On the flip side of this Brandon Spithaler goes out to Attica quite often, has won there, and almost always finishes in the top 5.  Spithaler actually runs better at Attica and Wayne County than he does at Lernerville.  

 

It also helped that Macedo started on the front row in a very competitive ride. That is the same car Dale Blaney drove to victory at Sharon Speedway, winning $3K on July 26, so we're talking about a pretty good young driver, starting on the pole on a tricky track, in very good equipment.  Zeth Sabo is a very good 305 driver who was won a least one 305 A-Main at Attica this year, but once again, he started on the front row.  You'll remember that Sabo had the fastest time in hot laps when the track was still very fast, so, even though he is an up-and-coming young driver, he is in very good equipment.  Passing was at a premium in the 410 A-Main, the hard charger only advanced 6 spots. Some nights, track position means everything, and last night was one of those. 

 

If Brandon Matus, Carl Bowser, Darin Gallagher, or Michael Bauer had started on the front row, they more than likely would have won and we would not be having this conversation.

Brandon Spithaler is a Lernerville track champion, goes to Attica often, and has one win there.  That seems like evidence to support my point, rather than refute it.  Dale Blaney winning in a car (at Sharon, no less!) hardly makes a case for it being top-tier equipment (not that it isn’t).  You do make a good point about starting on the front row. As far from smooth as Macedo was, it would've been a different story if he had to pass for position. However, if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Good point, Flash. Dan Kuriger hadn't won in four years until last week when he started on the front row of a dry/slick track and lead every lap

Yes, Kuriger has had only one win since 2017.  Outside of the 13, 2, & 23, the same can be said for the combined total of the rest of the field the night he won.  In fact, from 6th on back that total is 0.

edit:  Do you all know the difference between the 17 NOS cars front end at Sharon and the rest of the WoO regulars?

And the why of it making his car able to be so far superior up top, aside from his experience and learning how to do it up top?

 

I know the difference and I think I know the why.      

I'll take a stab at it.  The difference I notice between the 17 NOS car's front end and the rest of the WoO regulars is that the 17 car's front end is more often glancing off the wall or lap cars than the rest of the WoO regulars.  Is that what you were going for?

As for the why, the contents of his right shoe is heavier than the contents of his helmet?

Track conditions can create issues from time to time... a great example from over the weekend.

We do appreciate the efforts put into the racing surfaces... I would think much of this type of stuff is fixable, ho ever may be more difficult than I would think.

Anyone who thinks the track surface in this link took away from the quality of that race is a spoiled baby. 

WoO sent a message that the track was a problem when they took a preventative measure before the race even began and announced that all restarts would be single file.  This was essentially a non-factor, as there was only one restart, after a red flag because one guy, who nearly dumped it 2 laps in, didn't learn anything from his close call and finished the job 3 laps later.  Same guy who was also the only one to flip the week before (Did you like the, "Dude...I like...totally biffed it out there, man" interview?).  Same guy that has 1 win in 400+ starts in 7 full seasons on tour.

After that, they shortened the race (originally 41 laps, as it was the Jason Johnson Memorial).  Surprise, surprise - nobody else made it look dangerous out there.  25 straight green flag laps.  If you want to use this as evidence that even the WoO race in less than ideal conditions, fine.  But it's certainly not evidence that less than ideal track conditions ruin a race.

Chase's 7th place finish on 9/18 was missing from Speedhive if you look at their points totals.  It's a known issue between Chase and the track.  That's why he got the bonus, he is actually ahead of Jason.  They will fix it and recalculate the points after this week.

I assumed "Highest Lernerville Car" meant highest finish in Saturday's race by a Lernerville car, and only included their points at Lernerville to reference that they both were Lernerville cars.  Doesn't matter to me either way, just thought it was odd that 73 was the highest finishing Lernerville car and didn't get the award.

$50 to go to this, or $50 to go into the Pits for the World.  You can guess where I spent mine.

