Title: should they have 5/8 miles races instead of 1 mile races at---
Post by: rainman2 on March 07, 2024, 10:29:53 PM: Rosecroft?

All you get is very fast opening quarters in all classes anyway!
Read the results and look at the last 1/4-mile times.
If you can figure out when to eliminate the chalk at this track, good money to be made on minimum investing.

I will say in addition though, that any track and/or race you can eliminate the chalk, the chances are there.

Race the first 1/8th

Everyone gets a hole

breather

start the flow down the backside to the 3/4 pole

That would be a short run to the first turn if 5/8!

Exactly how they race at Miami Valley, Scioto, and Dayton too—with natural sunlight and under the lights too!

That would be a site!
