Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

-- Press-Republican

AKWESASNE — Mohawk International Raceway, along with Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, are excited to present the return of the 358 Modified Mr. DIRTcar Series tonight. The action packed event will feature the third round of the Mr. DIRTcar Series, as well as the second race in the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series, and a full show for Sportsman, Mod Lites and Bandits.

The 358 Modified Series will bring in some of the top names in DIRTcar Small Block racing, and they will battle the already competitive field of weekly racers at Mohawk International Raceway in their 75-lap main event. The rare Thursday night show will be one of the biggest events of the season, and will be a must see for local racing enthusiasts. The Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series will be a 40-lap race, and will also bring in a very competitive group of invaders, looking for success in the popular series. The Pro Stock event will also be a Bailey Motor Company Pro Stock Race, and points earned will go towards both.

Pit Gates and General Admission area will open at 4 p.m. General Admission is $22 for adults and $20 for students and seniors. Children aged 12 and under will get in for just $8. Pit admission is $27 with DIRTcar license and $30 without. The first green flag of the night will take place at 7:45 p.m.
