    Are we seeing a trend

    Mud flow is right year after year this is talked about but no changes are made. I use to be an avid fan going to the track every weekend. But now I seldom go because of finances and the same guys winning all the time. I live in highland so I go and sit on the hillside to see who is in the pits...

    Highland Updates 3-26-16

    when i go to highland again i am going to set up my camera so all of you can see how much this happen's. that tire is it by the left front corner of the nose of the car. to say it's not happening is stupid when people in the stands can see it! the tires should be staked down.

    Highland Updates 3-26-16

    oh i agree, that tire should not been moved out like that. it reminded me of the summer nationals race there when pierce was on the bottom and pulling away and they did the same thing taking his line away too. i sit down in turn 4 it amazes me how that tire is nudged 6 inches at a time all the...

Please track promoters keep the show going! drivers be ready, officials be ready, and for god's sake use the damn tow truck that you drive out to the infield and park it...

    car counts vs too many classes

    I think a stock mod class might be the way to go. and another question is there to many tracks running the same classes? Highland started the b mods in the area remember how they got ripped for dropping the sportsman? and then other tracks followed suit. when bville races firday nights we have 2...

    car counts vs too many classes

    we can't ask Kevin or Ray to tear down their tracks we need to find things that work for all the big tracks as well the small ones. and we as race fans need to branch out and learn to appreciate the drivers in the other classes. i to went to tri city friday night to see the midgets and i to was...

    car counts vs too many classes

    with the ongoing talk of low car counts I often wonder on a normal race night what is the break even point with the tracks. Meaning how many cars in the pits and fans in the stands to make money. I think there are to many classes that are close together we have a & b mods crates and super lates...

    Belle-Clair Speedway not racing weekly next year in 2015? Saw this on the tracks Facebook page.

    the people have spoken tri city is the place to be, the closing of Belleville had nothing to do with racers not showing up its all about us not going to Belleville. so the blame is on us.

    0Your thoughs on UMP Good/Bad?? - Belle-Clair Speedway not so sure from a Facebook post I just read.

    As a fan I go to watch all of the classes I have seen better racing in the street stocks and hornets then in the big boy classes. But I also know racers so with that said we need a strong assoc. to police all drivers and classes. a racer will try anything to go faster and most of the time its...

    rip crate late models

    its been 10 years but I was a crew member on a late model team I remember asking the owner how much he had in the car before it hit the track I was shocked!!! that year we won the track championship but there was no way he made any money. That's why I thought the crate class was a good idea...

    rip crate late models

    cheating has been going on since the first car race. I do think there are to many classes but with the cost of racing to day there would not very many tracks open because of no cars. I will go to watch any thing race hell I was one of 6 people that watched the vintage cars last year at highland...

    rip crate late models

    It appears that the crate late model class is dead. Highland tried it but most crates ran with the supers and this year the car count is way down at tri city. the class is surviving in other parts of the country but not here. the question is does tri city even get enough cars to put on a decent...
