This is worth a watch. Quite different to the big tracks. Some familiar names.

Macon Speedway is a very cool track for Midget racing but maybe a little small for Late Models as the carnage shows,still a very entertaining race,funny Bobby Pierce getting the fingers from some of the fans when he spun,not their favorite driver,good to see another NZ visitor Jason Fegar with a good 2nd place,Tony Stewart used to own the track but i think he sold it last year,a great track to visit if in the USA.

And that's what happens when you run to many saloon cars together, take note NZ track promotors

Good track though, like the banked bends, thats what should be done at tauranga with those deep corners. Like seeing heaps of cars on track, looks a bit small for that many cars yeah, but exciting, and promotors job is to fill seats in the stadium, bigger fields help that aspect. Empty track, empty seats unless your at teams racing where the track is empty nearly all the time but the stands are full, well in Palmy anyway.(8 cars on track is an empty track in my book, but thats only an opinion) I would love to see some longer track banked racing here, big fields of saloons and supers running longer races 25/30 laps sort of thing instead of the 12 lap sprint races...

Yes I agree 8 cars is not a good number in any class, 16 supers or saloons is about the maximum, remember they run no mirrors and very limited vision other than out the front or through the left window when corning, so you don't know what's going on around you in the race and they travel faster than superstocks, so 14-16 seems to be ok and then the race flows and hopefully not a smash fest which is not good for anyone

No engine capacity limits, no limits on valves per cylinder or carb cfm. injection or carb take your choice TURBO SUPERCHARGER no limits, full white knuckle, balls out, flat knacker racing. if you can keep a thousand HP on the track your welcome to bring it. lol |
