Thanks for the info devin, yoyo called last night but my sorry butt was already in bed. merry x mas to you to doug hope to see you on the 5th

[openwm53]

Thanks Devin

Should be interesting...........unsure how the impound thing works or the advantage of it. I like the fact that we are staying on the track......

[racin24dev]

15 Gal.

I guess I can understand the tire impound, and somewhat of the fuel purchase...but why 15 Gal? That's $50 extra that could go for something actually needed and seems to be just a jab at racers to get money...

[Bobby Diehl]

What else is racing on the 5th?

Man sounds like Robert got it going. You Mod racers put on a HELL-of-a- SHOW. Just wondering what else is on the marquee???? Have family in town and looking for a great place to take them. Also how much is the back gate?

I'd be interested in hearing opinions from drivers and fans about this race. I thought it was an decent evening, but I must admit that I'm not exactly a fan of pavement racing so I may be a bit biased. I thought the on-track racing was fairly good when they could get a few laps in. But the cautions and the total inability of the drivers to get lined up really killed it for me. By my count 28 of the first 50 laps were run under yellow, and that's only because they only counted the first 4 laps of yellow each time. Had they counted all of them it would have been closer to the entire 50 under yellow. I don't know whether the lineup issue was with the tower, the drivers, the spotters, or what...but holy cow. I've never seen a short track race where they repeatedly had to stop the entire field and send them off one car at a time to get in line, and even that didn't always get every car in the right spot because some of the drivers weren't stopping when the flaggers were telling them to. I have 2 simply suggestions for that issue: First, remove the radios and put a raceceiver on each driver instead. You get the lineup and yellow calls in your ear and that's it. And you get on lap to comply with the lineup or you tag the tail. Second, cut about a foot off each end of the rear bumpers and get rid of the quarter panel bars. Most of the yellows were for a car getting touched in the corner and looping it. A dent in the sheetmetal isn't going to knock the car around so easily.
And there is some good stuff too. I was sitting alone down toward turn 1 and listening to the people around me they were having a good time, except for the extended cautions and the driver intros. Everyone though he sounded like a fool the way he was bashing so many of the drivers, even if it was in fun. Everyone seemed to enjoy the track experience as a whole. The legends, minis, and street stocks put on a really good support show.
Last thing, track safety. I asked this before, and it's still a question...can this track handle a serious fire? Sure didn't look it to me. When the legend blew up and made a fireball the "first responder" was a young guy in a T shirt with a dry chemical extinguisher. There were zero safety guys dressed in any sort of protective clothing to be able to assist a driver out of their car. There is no fire truck, just a flatbed with a couple extinguishers. When the mod piled the turn 1 wall they had to call for the ambulance over the PA at least 3 times before they even got into the thing to come over and see him. Oh and that ambulance...it didn't arrive at the track until halfway through the street stock feature. It says in their own rules that no cars will run without an ambulance present. I guess they knew beforehand that there would be no crashes before that? I don't know if any of the guys in the infield are EMT's or anything, so maybe....but it's something to look at.

I'm still trying to find the race report, or at the very least a full run down of qualifying and finishing positions. Or am i not looking in the right youface or tubebook post?
