Yes he is. But Owens posted the fastest lap in that race. Landers won by 3 1/2 seconds. Everybody keeps talking up Boggs, why?

Boggs was quickest on the watch Thursday , slow tonight?

[plunks7]

Is this that Matt Miller that was in a #7 car years ago?

[WatchThis]

Thank you Plunks7. I am stuck at work on 2nd shift.

[Centeroff]

Boggs was on the gas. Superhero man got in the way and he cut a tire..

The way I figure is Bloomer should be on pole?

[waaac77]

I think it's actually spelled hpole. The "h" is silent

[NormP]

I thought it was pohl...

[Dirt Draggin]

Moyer charging hard-could be a good one!

[plunks7]

I think it's actually spelled hpole. The "h" is silent

Are you serious? Or are you trying to make a fummy and get into my Head? :)

[Centeroff]

Some lopsided heats in the second round. Jamison and JD had a free ride in round two. That's the way the ball rolls

[MI Dirt Fan]

Did Flinner pass all those guys or were they DNFs?

[Kromulous]

Looks like Bloomquist on the pole?

[waaac77]

Are you serious? Or are you trying to make a fummy and get into my Head? :)

Just being fummy there plunks... thanks for the updates

[old fan]

Are you serious? Or are you trying to make a fummy and get into my Head? :) we thought it was empty J/K

[71PRPFan]

Boggs out with (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) fuel pump.

[dirtdobber45]

Thanx for the updates

[plunks7]

we thought it was empty J/K

So does my Wife!!! :) Its just filled with Meds. That's why I thought waaac77 was adding another way to spell it. LOL Just isn't my day I guess.

[plunks7]

You all are welcome. Still trying to get starting 16?

[old fan]

Hell doesn't most wifes think their man's head is empty

[rickybrown1952]

Thanks for the updates plunks

[plunks7]

Each driver’s combined heat race finishes will determine the lineups for Saturday’s dashes, consolations and the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win main event. Saturday’s program will also include the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Does this mean no one is locked in? WOW am I having a hard time understanding things tonight!!!!! This completely SUCKS. WTF

[rickybrown1952]

Did I read that right nick Hoffman in a late model and doing pretty good too

[plunks7]

Hell doesn't most wifes think their man's head is empty

Ya, and to think one may run our country. Then they will all think their sh!t don't stink!!!!!

[Dirt Draggin]

plunks,this is why I hate this format.Does anyone know who's locked in yet? There has to be a few since they are running B-mains and a 30 lap non-qualifier Sat.I will keep checking DoD.They may get the formula figured out....

[plunks7]

I love this format. But nothing has been posted yet. They may have told the people their that attended. If I seriously went threw the heats I could tell you. But I took my Meds and having trouble focusing. Sorry!!!! The one thing I am pretty sure of, Bloomer should be on pole. With Oneil on outside.

[Centeroff]

If my calculations are correct? 1 Oneil2 Bloomquist3 Jameison4 shepherd5 Owens6 Moyer7 Davenport8 Mac daddy9 Landers10 Chilton* Landers 12 * Pierce 16

[old fan]

Ya, and to think one may run our country. Then they will all think their sh!t don't stink!!!!! IF SHE GETS IN (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) WILL SMELL LIKE PERFUME AFTER SHE GETS DONE WTIH THE COUNTRY

[plunks7]

If my calculations are correct? 1 Oneil2 Bloomquist3 Jameison4 shepherd5 Owens6 Moyer7 Davenport8 Mac daddy9 Landers10 Chilton* Landers 12 * Pierce 16

Bloomquist had more passing points than Oneil, And bloomer Won a Race plus took second from 8th. Oneil 2 seconds. You could be right though? Bloomer passed 1 more car than Oneil with a Win.

[Centeroff]

My pencil is normally pretty sharp but I'm human lol

[plunks7]

My pencil is normally pretty sharp but I'm human lol

No you could be right. Bloomer was in a heat race with less cars. Maybe the difference right their. Anyway the first 2 we should have right. :)

[plunks7]

Hey what happened to my friend Cardirt0 tonight? Did you fall asleep? LOL

[huskerdirt]

plunks,this is why I hate this format.Does anyone know who's locked in yet? There has to be a few since they are running B-mains and a 30 lap non-qualifier Sat.I will keep checking DoD.They may get the formula figured out....

