Snowball Derby! Where's our Gov Cup Winner?

[Lurkin]

28 Bombers and 20 Sportsman, kind of a crash fest. Haven't heard how Reynolds is this morning hope he's ok he's a regular at Mobile, couldn't have been good if they felt they had to cut the roof off.

Mod and Super Stocks tonight, remember Sportsman and Super Stock names are exactly opposite what they are at NSS...PCola Super Stocks are Sportmans in the rest of Fla.

Tomorrow's Hooligan races look to be large and wild.

Yea he had a hard shot for sure - seemed like a neck/back deal. Good racing in between the wrecks though. The cameras and lighting were fighting a battle with some shots being too dark. Overall a solid B+ or A though in my book. They had graphics and replays. The Derby being during daylight will make a huge difference - as well as the trailers being gone. Pit reporters and video were cool.

Hey bubba, how did you watch it on your big screen? Did you HDMI from a laptop or something?

[bubba]

Yea that was the easiest. Not sure if the built-in browsers etc on the tv would work. HDMI took the sound through the tv as well in my case. A little off on the edges but looked great - is it too much to ask if they can do it in HD next yr?

Thanks for letting me know, I'll use the same setup. Too bad to hear they aren't broadcasting in HD, I wonder if it's because they don't have HD cameras or if it's a bandwidth issue.

Modifieds just finished their practice and DJ Hoezle was running 7th fastest out of 34 mods. I may pay $20 and tune in tonight!

[Lurkin]

Just back from the morning session od Mods and Super Stock as well as Snowball/Flake practice. Get a bite to eat and a lil nap and head back out.

Largest car counts I've seen in years and the weather unbelievable.

Psyched for tonight and tomorrow!

[Lurkin]

Saw on FB Red Dawg Reynolds is now awake and alert. In a lot of pain but looks like he will be alright.

Rogers made the show w a provisional..33rd on speed they took 30. Crazy competitive.

Is that Patrick Thomas who runs here one the pole for super stocks? If so, that is cool. Mod race is going to be real tight.

[JC26]

Nice to see the front row of super stocks is local boys!

I though Patrick and Brandon ran Sportsman though? How did they end up in a Super Stock race instead of the Sportsman race last night?

[bubba]

They just have opposite names for divisions..same car he runs here as a sportsman.

[JC26]

Does 5 Flags not address where lap traffic should be?! Man that was a hell of a race, but I feel bad that Patrick lost it like that. But congrats to Brandon Morris!

Wow, Patrick definitely deserved to win and got hosed by the white car that was a lap down. He was very classy in his post race interview though . Congrats to Brandon Morris!

[bubba]

Yea every time they would Never know high or low and that last bunch was just a mess. Shame for Patrick, but Morris drove him really clean, good for both of them!

[Patrick Thomas 25]

So close, really had a pretty good car. Got a little tight in the center which made the car just a little loose off. Brandon drove me as clean as anybody would have.

Great win for Brandon, Snowball Derby Champion.

Thanks to Steve Holland and David Rogers for letting me put the TM Ranch colors on the car.

Toughest place I've ever raced, you never get a chance to rest. I have a huge respect for those guys racing for 300 laps on Sunday.

2 more awesome days to go.
