Here's the kicker: he doesn't go to those places. He sits at home watching lap times. Port's surface sucked Saturday. That he's right about. Once again, if that had been Williams Grove or Lincoln people would be bitching to no end but since it's Port, they were ok with it but that's a whole different subject. That said, despite the bad track, the 2nd feature ended up being a good race. Port has been very good lately. Saturday, they just missed it a little bit but it was still good enough for some decent racing. I was there and I was entertained. The dust made it a bit difficult to watch because from where I sat, turn 4 was pretty much invisible but all in all, it was a good night. I don't care what track it is, they all miss on track prep sometimes. Saturday it was dry and very breezy. I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. I think it would've been a lot better if they'd watered the outside like they usually do but that isn't my call to make. Either way, I still had way more fun being there than I would have sitting at home watching lap times looking for something to bitch about. Strawser needs to get a life. 

One thing I love about Port is the residential houses off the back stretch. Is this track right in the community?  Seems like anyone going over the back wall might end up bouncing on some toddlers trampoline.

Wife took me to the Grove in 2017, it was great, just wish we could have hit 3 or 4 of the tracks in the same week.

I watched it on speedshift last night along with Lincoln and Stateline Speedway.  We also had dirtvision running.  Some good racing but from all these tracks....but, I swear someone has stolen the water truck keys! Most of these tracks were wore out before the features started rolling out onto the track.....in some cases it was like racing on aspalt.  Since the early  80's I have been going to dirt track racing and I don't like what I am seeing at all these tracks.  There is very little excitement anymore at these tracks.  They better wake up soon.  Nobody want to see napcar type racing!

Dude - Did you read up on your twitter account from about a month ago?

I come here once or twice a week, but ever time i leave shaking my head at BStrawser26.  I made a comment about him a month or so ago, but my comment went missing, so i guess i upset him.  

He bitches so much about Port but has not went there this year.  He's been to Lincoln 2 times.  I guess if i went to the races as much as him i would have more time to sit on here and run down Port.  It gets old, real old.

back in the 80's I used to go every Friday.... Saturday... and Sunday.  In the 90's I went every once in a while.  Now, I barely go....why you ask track conditions and I don't mean dusty. This problem  has been at a lot of tracks lately.  We have been watching on dirtvison and speedshift. Tracks are wore out way before the features start. These tracks need to bring back the excitement....the way they are prepared this year equals very boring racing for the feature.  I will never say anything about it being dusty.... dusty doesn't mean the track is wore out.  At some tracks if it's dusty you are going to see a great feature without the track being wore out.

When you watch on TV you don't see the entire race.   The races this year and the past 4-5 years at Port have been better then they been since i started going to the races in the mid-late 80's.  You have to see the entire race not what you see on TV.  I don't go to the races for the track conditions, i go for good racing.  If they are running 15 second laps or 19 second laps, if the racing is close who cares?  Sprint car racing isn't made for TV, you don't get the experiece you get when your at the track.   

I watched this race on speedshift.  

So let me get this straight. You don't go to the race track anymore to watch the races because of track conditions but still pay to wacth them online? If the racing is so "boring" why are you still buying it?? Sounds like quite the contradiction to me ...
