Some great racing but a full moon night for sure.

Who won?🤔

[snooky]

Lindemuth in LM, Fields in SS, Beachner in SML, Surra in PS, Luzier (I think) in FWD and not sure of Micros.

i take it hummingbird only enforces there general rules for certain drivers

I don't think it was bias so much as just a full night of random stupid calls as we've all come to expect from the place. I'm pretty convinced the flag man watches the sky for shooting stars while the cars are on the track. I know it's no easy job, and I sure don't want to do it, but.....

im just curious as to who makes the calls in corner 1 and 2

90% of the calls come from the scoring tower.

Anyone have the results?

Bad calls in the Lates and street stocks what I saw.

[714d]

Question is, how will they ever handle it if car counts rise? They couldn't watch what 10 cars were doing, how will they ever watch 20? I do think the limited lates showed promise though. The beginning of the race was rough, but it's a whole lot easier for those guys to get quality seat time when they can focus on running their race instead of running 2 laps and spending the rest of the race trying not to get run over by the leaders in steel block.

Curious where all the cars are? They only had about 11 for every class

[714d]

Krape, brooks, teats were at dog hollow with lates. Quite a few aren't ready yet from folks I've talked to. The stock classes have been 10 car fields for the past couple years.
Only 3 or 4 guys typically run for points in each class there anymore, so a few tend to avoid opening night too.

Would have thought they picked up a few Marion center street stocks since they dropped the class

[animalgfx]

I know of a few unfinished lates and street stocks.. Several SS cars I expected to be there were at the Dog Hollow opener..

I wasn't there to see the "bad calls" but.. It's opening night..(Not that, that is an excuse) Seems to happen at a lot of places.. Opening night at Mercer this year had same issues..

[BRC27]

Not sure what rules were being broken and what calls everyone is talking about, but I do know that drivers were told at the drivers meeting that things were going to be pointed out and had to be fixed for next week.  Also they were going to enforce the rulebook........I'll believe that when I see it.  But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.  First night out I don't expect everything to be perfect.

I didn't see any cars in Tech. At the very least you should have teched the new class of semi-lates.

[bowtie29]

they are starting tech this week, what they should do is kick people out that run onto track surface stop a race car under caution  and start bitching at a driver for something he didn't do, that is the flag mans job
