>Thompson's the most historic track in New England but its future has been questionable for years please go there.
Wasn't it only opened in the 1970s? Surely there are older tracks in the region. It is definitely the most important for the Whelen Tour. I believe we have talked about this before, but I need to visit family and drag them along, I think a few might even have fun. The broadcast Wednesday said it was a sell out crowd and it sure looked like it, so that's good to see.
>Generally anything modified related in the south (e.g. SMART, Bowman Gray) is considered irrelevant.
Ugh, tell me about it. We have more dirt tracks than you can shake a stick at and every time I ask the dirt track fans about any kind of asphalt oval racing, they just aren't interested. I think the closest asphalt short track is Nashville Speedway (the one at the Fairgrounds) or maybe Bristol. Neither of which I can just pop over to on a Saturday night.
I'm glad to see Acez has been including more small time stuff, so hopefully, I can watch more of it and maybe we can even discuss it and develop a community here. I was really stoked to see that other anon asking about it.
Dirt modified are cool too, but they never really resonated with me. It's a weid middle ground between a late model and a sprint car and I prefer both of those to the dirt modifieds. Which isn't to say they can't put on a good race.
