I'm not a fan of Phoenix. It's not good racing. At this point, I'd restrict most tracks to bunch them up…ncsupack1 said:
^ the race for Phoenix standards was okay. Some cars could move in traffic others not so much. The 9 and the 22 are the big surprises of having a tuff go so far.

Bristol next... no more dirt.
I went to the first Bristol dirt race. Parked across the street in a store parking lot. Car was covered in a layer of dirt. Reminded me of when my dad and I would go to the races at Wilson County Speedway. Glad it's gone.ncsupack1 said:TheStorm said:I guess I'm just happy that we have racing to watch again.ncsupack1 said:

Thank God the dirt is gone!

I find it still pretty good. We have been going to the September race for a long time. What is hurting with this car is Richmond and Martinsville. Talk about lack luster....I sure hope they can figure it out. But I also go with the saying, never seen a bad race, just some are better than others. We still do our 8 races a year, and really enjoy it. Have you been to a race lately?caryking said:
Bristol sure has lost its luster, the past several years…. I went, to a night race, during the hey day.
Dirty lol. It was a good race but it wasn't Bristolncsupack1 said:Glasswolf said:I went to the first Bristol dirt race. Parked across the street in a store parking lot.

How was the race on dirt in person?
I haven't! The last I went to was the July race, in Daytona, where Dale Jr. won and Austin Dillon wrecked going across the finish line…ncsupack1 said:I find it still pretty good.

The next race I probably go to will be a F1 race, somewhere in Europe.
We can finally say "It's Bristol baby"!ncsupack1 said:

Yup, Ford on front row. Love seeing the 4 on the front row, SHR is slowly showing speed.Glasswolf said:
Blaney on the poll for tomorrow.
caryking said:
Well, I missed half the race, due to a much needed nap. That said, for me, that was a bizarre race. Outside of Toyota's running well, most of the day, drivers were moving forward, then moving backwards…. I don't know, I just couldn't get into it, for some reason…

The tire issue actually made the race better imo….put it back into the drivers hand.
