People who aren't even close to being sober driving race cars and wrecking people then starting fight need to be kicked out permanently and the track should be responsible for allowing it all year after year. Instead they decide to cut pay in classes that are smaller without notice to the drivers beforehand so they can decide whether or not they want to risk the damage and repairs for much less than the advertised payout or not paying drivers at all. Some tracks deserve be closed. Yes I know that if tracks shut down it's hard to get them back but if they run a track where they allow Everything above and more then they shouldn't be in business or need a whole new crew run the place. You are asking for all classes to be in the single digit car counts.

I know the track your talking about and your exactly right the track is going down hill and them cutting the purse is ridicoulas they advertise the payout that should be it no matter car count that's why cars are leaving they should eat the loss us fans don't get money off of the admission because of the car counts.

I think that is a very good possibility. Management is driving cars and fans away. Car counts have been steadily declining and I cannot remember the last time there was a need for a consi. This past Fri. there was a poor crowd turnout on a beautiful night with no other mod races in the area. A side note, Kressley should be banned for the remainder of the year for spinning out Umbenhauer on the final turn as he was headed for victory. Also cannot understand how they handicap the cars when Von Doren sits 8th in pts. but starts the feature in 3rd on Fri., 2nd last week and 3rd the week before that. It looks like a big helping of track favoritism to me.

You can't set Kressley down for the year. He's the top contender for the most rough riding DQ's in a single season trophy.

Kressley drives just like his dad did, and that's not a compliment.

Speaking of Big Diamond, the only person that should be banned is there announcer.

He won't last long once management stops paying him like they did with the last announcer.

I believe we all know that this is probably Diamond. I do believe that management is to blame for some but not all. Is there favoritism. YES, but only to all big name drivers. If you are one of the big name drivers and get a flat you will be given courtesy laps. If you are a low budget driver green is coming out asap. As for handicapping they have been doing it this way for years. I can look at the point standings and tell you at least the top 4 starting spots in the heats and feature starting spots after heats. As for the car counts dwindling i think most low budget drivers perfer Grandview over Diamond. They can only afford to run one track

Your comment about big names and teams being given a courtesy lap at Big D is crap. Big D has never given courtesy laps for a flat tire ever. Just ask Buffalino the other week, ain't to many bigger teams than that on the Pa/Nj circuit.

Most times the pace truck leads the parade for roughly 3 or more laps after an accident is cleared up.

If you are talking about Big Diamond you are clueless. They probably pay the highest weekly purse for the modifieds and last week both sportsman divisions raced for extra money. The crowds have been pretty good each and every week. As for the car counts, most tracks suffer from a lack of car counts this time of the year due to many factors. Also, where can you find a better field of drivers at any track on a Friday night? As for the handicapping, it does seem strange to see CVD start that far up but he hasn't had a good year this year and only after the last couple of weeks did he enter the top ten in points. Think about it, if the top ten if points all qualify in their heat races in the top four to get their handicapping someone big name driver will start towards the front. When you the caliber of drivers like Howard, Buckwalter, Yankowski, Gular, Von Dohren, Krachun, Strunk, Steuer, Rochinski, Reimert, Umberhauer and Pauch Jr when he is there with only 12 handicap spots available it is inevitable that a couple of those guys will start in the first or second row.

Lets support all of our tracks instead of bashing them constantly.
