The Easy Pickin' team was 31st but that was enough to stretch my lead over the wife to 27 points. 3rd place is 66 points back. Only a couple more races to half way and I win $50. I'll be using up my good drivers I have left but I want the $50.... Hell yeah...have to go for it! I wanted to use Larson yesterday but I’ve maxed him out already. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted June 13, 2021 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Tim Richmond was great...now this is how you celebrate a win!🤣👍🏼🇺🇸 If a driver did this today they would run him out of the sport and make him attend sensitivity classes.🤣 Also notice how the other gals are laughing as well...harmless fun.

The local track I usually head to was sold last fall and the new owners have invested good money into updates. They hope to run a race on June 26th but it doesn't look like they will be allowed to put fans in the stands until well into summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few local tracks being sold/resold and good money being invested into them by the new owners. It is really nice to see. I have an idea of what I'd do if I ever found myself in that situation, but I just don't have 7 or 8 figures to do it my way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's close to Tillsonburg. I don't think any fan's are allowed in. Also you can't visit other racer's pit's, you have to stay at your own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea in my head and it would be a cross between about 4 different track, but would have grandstands on each side of the track (one side covered) and tailgating around both sets of corners. Pits on the outside. At the end of the day though, the track surface and the driver & fan experience drive success. And the dry-slick fanboys can suck it.

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted June 18, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 18, 2021 In 1951, the first year for car racing, it was a dirt track. No racing in 1952 but in 1953 it was paved and races were held until 1963 when the local council said no more license due to noise complaints. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
