WOW, who said the high speed freight train can't be great racing.  Port Royal needs to hand over there banner in turns 1 and 2 to Selinsgrove Speedway.  Great race last night.  Flat out every 30 laps during the feature!  Way to fast for the 69k.  Not even close enough to smell the leader exhaust.  9 seconds behind.  SG & Lincoln the best in the East.  Sorry Port Royal your track is bringing up the rear.  SG the real Speed Palace.

Selinsgrove is the high speed ring, hammer down all the way around. Why bring Port Royal and Lance into it? This is why people have to assume you are 10 years old. I dig Selinsgrove, I was there a few weeks ago, the racing was great but dusty as susky. I like being able to see the back stretch.from my seats on the front stretch. I hope Selinsgrove can fix that problem.

Really was not that dusty at all last night.

The top 4 cars were definitely "ripping the lip" at amazing speed. It was entertaining and nice to see the cushion up high at selinsgrove instead of around the middle. I don't know if they really needed to water the top before the feature. The racing is always best when you have a top and bottom groove in play instead of one lane being dominant. Still a great show. Great field of cars and massive crowd. BTW LD started 7th and finished 4th, not too shabby if you ask me.

It was moderately dusty up on the turn 1 hill. Safety glasses were needed but you could still see the whole track pretty well.

I'm sure Selinsgrove Speedway is embarrassed to have you as a fan. NOBODY wants to be associated with you and your "friend". Just go away. Nobody cares what you say, nobody believes what you say, including Lincoln and Selinsgrove. You're a flat out embarrassment to yourself and central pa racing in general.  As a central pa fan of the big 4 tracks, you have zero clue with anything. Lance was just fine last night. There was not much movement in the top 10 because everyone was top speed around the top, and personally, not really that great of a race besides the pass for the lead. this past Wednesday was clearly and obviously the best race of the week. And that was at Port Royal.

69k actually finished 5th 9 seconds (half track) behind the front four.  Rinehart was DQ giving him 4th spot.

I never cheered for Lance until he jumped in the 69k.  Now that Lance, Donny, and Davey are together I find myself cheering for them.  I think it is pretty awesome the wins they have had since they started together!!

True. I very much enjoyed Selinsgrove last night and it's my hometown track, but Port's feature Wednesday was the race of the week. Every heat at SG was won from the pole and there wouldn't have been a pass in the top 3 of the A if not for lapped traffic. The track was looking perfect for the feature but for some reason they felt the need to water the cushion. That works well with 360's and LM's who need the extra grip to make the top work, but 410's are a different animal. You kind of need to slow the top for the 410's at most tracks anymore to see the best racing. PS. How was that initial start not called back?

I wasn't at Selinsgrove last night. 

You have never been to Eldora, have you?  That place is always dusty.....so dusty that you need to take a shower each night after the races. The brown water runs like crazy!  Selinsgrove is dusty at times, but never that dusty. 

Port is normally too hard, black, and dry to be dusty. Wednesday night was the exception not the rule for Port.

Yes I agree with the start.  I believe Rinehart got screwed on that one.  I seen and heard him complain to an official after the race.  I guess it would not have mattered though with being light at the scales.

Here is a thought, move the Selinsgrove race back to the first Sunday of PA Speedweek and get rid of that shithole, BAPS. Dust, BAPS is disgusting. I don't mind some dust but getting sand blased is no way to enjoy a race.

Don't go to Eldora then.  You need to take a shower after the races every night. I love it because it is great racing drivers darting all over the track! I will never complain about dust as long as the drivers can get a grip on the track.
