If a certain someone bitches about tonight's surface, he is a flat out troll.
Damn, it's fast. Tearing up some equipment though.
Also, YukYuk and Chuckles are driving me nuts announcing on Flo.

I already complimented them on there surface tonight. That is sprintcar racing...not the slip and slide they normally produce.

Yes, kudos to the Port track crew tonight! Tore up the track and watered it pretty heavy. Much better racing all night especially the feature. Track was still tacky even after the feature. Too fast for the 69K as he went backwards?

No, I think Dewease realized the track wasn't racey and saved the motor in the 69k. 2 more nights will see. The 72 looked slow, Hefner better get some horsepower between the frame rails.

Blake anderson during heat 3 on Friday..." We are already slower than the feature times last night...and when the track slows down and gets slick, that's when the racing really gets sporty".
And 90% of the drivers and fans cannot disagree with that!

I hate to tell everyone....the race was just as good if not better on Thursday night than tonight. There was probably more passing in the feature on Thursday. The slip and slide at it boring worst. After tonight they need to rename that place the slow palace!!

Sorry, disagree. I can watch F1 if I want to watch cars go really fast with no passing

Another great race tonight. Before anyone (a certain someone in particular) starts giving me a case of the ass, no, I wasn't there (wish I was!). I'm watching Flo.
You guys back there should be proud to have a place like that.
Can't wait for tomorrow night. Hard not to pick Dewease. That car gets off the bottom in 2 & 4 better than anyone. He made the middle groove work too.

Yea, I'm sure you would have seen passing like that Thursday. As I said earlier, the 69k team should give classes on racing smart. Heavy tracks show nothing because everyone is on the gas, last night you saw the guys with finesse get to the front. You hear Lance say in his interview that Macri just needs to be a little more patience ? Great race, great.
On another note, the 72 should stay home for the Saturday night show. Embarrassing to say the least. Visible that they don't have the motor to run with these guys. Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see any speed from them at all.

Well now you are saying more motor for the 72 but it takes finesse. That's talking out of 2 sides of your mouth.

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, and I was just watching on Flo. For me, there was no comparison. Friday night was FAR more entertaining to watch than Thursday night was. Maybe there was more passing, I don't know. I do know this-----a 3-car battle for the lead that lasts 10 laps trumps anything else that happened on Thursday night in my opinion. I thought Friday night was exciting and Thursday night was a runaway snoozer. I didn't get to see much of the action deep in the field, but I saw no movement at all on the scoreboard. What was I missing?
Also, what is everyone's obsession with highest speed possible? If I show up at the race track and it's heavy and fast, I'm disappointed. Am I the only one? I didn't think last night looked like a skating rink at all. I thought the speeds were just right as witnessed by the battle at the end.

Everyone's obsession is actually 2 guys who may be one guy who posts their reviews of every Port race using the same lense over and over and over again. If its a fast track and a freight train main event, "that's sprint car racing!" If it's a slick track with multiple battles for the lead, "that sucked".
Rinse and repeat.

It's not likely that I will ever attend a race at Port Royal living in Minnesota but I watched on Floracing and I won't miss many whenever it's on tv after last night. I'm used to 410 Heats scrambling for position in the first turn and going single file for the rest of the race. The Port had race long battles in multiple Heats and the Feature was entertaining from start to finish.
Having both Floracing and Dirtvision I have to admit that the product the All Stars are putting out there this season stacks up well. I had the choice between All Stars at Port and a 22 car WoO show and opted for the All Stars. Their shows are more often than not the most entertaining of all the options on any given night.
I can see why PA fans are so passionate about their racing. Who wouldn't be if they had those tracks available to them to attend?

I will take a high speed flat out snoozer any day over a 1/2 throttle show that micros and can go that fast at the slow palace. If people wants to see a slip and slide show then why so then why do we need 900 hp 410 engines. Just put 4 cylinders in them and they will do about the same speed.