Did I guess it?

friday we can now race lernerville, or thunder mountain..........what do you think i'm thinking......?

Last week: "We're from UP NORTH!  We get 60 late models and 30 of them are WoO/Lucas quality.  I'm tired of sucking hind teat.  Let's go to Lernerville.  I know, I know, I b1tch incessantly about the tire rule.  But they get like 8 cars and only 3 of them stay on the lead lap.  Plus Norris is out of town.  How much do they pay to win?"

This week: "Maybe it'll be easier at Thunder Mountain.  What do they pay for 10th?"

They just wanna race

I was going to reply, "and get paid," but that link explained it well.  Plus a good laugh courtesy of the lowrider.   

The refund policy on the tickets is in the press release, but you have to actually read the words in order to understand it.

lol

Is that the same jag that asked what is 4m?

This hole thread needs to be deleted....

You can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass.

Take a look there. I see wins at Deleware, East Bay, Bubbas, Bedford, Roaring Knob, Winchester, Lernerville, Wayne County, Tyler County, WV Speedway, and more.

Great source, Hot Dog.  MANY more tracks:

Dog Hollow, Freedom, McKean, Eriez, Little Valley, Stateline, Tri City, Merrittville, Sharon, Expo, Marion Center, Clinton County, Raceway 7, Beckley, Humberstone, Mercer, PPMS, Challenger.

Wins at 28 tracks.  Championships out the woz.  And the lady that started this topic doesn't understand why he has fans?  I think that was her crux at one point, but since it has changed each time there is evidence presented, I'm not sure which point to address.  Why is Blair among the leaders in votes for the Million?  Someone already said it, the area pulls for its own.  Once Blair's name got near the top, it probably motivated more people to vote, and people to vote more.  Remember when Dave Hess, Jr. won the Nextel money?  It's a popularity contest. 

Mbrllc.... someone just mentioned, chevy 1a, that he did call the track number and was told. No racing. What more can anyone ask for ? You want details on there personal issues too ! Geeez.

Until the 21st century, calling the track was the only option.  MCS has a website and social media accounts where they make announcements, such as schedules and cancellations.  You don't understand why anyone would expect to be able to find out if a track is racing by some communication other than telephone?  You act like people as requesting to see medical charts.  If they posted something like, "We are closed until further notice. Please respect our family's privacy regarding this decision," it could have eliminated the weekly questions about the racing status. 

None of you guys are crying about PPMS having a sprint race against Statelines All Star show Saturday. Why? Because the tracks are several hours apart and it will have minimal effect on either show. Mercer and Stateline stock cars are the same scenario but you guys have some chip on your shoulder about these stock cars.

Actually, I think some teams will have to make a decision between PPMS and ASCoC, which could have been avoided.  With PPMS hosting ASCoC events, I'd imagine they must've figured the same thing as you stated, if the two parties had a discussion about it at all.

Regarding the stock cars, I don't know any more than what I've read on this site, but from what I gather this sticks in the craw for 17L because of the history of Mercer not working with him and his race when others were willing to.  I realize this race is not under the same management so it's not really Mercer doing it again, but the name is the same.

Almost surly a Late Model chassis!!   Maybe some company just starting out??

I see the yellow Ohio Steel 99 car at the top of the picture.  I don't remember seeing a car painted like the 99 on the track for many years.  Maybe it's still out there but I don't remember seeing it.  

So you're saying that on the internet you can find pictures of cars that don't race anymore?  That's a game changer.

Wow! It's a weiner beating party.

This bit of inane back-and-forth reminds me of what used to be a regular occurrence when the internet made its way to the Jefferson/Clearfield county area about 14 or 15 years ago and the folks from that area found this board.  I vaguely remember a motion for a separate board to contain all of that nonsense, it got so bad.  A sight as rare as Round Robin without Action Track Snack sauce on his chin, this current series of terribly non-entertaining insults and comebacks is the message board equivalent of vintage racing.
