Bobby Peirce running Slinger Nationals

[zooker25]

I use to go to the Slinger Nationals every year until I became a dirt fan. Use to be a huge event, probably still is. I'm on vacation that week so I think I will check it out. I'll be wearing my Bobby Peirce shirt. Use to be known as the fastest quarter mile in the world maybe still is. I'm sure Bobby will be out of his league, but should be interesting.

[smoothoperator32]

Bobby ran APel's #51 there a couple of weeks ago and turned 11.3 second laps his first time out in it. Don't know how that compares to what times are fast there but he seemed ok with it even with a block attached to the gas pedal so he could reach it.

[bullring]

I wasn't aware he was running that event. Those guys running there show no mercy.

[SHOE32]

Before I started following dirt,I used to go to Salinger nationals to watch guys like Ted Musgrave,Jim saunter Mark Martin,anybody who's ever made it big was at the nationals.So good luck Bobby,that place is incredible.Look up old photo of the late Neil bonnets luck there.nasty crash.

[zooker25]

11.3 is flying!

[zooker25]

[ILL-DIRTDOG]

What is the format I notice they also run Monday night

Tuesdays show list the 199 lap feature plus late models... Do they run heats Monday night....Or do they have practice and just qualify like ARCA does????

[25drtrkr]

Race monitor is covering it, but I haven't seen Bobby's name anywhere.

They didnt run SLM so he must have just practiced

[TackyTracker]

I see they have Shafer's kid's name mispelled... Where is this race at??

[WildBill32]

Is there a website covering this race?

[ILL-DIRTDOG]

I see they have Shafer's kid's name mispelled... Where is this race at??

Slinger Wisconsin....Just north west of Milwaukee.

[WisWildManFan]

Anyone have practice times?

[Krooser]

This is 1985 nationals line-up with the late Jim Jaeger doing the announcing duties. I was the track announcer there that year but I did the on-track interviews and winners circle stuff with the remote mic.

Listen to the names that raced that night…

Fastest times in practice so far are 11.5 so that 11.3 should put him on the pole. Live free coverage on Race Monitor.

Different day, different car, different weather etc....

[pierceFAN]

bobby's practice times would have put him mid pack...working on car to make it faster....fingers crossed

[bullring]

Makes it tough when top 12 are locked in by time. Tough field to crack.

[smoothoperator32]

I would imagine they had the race setup in for the first practice and will put the qualifying setup in for the second and final practice.

[WisWildManFan]

I predict someone wrecks him... these guys don't race for 10k weekly like we are used to. Sauters should be tough to beat.

[WisWildManFan]

Think he was 31 out of 37 in practice that just got over

Is there some audio we can pick up for this???????

[bullring]

See if this works

[bullring]

If I was Bobby I'd take a back start. Several time nationals winner starting behind him is going to be in a hurry to crack the top 4.

[george w]

Yellows out currently 14th with 18laps to go ....

[george w]

Up to 11th with ten to go ....

[george w]

Sitting 11th yellows out with two laps remaining

[george w]

If race monitor is correct showing he finished in 11th place .... i haven't got the slightest clue on the format though?

[bullring]

Top 4 transfer. Going to have to use a provisional.

[smoothoperator32]

LOL i have no idea what they are doing

[smoothoperator32]

Looks like SLM Semi (18 cars 30 laps 2 advance)

Lol. I guess I don't know what's going on either. I thought the last race was the semi.

[25drtrkr]

Wow! Only .170 seconds off of pole and ended up 28th. That's the tightest qualifying I have ever seen.

[bullring]

Yeah quick time was 11.3 and 14th was 11.39. Better put a good coat of wax on for qualifying.

[pierceFAN]

heard the car was lacking power...owners said it was the fastest laps ever turned in that car

[Beef2320]

I love Slinger, for those of you who have never been there think Tazewell but a tad bit smaller

[TackyTracker]

any results??? how did Bobby do???

[WisWildManFan]

Didn't make race.

[Cvert5]

Slinger would make one hell of a dirt track!! :cool:

Blackfurd, way back in the 60's it was a dirt track although without all the banking.

[bullring]

I'm sure it did seem down on power compared to his ProPower. If he's turning faster laps than the owner maybe they'd better hire a new driver.
