Hell I think they were still coming in the gate when I left at 11pm ! What a cluster fuck tonight ! As usual they didn't have enough security and the crowds did what they wanted .

Sounds like it got pretty crazy out there tonight!

Yeah it was more or less anarchy tonight. If the track wasn't shut down from someone blowing up or wrecking, the crowd was all up in the way.

It really could have been contained if dorchester could make a few changes. They need to keep the racing and spectating separated. That is the worst design of a track ever. Having the spectators able to freely walk behind the staging area is stupid. They need to have a way for them to walk around that area for safety. Also, they need to keep the pit area cleared of spectators. I guess they just need more fencing in place to carol the people out of the way of cars trying to race. There are ways to fix the problems, if only dorchester will make some changes. Otherwise they will lose most of there good race car guys during these big events. But then again, they may want that because they might have been the only ones bitching about everything.

just my 2 cents

Dorchester was bullshit last night, and even when "staff" tried to form some sort of organization, they were overtaken by carelessness of the spectators. I wont do the "big event" shit at Dorchester anymore. I made 2 passes in about 4 hours. You know somethings not right at a track when 2 damn people get a bye run in the same round of a bracket race.

Darryl Buckner 04-13-2009 09:31 AM

I backed out of the bracket race all together. You simply cannot run in those conditions. Staging area disorganized, not to mention trying to get back up the return road. This could be the first year I go to the bracket finals representing another track. Midway had a big crowd Saturday but they managed to keep people out of staging and the return road. I have talked to the track owners at Dorchester and told them they have lost control. I guess I will see what the next bracket race has in store, and then decide if I am in or out. Its real bad, I have known the family and raced there since 1985..

guess i didnt miss out on nothing

WWhittle 04-13-2009 12:42 PM

I left when the guns came out.
For those of you that stayed in the staging lanes area all night, you should have been where i was if you thought shit was rough.

Jeff- remember what i told you down on the starting line? I TOLD YA SO!!

BigdaddyDupree 04-13-2009 01:06 PM

so what all went down out there last night with the guns and all?

KRYPTONITE 04-13-2009 01:09 PM

$10 dollars a head, man i think dorchester lost money last night,LOL:hysterical::hysterical:

o and about the bracket race, all you have to do is hang back in the staging lanes and they will let you make singles, thats a easy win (except brandon because he will red light racing himself:yourock:) you could go a couple rounds without racing anyone, the guy in the wagon if you ask me was playing it smart....:hysterical:

Sounds like a fun-filled way to spend Easter with the family...

I thought they usually have deputies out there?

there were cops everywhere but this happened in the back corner. i just happened to be there talking to the guys when it all went down. they left shortly after.

Harry 04-13-2009 08:56 PM

Ya, I tried to go. Got to 78 and where you turn into the track and I couldn't even turn because of all the cars. I just went home. I figured it would be a cluster!!!!!