All you guys really gotta look at is average finish between the two heat races.

ONeal 1.0
Bloomer 1.5
Jameson 2.0
BShepp 2.0
Owens 2.0
Moyer 2.5
Davenport 2.5
McDowell 3.0
Landers 3.0
Chilton 3.0
Marler 3.0
Francis 3.0
Brown 3.5
Moran 3.5
Erb JR 3.5
Pierce 4.0 holds tiebreaker based on fastest lap.
McCreadie 4.0
Miller 4.0
-----

From McDowell to Francis is a 5 way tie.... Exact number of passing points. McDowell holds tiebreakers based on fastest lap.

Jameson, BShepp, Owens are separated by 5.28 points. Jameson was the only 1 of the 3 to gain spots in both rounds. That's why is his points were a tick higher. His mid pack starting average worked in his favor.

I know the average finish isn't completely a 100 percent perfect equation. But it does eliminate a lot of the headache in figuring the numbers. A guy with a lower average finish isn't gonna start better than one with a higher average.

[dirtdobber45]

I took my Meds and having trouble focusing. Sorry!!!! Yea I took mine too....now I got the munchies lol

[Bob Hubbard]

Jamison posted the top 16 on his fb page ..... Line up is on DoD too

[lokwaidid]

I'll give jameson credit. he drove a good race last night I think. Thursday night was typical for him. ran over a few people, but last night he ran well. I actually hope he has a good night tonight and has a little patience. I still don't really like the guy, but would like to see a nice race.

Jameson won't last 40 laps. I would keep an eye on McDowell, he's smooth!

That is what I was looking for! It may not be perfect,but I get it,very good analogy.THANKS!!! I won't be so critical of this format in the future.

[lokwaidid]

I agree with you on both points. jameson is his own worst enemy. McDowell just quietly works his way to the front and becomes a threat.

[zyoung25]

In years past they have done a what they called a scramble, even and odd, to set the official field for the 16 locked in. Not sure if they're doing it this year or not though.

McDowell is my pick to win the money tonight. O'neal looked the best that I seen though.

[TackyTracker]

seems like several guys are going to be there IMO... going to be a very good N/S

[#FALSuperman]

No scramble...top 16 are locked in. I've never been to a passing points event, and I must say I kind of really like it. I mean, as a fan how can you not when they give you double heat races. To me, 12 is better than 6. Just race and get your points. If you're starting on the pole in a heat, keep your position. Anyway, I came in not expecting to like this, and now I'm a fan. Just my opinion. I realize others don't agree. I feel like I got my money's worth last night, though. Give me 6 extra heats over time trials any day of the week.

[TS FAN]

Bloomer has the best car by far, as usual. I really do not see anyone passing him. Sort of like the other night. Same ole, same ole most likely. If he has misfortune tire etc., then the race should be wide open. But, I wouldn't count on that. He has been cruising all weekend. No pressure from anyone as of yet. O'Neal has looked good, but will still have to settle for second at best, most likely.

I guess you haven't seen Bloomie? LOL

[jlacey]

Looking at the line ups for the Bmains on DoD i see John Gill starting in the 2nd and 3rd Bs. Assuming thats a typo?

[Centeroff]

Boys this is a 100 lapper and the track is gonna keep changing. With the tire rule Lucas has, if that track keeps packing down and taking rubber the rf tires are really gonna go away. Imo starting position doesn't matter and it's gonna be anybody's race. After Scott won the 75 lapper he said in the post race interview that he could feel his rf going a little. My prediction is the winner is gonna come off the bottom and maybe a late charge from midpack or farther?

[TS FAN]

I hope it is an exciting race, but I wouldn't put much stock in anything Bloomer says about a race he just won. That car was breezing. Oneal was driving the wheels of his car, but he couldn't really challenge him at any point. It was one of the less stressful wins I have seen in years. Just saying
I am going to have to see a lot more than what i saw Thursday or in the heats last night. No one has anything close at this point.

[Centeroff]

Scott wasn't the fastest car last night. B Shep was catching him in the second heat. The track really greased over last night. If it's like that tonight? It's anybody's race. I'm hoping the track doesn't grease up tonight. The track was much better Thursday

Well, Scott can have the fastest hot rod in the house, get stuck on the sh1tter, and not make it to staging in time. He may be the best, but he's never a lock.
