This is more drama than a high schoolers Facebook page.
Having said that....scales? Racetrack? Thats pretty basic. Why the outrage over expecting a racetrack (which has been operating 50+yrs) to have an official set of scales? Its bad enough nobody techs cars anymore, but no scales? Thats...
Theyve dicked with the rules so much over the last few years, its screwed up past the point of no return. Bill France has to be spinning. Dont watch it anymore. Millions of others dont either.
Sad.
I would like to rent a booth there to sell ear plugs. I hope it works out. I dont live in STL anymore and was sorry to hear yall got punked by Kroenke on the rams deal. Maybe this is a silver lining. We will probably drive in to see the folks and take in the race just to see if its a...
Hell ...if it goes over and is successful....as much work it is to make a track in there...they might as well have them every weekend for a month or so and make a winter series out of it or something. I want to believe it will be good racing but Indy was such a cluster, Its hard to imagine.
Well unless some of the seats for football are removeable (maybe so) I dont see how its going to be viable. I mean I hope it is....it sounds really cool. However if youve ever been in the dome for football....its not all that big ( the field area). 1/5 mi huh? I hope im wrong but I bet...
Sounds neat but it is not big enough. Ask the people who went to the one in Indy. It was a joke. Next theyll be filling it up and having bass tournaments in there. Give me a break. Again...sounds neat, but come on.
I understand Tri City track has been much improved since we moved from the area 10 yrs ago, and thats awesome. My point was... B mod is supposed to be sort of an entry level lower cost class. Having spoilers , 4 bar set ups and quick changes seems a little ridiculous. I wasnt crying...
Sorry. i meant spec motor. Not open motor. Ok I dont live in STL anymore....i just read this site because i like racing. Were USRA here. So that 4 bar , quick change, spoiler stuff isnt legal here. Good grief. Just run an A Mod. If thats what the rules are. Ive got a question...what...
You can run a spoiler?.. You can run 4 bar??? A quickchange???? If you have a 2 bar ,open motor (legal) with a 9" ford and you stay competitive....that would be really impressive.
First off im sure the heckler was drunk. Hecklers are for the most part card carrying a$$holes. Some though are funny and dont go too far. Anyway.....so a security guard "escorted Tony into the stands to confront? WTF is that? Would he escort some racer from fum buk Kansas into the...
I never understood the big deal about Tony Stewart in the first place. Not that impressive to me. Ive certainly seen better drivers than him. Hes ok I guess, but big deal. Even if the guy in the stands was being a " tool". If your such a big star racer, why stoop to that level? Hasnt...
They better not screw up the patina and character of FALS . The place is awesome. I hope they dont go overboard on tearing things down. If youve never been to a race there, check it out. The place reeks of dirt track ambiance. If you dont enjoy that joint, you dont like dirt racing.
Man those cars are total death traps. Took a real pair to drive those cars. I remember dad having it on the radio ( no tv coverage then). Good memories. Thanks for posting.
