car count SELINSGROVE SPEEDWAY

[plowboy]

SAD CAR COUNT AT SELINSGROVE. NO ONE ELSE RACING AND CAR COUNT SUCKS. MAYBE CHAS SHOULD LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. INCONSISTANT CALLS, FAVORING CERTAIN TEAMS, NO TECH INSPECTION UNTIL THINGS ARE WAY OUT OF HAND AND THEN ITS SKETCHY. ETC.

THANK YOUR RIGHT HAND MAN JOE THE RACE DIRECTOR. IGNORANT BASTARD!!!!!!

While some people may have issues with joe the fact is Selinsgrove has some of the biggest fields of cars in the area for all four divisions on any given weekend. Thats including Port, Williamsgrove, Clinton County, Lincoln, and Trail Ways. Specifically the 358's. Late model fields have been much better this year and the prostocks have had a decent count this year as well. The only one that seems to really change is the RR division. One week they will have 16 cars then next weekend more then a full field.

What you got to realize is with the economy, fuel prices, and carnage that happens some nights its amazing that they even average more then 15 cars in all divisions weekly. Racing is expensive especially if you don't have many or any sponsers for that matter.

While some weekends yes their car count may not pass your expectations but they really have been pretty good. I challenge you to show me any 3 weeks in a row from another track that beats selinsgroves counts excluding special shows.

The only one I would agree with that the counts are are down would be the 410's. But they've been down all over the place for years.

Plus look at the quality of drivers we get every week. Most of these guys have won alot of races and not just at selinsgrove. Be thankful for what we have. While I'd love to see full fields and B mains in all divisions weekly it isn't ever going to happen at any track.

Although I don't get to Selinsgrove every week, I am pleasantly surprised at the car counts when I do get there. They have not been the highest I've seen but they have been better than I expected. As far as the 410's they are a dying division and since I'm not a sprint car fan that doesn't matter to me.

I AGREE THE CAR COUNT IS DECENT BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER. THE LATE MODELS AND THE PRO STOCKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN 30 35 CARS. THEN THE RACING WOULD HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST. ALTOUGH GAS PRICES ETC. SUCK I BELIEVE THAT HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH WHY THERE NOT THERE. WHEN YOU PAY 8.50 A GAL FOR FUEL AND 30 TO 60'000 FOR AN ENGINE AND HAVE THREE OF THEM. DON'T THINK 4.00 GAS IS GOING TO STOP YOU

Yes, I would like to see 30-35 cars weekly in all the divisions but I really don't see that happening at SG. So ok, I hear you on the gas prices and the engine prices, so why do you think the car count is "low"?

No matter what the car count is you have to admit those drivers put on one hell of a show every week ;D

Why would Pro Stock car counts be up. Most of the cars that race other tracks aren't legal at Selinsgrove.

HA... funny stuff! half the cars at Selinsgrove aren't legal according to the "written" rules... it's all about what they let slide by and now they have a huge mess with the prostocks!

["livin the dream"]

Could you elaborate a little on your "written" rules?

[1psfan]

yeah, rules that are in the rule book.... on the site.

["livin the dream"]

Oh! That was quite clever! I guess you are just another one of those complainers with no knowledge of what you are speaking about!
