I'm glad that were gonna be racing a bunch of 2 night shows. But thinking back to 2 weeks ago...will the track even be worth showing up to on saturday night? Everytime the track comes apart, ruts up, dry's out, or slicks off everybody who defends the track crew talks about how it's a week long battle to have the track right for that night...how are they gonna turn it around in 24 hours and make it racy? Oh greg...love the avatar

Well, I know it's not HERE and that our dirt isn't theirs, but Eldora can do it overnight and multiple times in a week sometimes. Williams Grove does it every week - sprint cars only on Fridays, then stock cars on Saturdays - one guy, on a motor grader within five minutes of the checkered flag after the Friday show getting things started. Outlaws were gonna do it Tuesday/Wednesday in Ontario but got rained out both nights. Think of all the tracks in the country that run two-day shows during the course of a year (and in some cases w/the Outlaws, three consecutive nights) and tell me it can't be done.

Now, giving the track crew its props and admitting that I've never driven anything that resembled heavy equipment more than my riding mower, c'mon, how hard can it be? And who's to say that running on the track on back-to-back nights after a dose of TLC in between wouldn't potentially make for a BETTER show the back end?

Ya never know 'til ya try, and "can't" never did anything (OK, there are your two cliches for the evening ...)

I may be biased, but I think the track crew can get'er done if they can control the water on the track versus mother nature.

Lernerville Speedway in Pennsylvania does something I found interesting. They groomed the track during every single break in the action, pulling a V-shaped beam behind a tractor and going counterclockwise. When the track needed water, they send the tractor another with straight discs (not curved ones) that they lightly ran over the racing surface - just enough to make thin grooves in the surface - followed by a water truck that make a very quick lap around the track to spray, not drown, the surface ... just enough to "tacky it up" without making it slick. It worked. Track wasn't smooth like the ones I saw in Iowa, but it didn't rut up, either.

They can do it no doubt about it!

I'll be interested to see who chooses what this week, Clash or Fayetteville. Jim Shuffield said Craig's gonna run the Clash race at Wythe. Anybody know who else is going to which track?

And by the way, congrats to Rambo on a heckuva run in Ray Cook's Southern Nationals - tied Chris Madden for the championship but lost the tiebreaker on races won (5-3, Madden's favor). He's definitely back on his "A" game after those two bad Clash runs at Clary's and Fayetteville that cost him the points lead (but like he said, "Don't matter - they're gonna reshuffle the whole thing anyway" for the "Chase").

Its going to be whoever can afford to miss a race Craig cant miss another race or he is out of the Chase then there would only be 7 cars running for the title but FMS will still have a pretty good count cause it will be like old times Beasley,Taylor,Autry,Mason, The Blackwells and all them guys and finally a different winner lol
