That’s one new pelt on the wall resulting from the SRX series benefiting the weekly divisions. There will be more.
The back straight away sign makers are going to be busy this spring.
Now all the tracks needs is a repave. The place is a 1 groove snooze fest until the last 5 laps when someone drives into someone else and everyone gets excited and confuses that for a great race…..Yawn.
Yikes that a hot take. I wonder if Atomic Punk has seen an SK SKL or Open show within the last 3 years
Stafford was “a 1 groove snooze fest” for a good 10 years immediately following the last repave.
Lisa Arute made the observation and it’s true. As tracks age the groove can move as the fines erode irregularly and for now Staffords groove is moving up. Two wide for modifieds a regular thing. The narrower tires not as obvious but a little better especially in the Late Models.
We have no idea at this stage what the SRX cars are all about short of an artists rendering let alone how they will perform. I know at Stafford the wider the tires they allow the better odds of side by side racing there will be. They’ll test for sure and figure something out.
It darned well better not be a snooze fest it’s the first race. Bore them at the get go and watch the second race ratings plummet even with them being on dirt. Hopefully the bump and run will be discussed, encouraged and we see it executed by some of the best.
