I wish those cats that run east bay would just pay the purse to get a week of racing like Volusia has. East bay use to be way better than Volusia and it all just went downhill. Low payout got them a whole 22 410's and 12 360's? It's just sad to me!
do it in the dirt

East Bay used to be the sh*t and we'd skip Volusia's follow the leader races to go there instead. Ever since the new owners took over and tossed the allstars out on their azz it hasn't been the same. I quit going to florida when they stopped racing at East Bay. I hate Daytona Beach and the corporate owned and operated Volusia track.

I am with yall, I think it is the most "IDIOTIC" track in america at this point.. How can you allow 360 sprints to race in the same race as the 410 sprints? You are just asking for someone to get hurt is all you are doing, and trying to pad your car count and hide the shame you have brought on 410 racing in west central florida.
East bay used to be nice before these guys who are in love with open wheel modifieds took it over, now the track has a shelf on the top of it, I wouldn't even call it one groove, hardly any banking and the car counts speak for themselves. It is obvious that they could care less about sprint cars. as the tradition of 25 or 26 years of sprint car history, 70 and 80 car counts and everyone starting out their years at east bay have gone thanks to these people. What a shame it has become. Hopefully one day someone that has respect for racing and each indivudial series will get their hands on east bay and bring back the tradition it has always been known for, not only for the sprints but for all the classes that have been shunned for personal intrests.
One last thing, Can someone tell us when the last time you heard of a 410 race anywhere that did not run a B-Main? How Pathetic.

Who doesn't allow 360s to race with the 410s? I didn't know it was 410s only? There are a lot of weekly 410 shows that don't have to run B mains.

Woo at I-96 last year had 3 heats and a A main, no B main needed. There are many 410 tracks that rely on 360's to fill the fields. Butler, MI a 360 racer actually won the track title against the 410's.
