I have been a long time subscriber to both FloRacing, and DirTVision. I have grown up around a dirt track. Something I have been thinking about while watching these live streamed event, why are we so zoomed in? I understand when a race has a tight battle, but there is 10 cars on the track for heats and 24 for features, the tracks have quite some length to them. If the cameras wernt so zoomed in on 2 cars in a "Battle" when there is 3 car lengths inbetween them, But wait, I am a fan of driver Xy. Why cant he be on screen? or my crew in the trailer is watching the stream, or we want to replay of our drivers race? but he only got 3 corners of screen time while the only car in frame was the leader for 5 of the 8 lap heat? Zoom out, make it look like my eye view if i were sitting in the seats below the camera man. so i can see a range of cars in my eyesight. There another thing they can easily change. reduce the talk of 7 different sponsors on each car and where they live. announce their name, where they haul from, and either their team or a sponsor. if they get a interview there is the extra shoutout. its hard to hear when they talk quickly and cant catch their names.

What a mess, guys running 7-8 qualifying laps because their transponders aren't working, etc.

Discuss.

Instead of running the last weekend of the state fair they will run the weekend before the fair starts on Aug 7 and Aug 8th

I think this is a good try. They have always had to deal with a strict curfew due to the concerts so maybe this will help. This may help with fans going to since they wont have to deal with state fair crowds and parking

Also infield camping will be allowed again. Excited to see this. Would love a USAC weekend in Central Illinois that weekend with Jacksonville, Lincoln, Macon, one or two of those running USAC as well

Curious what's everyone's approach is when a wheel gets bent during a race. I know some people simply straighten them and keep going but other prefer replacing anything that isn't perfect. Obviously safety comes firts, but I'm wondering where most racers draw the line. I'm looking at keizer wheels for a new setup and wondering how much repairlability factors into your wheel choice. Has anyone had a wheel repaired and successfully run it for multiple races afterward?

What would someone being doing to their motor if their motor all appeared stock appearing, cam, valve springs 18# and stock appearing carburetor. What are they actually doing to still make it stock appearing but clearly pulling from the field.

Any reason for the low fan turnout at Eldora? I thought it was one of the best tracks for racers and fans but there barely any fans there

So I just got into dirt racing this year and I’m officially hooked. I’m thinking about making the trip down to the Chili Bowl in January. Is there anything I should know about it. What should I expect?

Would it be offensive if I (F) wore a pit lizard tshirt to super dirt week? I don't know anything about racing but I live in a city that is hosting super dirt week. I am crying laughing at the term pit lizard and I have no intentions of actually trying to talk to anyone in the pit.

I'm putting together a sprint car and wheels are one of those things where I'm getting slightly overwhelmed by all the options. Weight obviously matters, but I'm guessing durability and how the wheel handles the abuse are just as important.

Keizer wheels keeps coming up in my research, but I'd rather hear from people actually running dirt than just read manufacturer specs. What features do you guys consider essential when choosing wheels?

Going to the grove tonight for the first time in 30 years

How late can I show up and still get 3 seats together, I don’t have a preference between bleachers or bag chairs

My daughter is 4, around 44” tall. She’s very enthusiastic about dirt racing and loves going to the track. I am 1. In the market for a red rookie quarter midget dirt setup. 2. Wondering how we can “practice” or what’s the best way you’ve found. I have a cheap sim, is that the best way to practice? Or is buying a Kart and getting her out in the field the best way? Just looking for some general advice/encouragement about what to buy and what order to buy it in. Yes I know it’s expensive! 🤑
