I don't think it was the track anyone really wanted but it was smooth and there weren't many yellows, Had the track real wide almost down to the flower pots around the light poles and that's where most of the racing was.

Racing was ok, Dickie did drive around the outside to take the lead and win.

Good crowd and honestly a good portion of it stayed for the whole show. They get next week in and it'll be back on the banks for USAC.

Oh and Bacon who looked like he was jumping out of gear both in hot laps and his heat had to start 17th. Finished 4th to pick up the BC Grasshopper Hard Charger.

I've never seen sprint cars run that low and slow at the burg, oh well it was kinda a learning experience with the new dirt, hopefully they get it figured out by usac night.

This is the least excited recap that you've ever posted Charles.

Just reminded me of so many on the bottom slicky's of the old track. Also Uncle's wife wasn't feeling well so they left after mod heats. It wasn't a bad night at all, Just different.

Also I was kinda Meh when I got there for some reason, But ended up staying and enjoying the whole show. Big cheer when DIckie took the lead.

Not clay just dirt that's kinda sandy. Smooth track? Why was everyone way down on the bottom?

I think what you were seeing was dust on top.

I was honestly hoping someone would go up top and run their own groove in.
But given equal traction and since todays tires hookup better on rubber than dirt. the shortest way is the fastest way.

Here's JJ's family vid.

The whole track was what I am saying. What you think I think is different.

Track was not good at all. This is not the first time terrible track conditions plague a race at Lawrenceburg. Probably the nicest facility on the USAC trail and more times than not, the track is junk. By widening out the track, all you do is take the top 2 lanes out of the equation and make the racing terrible....With the bank they have at this place, you can water it morning, noon and night and it will not hurt it......Move the tires up and make the track smaller and you will have better racing.....

Im not dissagreeing that it was dry and all on the bottom. The racing wasn't great but there was passing, Dickie passed for the win and Bacon from 17th to fourth.

IM not making any excuse. But the new clay had no competitive laps on it and I figure he was playing it safe..

I also agree that it seems the best racing is when it is tacky. Several times last year it rained on race day or a hour before hotlaps and it was awesome.

I'll stand by my first report that it wasn't what I wanted or what I think the racers wanted. But I had a good time.

Far from the first time I've seen huggy pole and I've seen it at every track i've been too, several times.

IDK, for me, a bad night at track, save someone getting hurt is better than the best movie I've ever seen.

I have always been told by drivers that he almost draines the river every week watering the track... Maybe they are going to try to make it less tacky and more black slick and see how that works for a few weeks. ..just a guess.
