I don't just like racing....I love it!! It is what makes my heart pound! I will not tolerate subpar track prep! Sorry, I work to hard for my money! I hope Eldora is just as fast and unrully tonight!!

Well Stawser, better turn it off for the night. Tony just announced they are going to try to get the track to slick off faster and be a bit racier tonight. Better go find some YouTube videos of F1 time trials.

They are still flying around the track!!! And again in the 12 second bracket in TT. Very fast at the beginning of the night. Making a very good feature.
The heats shouldn't be your best racing......like one race track in central PA!!! The very slow and boring palace!
Let's go Sprint Car Racing!
Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

The Sharks pass 22 cars tonight and Donny and Shane go backward big time, Rico is under weight and the thread titled Governors Reign is about the track surface in PA.
How did Eldora get a good surface if it's in Ohio? Thought someone said they are all dusty!!
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

Looked dusty to me. I've never seen Devils Bowl get dust like that. Of course, I rarely see racing that good at Devils Bowl either...

All I can say is gravel and his team have a unbelievable set up for eldora. His arms are barely moving in the car. If you didn't like that finish your hopeless.

I don't see how you could possibly say DirtVision was too much at $39.99 per month. Having said that, Flo is awesome value as well, and their app makes it alot easier to casually watch their content.
Once DV gets their long-awaited app, I think people will realize how much content they actually have. NY Super Dirt Series modified tour is coming to DV in 2021.
|
I am going to nitpick here because some folks may not realize some of the tricks that DirtVision plays. I believe their "Monthly" service is false advertising because DV charges us $39 for a 28 day period ONLY, not a full month. So we actually pay about $1.39 per day for the service. For a 30 day month, we have to pay $41.78 plus tax and for a 31 day month we have to pay 43.17 plus tax. It doesn't seem like much but if they really do have 10,000 monthly subscribers then this little trick is making them a lot of extra dollars because their subscribers will get billed 13 times per year.
When we buy a “Yearly” sub from Flo we actually get 365 or 366 days of service. No tricks.
Reminder - Tonight there is a WoO race on DirtVision.
Edited to use correct monthly charge of $39, not the 39.99 a originally stated.

It goes to show you the difference between the 2 series. 7 of the top 11 WoO regulars, top finishing all star regular was 13th. The All Stars do a great job organizing their shows that attract the best regional talent like in Central Pa and the Midwest, but the C main last night was a good example of a typical All Star show when they don't have the opportunity to attract any top talent from elsewhere.

Good overview of DirtVision compared to FLO
Flo has been incredible this year. DV has to really up their game in 21, especially as it relates to the value

Gravel thanked all the usual folks but he left out maybe the most important one. The dash pill draw girl. DG got the best number possible and Larson got the worst one possible. If they had switched pills it might have been a snoozer.

I went full monty with Flo at the beginning of last year and I've never looked back.
Kyle should be getting show up money.
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

I don't think his point was about the show quality...............it was about the fact that the WoO are a step above the All-Stars. I agree with him.

You know, if you want that shit to end, make a loud enough noise. We hate the Dash redraw.

I'd make a small change, because you can't just run an entire night where the quick qualifier wins his heat and automatically starts first in the dash. The change I would make is the heat winners pick from a selection of 1-4 and 2Nd place pick from a selection of 5-8 when there are 4 heats. That way it makes winning the heat very important and takes away the possibility of Someone timing 1st and winning his heat and starting 8th in a dash.
This is a change I'd make to the woo format, the all star dash format is beyond repair when you have half the a main cars in a dash.

I dont know all the ins and outs and pros and cons of the Ascoc dash set up but generally speaking I like that they reward top qualifires. Seems like an incentive to time well. What if they took the winner of each heat and the fastest qualifier from each group. 6 or 8 drivers that way most nights.
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!
