We have had the Dick Gaines Memorial every since i have had the track for six years now, plus many many years before that. Always on the same weekend. Its a great race honoring a great racer. We have a great payout from 20th to 1st. No matter where you go to see a race this weekend, i am sure it will be a exciting night.......Have a great weekend of racing and thanks for attending a race, wherever it may be.

Yes, I deleted several posts. I'm tired of all the track vs. track BS!

2 good payouts... 2 well deserving teams will walk away with $3,000. It's good for racers!

Good luck! I hope you guys have good racing!

Couldn't agree more Bill, just get out and support a track. And also, happy belated birthday.

Allow me to add my 2 cents as a fan, which doesn't add up to much. I enjoy seeing single car qualifying as it is man(or woman) vs.the track. However, I can see how hot laps + qualifying(2 laps per car) can eat up a track come feature time. So if group qualifing is to be used, a cap of say, 4 cars would be easy enough as a fan to follow, and cars can be spread out enough to really give it their best run. Just a thought.

Why bother with time trials, draw for starting spots n race your way in (am i allowed to say that, or is it too much like self expression, or constructive critisism/ which seem to be taboo on this site!)
