Sucks that the southern tracks like bonne terre and sikeston are not smart enough to start racing sooner than gateway. Even though it should be warmer down south sooner. You have to go all the way to Memphis

You have to go all the way to Memphis Maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for. No bitching about rescheduled races, less dew in morning.

I don’t think so Kevin. I probably shouldn’t go there until I’m on my nerve medicine. Lol . A guy told me last year that he was the 12th car in superpro and he didn’t leave till 11pm when he lost in the semis on a Sunday

The tracks cant keep up with the speeds for the distance of shutdowns .I hear and see racers of racers posting cars going 3 sec and low 4 at some 8th mile tracks ,sure maybe you can a couple of times .But the odds aren't in his favor .I bet we all pucker those ass cheeks no lolly gaggen at the stripe to find the brake pedal. I will say im not sure why Bonne Terre will not pull u out till the 2 cars at tree have made it all the way down ,you could even get in water box. That really slows the pace .But it has a great following for the small track feel .

When you have a car that fast, it's also probably really a nice one, too. Be best to slow it down or race somewhere else. It wouldn't be worth the risk.

I wouldn’t bring the fast car . But even the mustang would be painful to wait so long while they take a two hour lunch break and wait for the car to make the turn off before I can pull into the water.

It wouldn't be worth the risk. Bonne terre is fun but I feel much safer at gateway. And I don' t even go that fast. I like that gateway will have some racing this year on Friday night.
