Another great night of 410 spring car racing last night at Lincoln.  Still proves to be the absolute best prepared track in Pa if not everywhere. 3 wide, flat out racing all night and even after all racing, very little dust.  Keep up the great work!!

Racing at the Grove the night before was much better.

I agree.  The features at Williamsgrove were better than Lincoln.  I was at Lincoln and it was good, but the grove was better.

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

But no one has mentioned the once again perfect track prep at Port.  You know, the surface that provides the best 2 finishes of the weekend anywhere in the UMP modified class. 

Where is the place you call the Port o potty.  I live in Juniata county and don't know of any dirt track in the county.  I heard they have an asphalt track somewhere though in the county.  Heard is was a 1/2 mile track and close to Rutters. 

Havn't been that way for many years....used to go that way every saturday night.  NOT anymore!

I cant comment on the Grove as I was not there.

OMG!  Anyone who thinks 21 second lap times for Sprint Cars is great when then I will stay away from that track.

So if you were only at Lincoln, what are you conmparing it to?

Saturday was good but nothing to write home about. I think we can all agree that Lincoln usually provides good to great racing. I also think that other than 2 (possibly 1) person(s) on this board, we can all agree that Port usally provides good to great racing. What I'm wondering is when the Fabulous is going to step up to the plate and start paying like a top Saturday night 410 track should. $7300 is only $1300 more than a regular all-star purse. Non 410 tracks Bridgeport ($12,000) and Bedford paid better on Thursday and Sunday nights with less cars and less fans. That's just embarassing! Tracks in NY last week paid more. The all-stars have raced 3 times so far at Port Royal for 10G, 10G and 29G. They have 3 more coming up next week - 8G, 10G and 55G! Lincoln's big all-star race the following week pays 20G. C'mon Lincoln, loosen up the purse strings. You have a good fan base and draw the most cars. The teams deserve more!

Easy to watch. Every race 1 and 2 starters finished 1 and 2 except the 2 races Kendall was in and those 2 were also front row winners. Great "racing" indeed 

That is time trial racing at it best.  

Wasn't that way at Bedford, Grove or Bridgeport guess they didn't time trial.

Don't start again....

You've been a good boy lately

i don't see how the lap times matter aside from fall off on longer races related to tire wear.  that's generally a good thing because it shows who can manage their tires.  i've never been to a great race - and most of them are great at port like their modified feature saturday night - and looked back at lap times to decide whether i should still call it a great race.

I wouldn't want to watch and E-Mod race to save my rear end, especially at the Slow Palace.  Just because somebody wrecks the leader on the last lap doesn't mean it was a good race.  

But yet you will be there 4 or 5 times in eight days starting this Sat. I am not sure which dumb and which is dumber. Going and complaining or not going and complaining.

the biggest question for wingedspeed/strawser...

what do you think about the dinners from the lutheran church during fair week?  

you're a real hater if you can find a problem there.  

I will tell the truth about that asphalt track.

Well to help keep you informed, I am planning on being there this Saturday night, Monday and the Tuscy 50.  Mainly due to the fact it is fair week.

Love their food!  Them and Shumans sausages are the best food stands there at the fair.
