About a two hour rain delay, but got the show in.  Good work by the officials and track crew, had the show in by 12:52.  Would have done much better, but way too many yellows in all the features!!!

 

GOOD RACING TO ALL!!!

BRP Mods race was very good.  good to see them at L'ville again. Cooter King wins when Williamson breaks on lap 33.  4bbl emod race was also good. John taylor with a flat in his heat put him starting tail in the feature,  Stremme spun on starting lap, put him to the tail.  both fought their way thru a pretty decent field to get back to the front before Taylor(5) jumped cushion and rolled.  His brother (7  Evan) then beat Altobelli and stremme for the win.  Couldn't get a much better emod race.  there was another emod class there that they shortened the feature because of yellows.  Maybe these guys need a time limit.  took 4 starts to get a lap in.  Rocky Kugle is back!!! winning the crate mod feature.

Didn't one of those brothers win it last year? Also does lernerville usually have someone that posts videos, sounds like I missed some great racing

Think Stremme also raced at Eldora this past week as a support class.   Close to a full time driver as there is in that class!!

 

GOOD RACING TO ALL!!

I love watching emods at lernerville. After the pro-mod/crate guys whining and complaining about the economods running stateline beforehand because they have bigger motors... and 4 show up. The pro mods smoked them with not much fight. The bigger motors couldn't hang with the 4 barrels off the corners. Then they complain because 604's aren't allowed to run the elite series so they lift the rule and bring them in the mix. Fast forward to lernerville and steve dixon, in a pro mod, was the fastest car there and won but got dq'd because he skipped tech..... all the crying and fuss and for what? The pro mods held serve at stateline and dixon did just fine in his "little" crate at a big track...

I agree, they should be able to but then the same people crying about stateline would take their ball and go home. Christopher wants to make this series a big deal so he's doing whatever he thinks will bring more cars. See the advantage the 4 barrels get on restarts... yet you couldn't convince some of these morons that just because they have less hp doesn't mean they can't be every bit as fast. Not only that but to run economods you can't have won a championship in a higher class in the past 10 year which i believe Dixon has but this was the elite series, not a weekly economod race.

Idk what's going on with this series but Emig pulled points off the table for the econo vs promod race because her drivers complained and Christopher gave her all the credit for letter her guys run the race at stateline, now 604's are allowed in. There's no way these two classes can exist in the same world....

Anyone have any idea who runs this Elite Series???   They sure run a low profile as I have never gotten any releases or schedules from them or seen anything posted on such by them here or on Facebook.  Not a good way to run a series!!

 

GOOD RACING TO ALL

Josh Christopher runs it. He uses to own the 2jr economod that Eric Wilson drove a few times at the end of last season. They have a facebook but there was a tiff right off the bat with them and eriez on Eriez open forum because Eriez said they were not running the same rules as the series. They were sticking to their rules from last season so Josh ferry starts mouthing off because Eriez didn't conform to the elite series rules and lets guys run softs and blah blah. It has gone more smoothly since then but the series has changed it's rules 2 or 3 times since winter.... so take it for what it's worth. And lastly, there's a rule saying no 604's or past champion in the prior 10 years for economods. And i would be very very surprised if Vicki lets the economod guys invade again. This you scratch my back stuff going on there will only work 1 way in the long run.
