I understand why they only do show up points for these tiny tracks like Macon since they weren’t designed for sprint cars and it’s a crap shoot just to get through the night. But what I don’t understand is when they don’t award normal points for special shows on larger tracks simply because the show doesn’t follow the typical format. Enlighten me on what exactly were the rule differences at Knoxville that caused it not to be worthy of full points?

Wow! Stellar track prep, love the old school black gumbo like Knoxville USED to have, not a spec of dust. A bit small for sprint cars but they managed to put on a great race once it got going and a wild finish. Congrats to Moles and Garrett! Now if Flo racing could learn to film the finish of races correctly that would be great!

Throwback, I couldn’t agre with you more about the track prep, outstanding! NO DUST! Dust is rarely a deal breaker for me, but consider it a fabulous bonus when you don’t have to deal with it. My whole thoughts on this was I remember the Allstars used to run here, and Late Models have been running here forever, so wingless Sprint Car’s should be fine. And they were. Fantastic, actually. My recommendation to folks is to pack up the car and head to Macon, you won’t be disappointed

You guys make great points. Macon's black gumbo makes for unique dustless racing. Kudos to Bob Sargent's group over the years for his track prep. Reminds me a little of Haubstadt and their track car. I'm sure new ownership will be just as caring.
I saw my first Herald and Review 100 in 1982 when I moved downstate IL. Couldn't believe they were pitting late models in the infield! Later years, as Flag says, I saw the All Stars at Macon and will never forget seeing Jack Hewitt with his big bushy afro. 🤣 He was driving the blue Murphy car that year. Midgets are slide job city at Macon. Jerry Coons Jr told me he loves racing midgets at Macon. Back in those 1980 days, Macon on Saturday night and Little Springfield on Sunday night were quite the weekly shows. Sure hope this Macon USAC weekend is repeated in 2024! |
