Only for protecting the ends of walls and poles. Using them in the corners like Tri CIty is ridiculous. I love the track but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. I've fixed a lot of damage to an A-mod from those things - in 2013 there were at least 3 A mods that flipped after hitting those, and...
Well after reading the first page - I will say this. If you do as someone said and "drop the late models and A mods" - you are done as a track. And "leaving them for the big money tracks"??? If there are none racing on a weekly basis - then WHERE are you going to get the ones for "the big money...
The current horsepower on hard tires and no spoiler sounds like a crashfest waiting for a race to happen... Leave the rules alone. If Ya can't afford the HP there are other classes you can race in.
My biggest thing is that they need to go with EITHER Street Stock OR Sportsman. Stupid to have...
Well in my opinion - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A Mods are probably the most popular class at most tracks - both in car count and fans. Leave the A rules alone and change the B's so that there is a significant noticeable difference between them and the A's. Why mess up a good class by...
I can't imagine how much it must cost to run a full time traveling Late Model team... Surprised as many guys do it as there is. Not knocking it - just saying the cost must be astronomical...
Not totally related - but in my opinion I-55 and Tri City would be smart to get together and either run Sportsman OR Street Stocks. Get rid of one or the other so the guys could run both nights... And maybe run 4 cyl one week and B-Mods the next.
Well I was there all 3 nights. What a stellar event it was! Kevin, Tammy, and everyone else working at the track deserve a hand for all the hard work. Super racing action, nice track, etc.
That said - I agree that some things could have been done to speed things up. Running hot laps before...

Congrats to Ems - nice race last night!
Kevin Graf won a feature at St Charles Speedway back in the day. Looking to start winning them at Tri City - getting closer!
That sucks beyond belief... :( Everything including the 4 wheeler...
Don't know if vehicle insurance covers trailers and contents - but I sure hope so. My my my...
Did anybody see or video the big crash on the frontstretch? We were in the infield and none of us saw the beginning - just the end. Not trying to stir anything up - just curious what happened....
Changing the rules in this area won't help anybody out. You have to keep them the same as a large area of the country runs so that the guys who want to travel once in awhile can - without changing a bunch of stuff. Like UMP is now. I think that tracks should run 4 classes - LM, Mod, Cratemodel...
