that has to be one of the worse things about this sport. drive hours to see a "race" like that. It happens but it still beats a day at work.

That's cause Tulare cares!
A Smile weighs nothing.
So make it part of your daily diet!

Tulare is the best wing sprint car track in the state.
Cheers!

Totally agree! At Tulare they are always working the track.At Chico they could care less.I am praying for rain tomorrow because I dont want to see another race like I saw tonight!

It'll be another 20 years to drive back to Chico, if I live that long and can still drive. Not happy!

Chico IMO has turned into a shithole track sadly! Tulare definitely kicks Chico's ass. Glad I didn't go. Hopefully I get to see the new Merced 1/3 layout this next weekend.
Trophy Cup......Best race of the year hands down!

Hmmmm makes me think about my gold cup plans. Guess I could go to Antioch if I wanna catch a WoO race later this year. Go trophy cup. Didn't the same track conditions happen at the gold cup last year ? I remember it was so bad they had a tractor out there for over an hour and they shaved off about 6 inches of dirt then the track rubbered up so bad it was like pavement.
We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

I've been to Chico for three nights of racing this year and two out of three had a one lane follow the leader track. I agree with others that Tulare is the place to go and the Trophy Cup format rocks.

Chico is a joke now. Why did they flatten the track? Ocean Speedway is the best 1/4 mile track in California. The outlaws need to go there if they want multiple grooves to run on with great track prep. They should move the GoldCup to Watsonville. I will NOT GO TO ANOTHER RACE AT CHICO THE REST OF THE YEAR.

Who is responsible? I don't understand why they can't or won't rework the track, especially when there was plenty of time to do so prior to the features. Don't scrape it like last yr., logic tells me some water or tilling on the bottom of the track would even out the speeds at the top and bottom. I don't think the outlaw boys like that idea though.

What did Saldana say??? Everyone that went last night needs to call Dennis Gaige directly or at least send a letter to the business office telling him about your experiences last night. Maybe tell him that he should turn over promoting duties that actually want to promote and have some general knowledge of PROMOTION (the true definition) and track operations. Start by getting rid of the track prep crew cause if your not good at paving road and do it for a living you shouldn't be working a dirt racetrack. Get rid of his right hand man and listen to the racers instead and maybe you'll have a couple left. Chico has been f*cked for years its just getting closer to rock bottom at a far quicker rate now.
I really hope that something can be done to resurect this place. I grew up there, still live 10 minutes away and race there every week but have made the decision to go elsewhere and only go to SDS if I have to. Three races this year on this great new track that is supposed to have better racing and the first night was way to hooked up with the track being faster in the main than it was in qualifying if it wasnt for larson just going big balls on everyone there would have been nothing entertainging to watch, then you get the ice rink the next night which mabe for a great race around the bottom and by what I was told about last night that it was rubber down in the heats. I hope they race tonight and I hope it is the same way so maybe even more people will stand up to the powers that be at SDS and force them to make a change or give up the track to someone new.

I was really close to loading up for the 8 hr drive to Chico thursday night, knowing it would probably only be one night of racing. After listening to Johnny last night make a BIG deal about a battle for the 23rd spot. I`m glad I saved 200.00 dollars in gas. Guess I`ll have to go a little further south to Tulare to check that out. I`m seeing some folks who used to defend Chico now bitching. Not a good thing!

i have been coming here to chico for the mini and the gold cup for thirteen years now, last night was pathetic. i whole heartidly agree that something needs to be done immediately, if not sooner before the fan base goes away for ever. dennis gage, make it happen!
Ascot was the greatest of all time..
West Capital wasn't half bad either..
Life is good...

Hey Bad! Maybe instead of running your mouth about the promoter, you should first get the facts. This race was literally promoted by the World Racing Group all by themselves. WRG was also in charge of track prep. If you want to insult people, at least make sure you know which one's to insult. Its a known fact the track sucked thanks to WRG. Hammer them in this case.
