Duck River here we come

[#56Gentryfan]

Cant wait to see how the locals will fair with some of the other big names coming....I think Josh Putnam will put on a clinic in this race....Duck River is standing room only alot at even a $3000 to win race and i can imagine what this race will bring...

[swartzman]

Yes the duck's deep fried race Is always a great race. What stinks is it and the dirt track is the same weekend this year!! Both tracks will have good racing but, Portsmouth is only a hr. away.

[castone]

If I lived anywhere near Portsmouth that's where I would be also, but I am closer to The Duck- I'll get to watch some not so big names, but some of the best rail riders in the country.

[swartzman]

Yeah I really enjoyed coming there and hanging out with Mccool. Hopefully next year they don't race on the same days..

FWIW the racing surface, track layout, and racing action are consistently better at the Duck than at PRP. Although I'll likely get flamed for it, the surface at Duck River is, for its size, the closest thing to Macon or FALS in the mid South. Racing from top to bottom, consistently. The Duck is always worth the trip.

[#56Gentryfan]

You hit it right about Duck Rivers surface...its fast..smooth and racey...and now Bob has put all new dirt down in the last 2 weeks it would be no problem to march to the front from midpack...its not only the track..its a fantastic facility...

[LMPunk]

Now let's just hope the feature starts before midnight.

[#56Gentryfan]

I think from some of the feedback from the last one Bob and David may get the time a little better this time...

[Dirt Guy]

Forget it! Yes, there's usually great racing. But these guys never get in any hurry. They always start late, spend too much time hot lapping, qualifying, and circling the track before dropping the green. If they would start on time and speed things up it would be terrific.

[wfofan]

Any practice info

[castone]

Very good practice good race track probably 27 Supers there, and 85 car overall some supers timing in mid to low 12's

[MidTnDirtFan]

And unfortunately the show ran on and on with hot laps, qualifying several classes and a few 10 to 15 minuite delays waiting for a car to be towed off the track.

Many of the fans left right after the Super heats. Of course that was after 11:00 and there was two more features still waiting to be run.

If you are going for night two dress warm. It got a little cold last night sitting up on those bleachers. I expect a full house so don't be late.

[wfofan]

Some promoters think drag n a night out gives fans their money's worth... u jus can't fix stupid, midnight snack anyone?

[#56Gentryfan]

Well drivers meeting wasnt until 7:00 as Posted...started hotlapping around 7:30...so it really only took like 4hrs to get all that done so I would say it wasnt that bad...i think it starts like 1hr earlier tonight...

[SnakeX3]

Heat 2 finish..Heckenist jr,Boles,Hickman,Terry English after controversal

Just watched that heat on DoD. You must have been bummed at the way that ended.

Watch the feature race. Multi grove with racing all through the pack. Not able to attend Friday and heard the warranted frustration but let's give a positive shout out for the correction. The Surface came in nice with these guys getting after it! Way to go Duck River!

[LMPunk]

Took forever to get to the feature as expected, but man it was worth it. When the track is right, there's not many better than Duck River. Fantastic racing throughout the field for the entire 75 laps.

[spas]

Heat 1 finish top 4....V.Hill,tan english,#4,Chilton.....Moyer jr ran 6th

#4 was Cody Mahoney

I did watch all the Duck River stuff on DoD. I was referring to him being a fan of the 56 and his heat ending up in the wall on the front stretch.

I thought the racing at Duck River looked great both nights. Shame about ol' Vic Hill. I don't know what Ogle was thinking there.

That was more strange than anything. I just don't think Billy meant to do that. I think he just had a real run off the top and misgauged something. Or Vic took his right lane and he dove in. It was a pass that could not happen without substantial contact. It was a shame. That was exciting watching the 201 get rad up on the high side from pretty far back.

If you're leading at the Duck and Ogle is second, you might be fixing to meet Mr. Concrete. Just ask Chris Madden. Vic Hill had a reason to be salty. Ogle had the top half of the track and decided to throw a slider from about 4 car lengths back. Another brain fade at the Duck from Ogle.

Ole Billy has a thing for stuffing guys in the wall at Duck River it seems.

[SnakeX3]

Thanks for the opinions on the Hill/Ogle wreck. I really wish DoD had done an interview with them after the race. I'm sure that would have been interesting. I *think* Billy gets his engines from Vic. He may need to make a switch after this weekend.

Nah vic will still sell him engines. It will just be 12000 extra for the next refresh lol

[castone]

A very bad deal for Vic, he had a very good race car and looked to be the car to win. No way do I think Ogle clipped Vic on purpose he was coming so fast on the rail he just make a bold move that went very bad.

[#56Gentryfan]

I like Billy but he straight up went right down into Hill..i seen it with my own eyes...the bad thing about it is that all Billy had to do was stay his line(on top) and would have went right around Hill the next lap...Ogle jr was coming to the front that fast...dont understand why he did that..i was at the same race he did it to Madden...same turn same way...its crazy

[SnakeX3]

HA HA HA! That would be awesome.

I gotta see if I can find video on DoD from the race where Ogle took out Madden.

Edit: Found it. DoD had it on a Throwback Thursday video.

Also worth a watch: Madden's victory lane interview the next night at Smoky Mountain.

[SnakeX3]

Thanks man. I'll check it out.
