New York State Fairgrounds Moody Mile, Syracuse, NY

Just Atlantic City, that's it.

@petie151 Hey I just moved to Syracuse. Is the Elbridge track a good track to watch the World of Outlaw Sprint Cars? I was also wondering if you have been down to Wiliams Grove to watch the World Of Outlaw Sprint cars?

[petie151]

@chadsaleen21 I'm sorry i was late in responding to what you wrote! The Elbridge track is big and it's good when it's moist, but I have seen it get really slicked off. I don't like it nearly as much as the smaller tracks because the cars spread out so much. I have been down to Williams Grove a few times, and it's among my favorite of dirt tracks. It's so great! It blows any sprint car racing around here away. It's an awesome way to spend a Friday night! Welcome to Syracuse!

[petie151]

@sneezabonk Hello sneezabonk, I race once per year in Atlantic City, NJ in an arena with a TQ midget, and I probably will be racing in Providence also this year.

[sneezabonk]

@petie151 What car do you drive at atlantic city I will probably be there this year

[petie151]

@sneezabonk I drive the yellow #51p TQ Midget. If you end up going, have fun! Enjoy the show.

Hi racerboy12345, they have pit stops. The track is different at different times, which is why they call it the Moody Mile. When the track is abrasive, the teams need to be concerned with tire wear. When it's slippery, sometimes they don't even have to change tires at all. They do need a fuel stop or two though, no matter what the conditions are.

[racerboy12345]

how do they get their tires to last 150 laps? or do they have stops?

[dragracer417]

sammy swindell may have gone 140 or a little more your prolly roght but the fastest time clocked on the springfield mile is 176.3 miles per hour set by johny hereara that about 36.3 mile per hour faster....

[dragracer417]

great video these bb mods a awesome

[dragracer417]

this is not the fastest dirt track for these car do some research, springfield Illinios has the fastest dirt mile in the country..

[bassmanjohn1]

sorry dragracer417 The mile at Syracuse is the fastest 1 mile dirt oval. The Woo sprint cars are banned from racing there because it is too fast. Sammy Swindel has the record, averaged over 140 mph at syracuse! Thats sick!

[Swartzie6]

I was here in the early 60's..watched a great battle between Bill Rafter # 22 and Ed Otriz # 0..I've never been back but hope yet oneday..What a great race track

[whitepaw54]

howd you know i wear suspenders? never the less your camera work stinks!

[petie151]

Whitepaw! I like you! You're alright. I do appreciate your constructive criticism, so thanks. Your manners seem to be as good as my camera skills were during the making of this video. That's fine, the world needs all kinds of people. Just try and enjoy my videos the best you can, try not to be a penis about it if my camera work isn't up to your high standards, and get to a race! If you do go to a race, enjoy it, tell your buds, and get them to go and enjoy them too!

[zdman1234]

classy

[whitepaw54]

God!!! your camera work SUCKS ASS dude!!

[petie151]

Shut up whitepaw, you rainbow suspender-wearing fruit. You didn't offer to help with the camera work, so piss off, and thanks for watching it anyhow!  :)

[cnycarnut]

i must say i love the syracuse mile but 90$ a ticket is ridiculous when i can go to a cup race for forty bucks right now. i'll watch it on speed if theyre at the race this year but i just cant afford that ticket. RICHIE EVANS FOR THE HALL OF FAME!!!

[ripchrisbeniot11]

alot of great drivers my favorite is Billy Decker my least favorite is Alan Johnson.

[emusert]

Cant wait for Syracuse this year!!!

Id really like to race there to but its way too expensive :(

[jstrawse]

A friend of mine Keith Kauffman raced there, He finished 2nd behind Sammy Swindell in a wold of outlaw race there back in the 80s.

[KevinRCMan]

You think 900HP is alot. Try 1500HP monster trucks tearing up the track lol

I love sprint and EDM racing though

[theduke13j]

lol, we race cuse and we dont have 2 cars or 5-6 motors, its expensive but not as bad as you would think.

[petie151]

theduke13j, hello! It seems to me that to win with a big block or even a 358, it takes some serious cash compared to a Saturday night short-track show. I know the tire bill is high, and I know lots of people break motors there, so that's how come I know I can't afford it.I know guys have done well there, and I'd love to see an under-funded team win, but I would have to bet on the guys with money there. I respect your position, and I hope you're right, because it's better for guys like me.

[darkslayor24]

at the rite aid 200, i got interviewed during the driver interviews.....the best moment of my life...

"so whut do you want to race when you get older"

ANYTHING ON DIRT!

crowd went wild!

[feliciaracing]

i live in syracuse this i never been to a syracuse mile race tho i want to so bad

[kristifruitloop]

did u go to the rite aid 200 in 2007

[psurichie]

Great video Richie Tobias Jr was my favorite driver growing up. Does any one know where i can find out where he is racing this year?

[petie151]

BillydieKidd! To what do I owe the pleasure of such a comment?! :) You, my friend, are a cut above the average viewer! I can't believe that no one else picked up on that! Shame on all of us! I appreciate your blunt feedback and will use it to better my videos in the future. Thank you Sir.

[BillydieKidd]

This wouldhave been an awesome video if you didn't interrupt it so much!

[michigangirl1989]

my uncle was there he raced last year SANTOES MENDEZ

[ClubWago]

Next race at Syracuse is the weekend of Columbus day, so early October. Gotta love Super Dirt Week!

[taktikal24]

anyone know when the the next race at Syracuse is?

[idiotracing]

I saw Billy set fast time in the zemco car there.

[TidyBall12]

Great Video! I totally agree with eveything you wrote! I have been going up since my Freshman year of High School and I absolutely love it. This past year was my 5th straight year and I wouldn't miss it for anything!

[trackbrat87]

this was awesome...brought back a lot of good memories. super dirt week means SO much to me and my family :) SDW isnt all about the racing, its also about the atmosphere...you cant beat it. i've only been twice but they were the best weeks of my life...Orange County is my home track too. to me, the only thing better than super dirt week is eastern states weekend. and it was so nice to hear joe morotta announce a race again...YOU GOTTA HAVE A FAVORITE OUT THERE!!!

[cjs90nj]

never been there...i go to orange county fair speedway...its 5/8 mile...pretty fast and good racing

[itsbt]

super dirt week is a great time, but the racing always sucks there... it reminds me of nascar

[metfanal]

cool video...used to watch billy pauch dominate at east windsor nj on friday nights in the '80s

[petie151]

Billy Pauch is a great racer. I'm bummed that I never went to East Windsor when it was open. Thanks for writing.

[BmastaBerdley]

Theres nothing like sitting on the backstrech and hearing the sound of those big blocks echoing off the grandstands as they take the green flag!

[drumzac]

I miss dirt racing big time. I haven't followed it much since my uncle, Barry Poitras, raced. He was a track champion in Kingston, Brockville, Cornwall, Lefargeville, Frogtown, but he never won in Syracuse. He raced 358 small blocks, but EASILY gave the big blocks a run for there money, sometimes even beating them.

Thanks for the video

[drumzac]

I haven't been to Super Dirt Week since Sammy Swindel (sp?) set the track record in like 1991 or 1992

[xbolsterxcorex]

i absolutely love super DIRT week! i go every year the last ten years such a great time

[petie151]

Yeah, so do I! There's nothing like it. Thanks for writing, Happy Holidays!
