Beautiful night. 16 sprints, 16 lates, 2 pure stocks (I think) and 15 street stocks. BIG purse and no lates...

[D1RT]

Raceway 7, Dog Hollow, and Bedford running super lates too.....

My guess is 7 and Dog is were the Lernerville cars most likely went.

[CHEVY1A]

Bedford's off tonight.

[e=mc2]

Ten ish pures. My bad

[e=mc2]

Jimmy seger wins sprints. Timmy Bish SS

[e=mc2]

Lates are not going well. SEVEN CAUTIONS... Two laps in. Show getting worse by the second.

Who is winning?

[e=mc2]

Seven laps and 11 cars left. No clay left in corners but was going smooth for a few laps

[e=mc2]

5-7 have been running away with it

[ohsofast]

Blose and Dupont?

[Fwig]

Blose, Dupont, Hoffner, Stiner, Powell, Gordon top 5. Gordon and Powell might need flip flopped.

 

I wouldn't say it was a big payout, the only thing that was advertised was $1500.00 for first, no clue what it paid back through. You need to publish a complete payout to get more cars, if it's worth making the feature so you can base your ROI.

Hardly a "BIG PURSE" for Latemodels!  Bedford and many others pay that for a weekly show!  Good to see the regular guys get a chance to make a few extra bucks! As far as the High Dollar lernerville teams.....They aren't going to run with Steelblock cars!  And since  thats what TM runs on a weekly basis....Thats what you have to assume will mostly get!

Their weekly LM rules are; if you have an aluminum block you have to add 50lbs anywhere in front of the motor plate. Steel blocks 2300lbs, Aluminum blocks 2350lbs. Tonight was no points all cars were at 2300lbs.

So we penalize the Aluminum motor cars on a weekly basis!  Makes good sence to me!  2300 is reasonable!  Thats wnbat thier rules should be all the time!  Been through this argument a million times...No need to do it again!

[RocketRide]

Do you really think that 50 pounds is hurting the aluminum lates, i know a few steelblocks that cant get there car below 2400 pounds but yet still.compete with lates.

[jo73]

Do u think a super late team is going to go through the process of putting 50pds on. I hardly think so. They'll go elsewhere or just take a night off. JMO.

the process? It takes about 15-20 mins...if that puckers you enough that you choose not to race maybe it's best you stay home

Don't get it???  We have the "Many" and the "Few".  In the modern day world everywhere but a couple little tracks up here in Western Pa...the Majority wins!  There are probably 100 Superlatemodel teams in the area with Aluminum Motors in there cars!  Only a handful of "Steelblock" cars!  Why do we cater to the Steel Block cars?  2300 was a reasonable weight!  if you can make your car that lite...Great!  if you can't???  Too Bad!  And yes Putting 50 lbs of weight ahead of the motor plate  messes up the setup to the point you have to rescale your car!  Its only logic!  Why do these tracks care so much about Steel Block cars?  They are hindering there business!  Steelblock cars are a thing of the past in Superlatemodel racing!  if you can't afford a block...maybe you should be running another division.  Crate racing is SteelBlock  if you want to run a steelblock,...get a crate!  If you can't afford an Aluminum engine...you can't afford to run Superlatemodel!  if I promoted a track  I wouldn't allow Steelblocks to run in my Superlate class!  Sorry  Just my .02

[deadpush]

With several tracks closed in the area, now would be a fine time to test your promotional knowledge and all of your .02 tbeories. Nothing stopping you but the fear of success.

[Fwig]

Well your $.02 is about all it's worth. First off in the area are majority "steel blocks" within a 50 mile radius. Two weeks in a row they had 30+ Late Models and maybe a 1/3 of them were aluminum motors.

 

As far as the 50lbs, the reality is, it is an advantage to aluminum motor Late Model. When you can put it "ANYWHERE" in front of the motor plate is huge!

 

The track sat idle for a while and they are trying to build a weekly racing program. They are putting money back to each class and have been adding weekly.

 

A word of advice Express don't promote a track!!!!!!!!
