I ran there every sat night in mid eighties and it was pretty ruff. We have ran there a little and everyone was nice to us and track was choppy with a couple of holes but it was same for everybody. Most all the tracks are old and flat wore out but if someone is winning on them then the rest of us should't complain to much.

Here is the perfect example. People complain if they don't work the track, then they complain when they do.

I too raced on the Hopton track and it was also very rough at times.

How about throwing out some mod drivers names that loaded up, according to the results everyone that ran a heat race ran the feature, we all know John doesn't like the place and likes to start crap on here about it.

You dont go to putnumville to run on a smooth, slick, dusty, one lane conga line around the tires, there is plenty of places like that around here. You go there knowing not to forget your spurs and elbow pads...

I have ran sprints and stock cars both, a place thats elbows up chop for a sprint car that you think ahh thats a little rough not to bad, is a freaking nightmare in a modified, you bent and break all kinds of stuff because the car is twice as heavy with twice the moving pieces.

John can speak for himself and most of you that run there wouldn't go anywhere else(on a saturday night) anyway. I will ask the drivers that told me they loaded up and if I can post their name. I would love to have a track that was as close to me as P'ville is that actually gave even a little concern about the race track.I applaud the 10H for openning up and I also applaud the othere cars that loaded up and for doing what they believe in while most just ***** under their breath and never speak out. I wish they would get it together at P'ville it's close and has a ton of history and deserves better. So you dont need to speak for me I'll do it myself. Oh,NO ONE that races there or anywhere else is a second class citizen that was never said by me nor will it ever be said. We all have choices and everyone will do what they think is right for them but dont get bent outta shape when someone doesn't agree with you or ask's the no spin questions.You guys need to calm down before you give yourselves a stroke.It's just racing boys you would think someone was talking smack about your wife.

I guess I may be showing my age, but I remember when Farrar ran the place.

Some of you newbies might find this hard to believe, but in their reign, the track was always in great shape. The rest rooms were clean and the the grounds were well maintained.The show was ran at a quick pace and the drivers and the fans were treated with respect.

Granted Hopton was a step down, DA fell off the cliff.
