storm'71 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 EXTREMELY disappointing...I attended all three days last fall. I have been to hundreds of dirt track races, at various venues across the country...and none of them can compare to the TMS dirt track. I'll never forget the Modified Championship last year...one of the best races I've ever witnessed. ...just a fan. Got I-Stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 You're so right storm......you can't beat three wide, lap after lap, for the lead. It's a shame a few area promoters can't understand how big of as ASSET a race like that was to getting national exposure for local dirt track racing. I personally only went to one the tracks big year ends show that is complaining about TMS, and yes maybe they had a 5% decrease in car count.....but with rising fuel costs, travel expenses I think that percentage would be normal anyway. But then what the hell do I know......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
