It's pretty much the same situation here with my local track. Even Pro 602 is only winning $500 for first place with a $100 entry fee plus requirements to buy gas from the track at $10 a gallon. I know I'm going to be coming out of my pocket to sustain this but I understand what you mean. It's...

Seems I didn't get any bites here. I've talked to some local guys since I've posted this and I'm going to be looking at some used/built cars in the coming months (no engine of course). The class I'm looking at is Stock 4. We're also going to look into a 602 car but I doubt we're going to get...

Hey guys, my Dad is coming up for retirement next year and we're tossing around the idea of maybe building a car and going racing. It was something we always wanted to do when I was younger but we didn't have the money back then and he didn't have the time with the constantly working out of town...

I always felt the old config was better hopefully it's as good as it used to be with the modern cars.

I'm sure some of the older posters will remember the days when you had to put a car on the frontstrech pits to have a shot at winning. I can't remember who it was but I recall watching a race as a kid (early 90s) where a driver either won or came very close to winning while pitting from the...

His story is actually a little more complicated than that. He claims that when he was initially told that he failed it was for amphetamines which at the time he had just been prescribed for ADHD. He was asked to fax over medical records to prove he was taking them under the direction of a doctor...

All I said was don't spread a rumor. That's why this entire Mayfield situation has always been a huge argument. It was common knowledge that a lot of people did a lot of things on most of the jobs I've worked on and most of the time I found it 1. It wasn't true 2. It was partly true but blown...

So a rumor? Why should I believe you? Drop details or don't mention it. Even if he did drugs people change and have probably gotten away with more while driving a race car. If he can pass the drug tests there is no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to drive.

He didn't have it on him. They searched his house/property due to the stolen goods and claimed to have found meth residue on a bag inside of a gun case in his house. It doesn't look good but he was never caught with the drug itself on his person.

I like to give Mayfield the benefit of the doubt but I'll admit it was hard after hearing about the stolen goods on his property and the meth in a bag in a gun case. I wouldn't have issues with him coming back because the guy seems to really love racing. If he's clean and can pass a drug test I...

With my Dad watching on a C-band dish with no commercials from the time I was in diapers. First races in person were at 311 speedway where I used to play with my diecasts and fall asleep on the front stretch concrete on a blanket while the cars roared by. When I got a little older (probably 1990...

Anyone have the details on what happened with his seat during the fatal crash in 1989? I know it was improperly mounted and they changed some rules the next year but I'd like to hear any details from anyone that might have been around back then. I recently watched that Atlanta race again and I...

I came back today after about a year or more away. It's really bad here now and that's exactly why.

Where is your preferred seat at? I've always wanted to go to a race at Dover. Not going to make it this year but I may go next Spring or Fall. How are the seats in turn 1?

I wasn't aware it was repaved but that still doesn't take care of the issue that keeps coming up every time they race there: it's too narrow to upgrade the barriers. I'm aware it's owned by ISC but that still doesn't mean they won't bump it in favor of another track.

Not to be a downer but I'm always sceptical of NASCAR anytime they start making changes. With the addition of the ROVAL and all the talk of Watkins Glen armco barriers being dangerous along with the spectacular crashes we've seen as of late in the more narrow parts of the track does anyone else...

I think the excuse was that it was for the spectators. By shortening the distance they added more laps which meant the cars would pass all the spectators more often. I can't remember the reason given back then because it has been so long now.

Sorry for the wall of text. Just remembered that the devices had apps for the channel but our cable/satellite service hadn't partnered with them at the time. So basically, even though I was paying for the service I wasn't allowed to access it through that application back then. A lot of the...

When I set it up for my Dad last year a couple of the channels didn't have a proper app or I had issues with it being able to stream properly without constant jutter. When that happens it's easier to stream it directly from my own PC with whatever source I find for the race. Sometimes I'll...

Wanted to take a poll to see what devices most people here usually watch on and what provider they're using. You can vote multiple times because I know a lot of folks are probably using multiple devices. For me it depends. We have a cable subscription just for certain sports. If I watch it...
