Looked like a packed house at Lincoln. Maybe they just need to promote better to get more cars, have more bigger paying shows that pay good through the field instead of just the winners share..

Can't believe some of you guys argue about two great tracks like Lincoln and Port Royal. The rest of us wish we had that "problem" of chosing. Be thankful for what you have.
I will retire back there in five years and probably be like Fixxxer - alternate, plus throw in some Grandview as I love the northeast modifieds, and a micro race somewhere now and then. And that's just Saturday nights!

Of course you're right
Gotta think its human nature... why do people get so emotionally involved in their pro football teams? Its just a bunch of overpaid guys playing football, hardly any of them are from the city they play in
I like PR, Lincoln, the Grove, BAPS, but best of all Path Valley... thats some real hillbilly track!

I have often wondered if a couple wild card payout spots deep in the field would help attract teams which know there is very little chance of finishing 1st. For example $500 extra for 6th and 12th but only announce the spot or make the draw with 5 laps left.
They do this type of thing in amateur horse racing where I live. It encourages beginners to take part cause there is always a random chance of winning something and helps pay the bills. It actually works very well.
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

Not a bad idea, IMHO. But you'll probably get grief for expressing it....

I actually asked a question in another thread to deflect all the pro google comments there.
