One thing NASCAR should explore.....The season has road courses, short tracks, mile tracks, 1 1/2 mile tracks and the big tracks...BUT..NO DIRT TRACKS!!!! I know there is a special, non-schedule, dirt race for some of the drivers, but not a legit, part of the season, points race. Should be interesting, entertaining and would probably draw a great crowd. As they say: "Dirts for racing..Asphalt is just for getting there".
That's a shame. But the sad part is, it's happening all across the country. My two local dirt tracks are still "kickin", Winchester, Va. and Hagerstown, Md.. Winchester is a 3/8 mi. and Hagerstown is a 1/2 mile track. Both have some "serious" short track racin' every Saturday night. (in season). Hopefully, the Sadler Bros. will still follow through.
Well stated Joseph!! A friend of mine, who drives a dirt late model at our local tracks, said he has stopped going to NASCAR races, due to the "follow the leader" racing (?). We were at a shopping center the other day and he pointed at the shopping carts lined up in the rack and he said "looks like a NASCAR race from lap 2 to lap 499". Long live the local short tracks!!!!
"Mama Deer" will come back in the evening and take him/her away for the night...but Max, Don't be surprised if the Fawn is back in the area the next day. Once it gets a little "older" it'll be grazing with Mama. Thanks for the Beautiful Post!!
THANK YOU MR. CAMPBELL!!!!!!! Sometimes it's actually torture to sit and watch some of the so called "STARS", BUTCHER the National Anthem. THANK you for being a TRUE PATRIOT....The Virginia Tech folks will MAKE YOU PROUD!!!!. .....GO HOKIES!!!
Dave....I wasn't bored at all with the race....i'm never bored while i'm SLEEPING!! Ha Ha. Like you, if i catch the first 10 laps and the last 5, well, that's good enough, because you'll see replays everyday until the next race.
This was my "home track" when i was growing up..oval and drags. I just love how builders, build and sell homes, etc. right next to ESTABLISHED racetracks..and then the people who buy the homes, etc., know full well, there's a racetrack nearby, and then start complaining about the "noise". Jeesh, get a life! Maybe the racers should file complaints about all the congestion they have to go through, just to get to the track every week, due to the builders and home owners. As good ole Charlie Brown would say..GOOD GRIEF!!!!!
