Does anyone else think that this class is about as exciting to watch as a root canal? Seems like every race i have seen except Selinsgrove is just single file little to no passing follow the leader and hope they break or wreck? I have seen several races at Williams grove,Lincoln speedway & 1 at Port Royal and quite honestly the Late models,pro stocks and thunder cars put on a better show than the 358 sprints? Just my opinion but am i the only one who feels this way?

Worst hug the bottom racing I have seen in years.
On a psotive note, they are getting way less cars so they are not pissing the night away with extra wrecks, consis and spin outs.
It is much easier to get up and leave when you know exactly how crappy the racing is going to become when the 410 feature is over.
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

No your right it's awesome watching one yellow flag after another for blown tires?

The 358 racing on Friday at Williams Grove was great and it is on most weeks. Lincoln's surface seems like it tends to be shot by the time 358s are running their feature, that and the competition level is lower (no Cannon, Nouse, Tomecek, etc. etc.)
If you prefer Late Models, and especially Pro Stocks or the Thundercars to 358s, you aren't much of a sprint car fan. Those races are about as boring as it can possibly get. Wish they never ran those series with sprint cars as the primary support class, but I can live with Thundercars at Lincoln as they help to fill what would otherwise be dead time.

I applaud the people who stay for the 358's at the Fabulous and the Cow Palace...There's less traffic to deal with for me when the 410 feature is over...

Does the fact that I leave after the 410 feature mean that I'm not much of a sprint car fan...?... :/

I don't prefer them but watching a train go in circles is not very entertaining! The shows at the grove are not any better most weeks in this class!

This is just beyond incorrect. This week was good. Nouse/Cannon fighting almost the entire race was good the other week, and Cannon having to run from 12th to front otherwise is good. Give me a break, Williams Grove usually has great 358 races.

They put on a fantastic show at Selinsgrove, too bad they've only been getting around 20 cars. Lately the 358's at Williams Grove have been mostly huggy pole around the bottom in the feature. You can't seem to win a 358 race at the grove running the top anymore although the 1W tried his best on Friday. I guess there isn't much track left after the 410 feature. Never been to Trailways but I hear they put on a good show there as well.

Trail Way is perfect for the 358's...Going back when the URCrazies are @ the Cow Palace...
