Dirt Track Racing

***Spud6*** · 05-09-2011, 09:39 PM

How many people on here do we have that are into Dirt Track Racing? From 4-cylinders, Bombers, Open-wheels, and Late-models. I know of Redneck being a driver of the #44 Open-wheel. But how many users on here go watch it or maybe even race on Saturdays or Fridays?

I LOVE it!

I used to go every friday and saturday to Isom and 201 when I was a senior. Don't get to go to much now with the kids.

What was your favorite class to watch?

I used to go to Eldora, Thunder Ridge, 201, Florence, etc. back when I was in high school. I was always a Scott Bloomquist fan who ran late models, but haven't been to a dirt race in many years.

I use to go to Eldora and Thunder Ridge when I was very young with the Rainers from out in P-Burg. Late Models were my fav. we use to go and watch Tony Stewart pretty frequently.

Open Wheels are exciting but Stock 4s are the best!

This is awesome. I didn't know we had such a big fan base of dirt track racing.

Dirt track is the only true fan friendly form of racing left. I have been to 201 a couple of times and really enjoyed it. One of the best dirt tracks in the US used to be located in Martin Ky. That was where Ranier Racing got their start. I had family who raced there, so I was at the track every weekend when I was a kid.

You got that right.

I went one time when some of the big dogs were there for a late model race.

Yeah supposed to be double features this Saturday!

With 201 not running this year, the only races I'll be willing to goto is Portsmouth for the Lucas Oil Series.

***Spud6*** · 05-24-2011, 10:31 PM

^I heard 201 may be bought out by Tony Stewart.

**vundy33** · 05-25-2011, 12:54 AM

^^^That'd be pretty cool..

***Spud6*** · 05-25-2011, 07:57 PM

^That's my favorite track to watch late models on. It would be a very good investment if you ask me.

**BlackcatAlum** · 05-26-2011, 02:17 PM

201 is just in a terrible location for any big name drivers or investments to goto.

The only track around here that was worth anything was Thunder Ridge, but they made more money from horse racing then dirt track racing. The Kinzers tried to buy it, but too much money is made from the horse racing to sell it.

Don't get me wrong though I enjoyed watching races at 201, but it's just in a bad location. Same goes with Isom.
