Anyone know how the track turned out?

[Senroc-Systems]

Anyone know how the track turned out?

Must be pretty good, six cars broke the old track record.

[TDRacin®]

Serious question, and I don't mean to offend, but htf does Flinner stay on tour? I've never seen him NOT finish last in a BMain and take provisional after provisional.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Must be pretty good, six cars broke the old track record.Agreed. I hope so. They need some good publicity there. Help keep the place going, nice place, finally some good clay, so hoping it turns them around.

[jwel]

A certain hall of famer once referred to a race on a track like this as a "goat rodeo"

[Senroc-Systems]

Agreed. I hope so. They need some good publicity there. Help keep the place going, nice place, finally some good clay, so hoping it turns them around.

I agree. From the pix on their Facebook page it looks awesome. Really wanted to go tonight, just couldn't make it happen. I did think there would be more cars over there. Thought maybe Davey J, Mason Zeigler, Blairs to name a few.

[zyoung25]

Is it raining? Race monitor has went offline.

[jwel]

Track prep for an hour or so & counting

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Track prep for an hour or so & countingGuessing it started coming apart.

[jwel]

It was never together

[dirtdobber45]

Thanx for the updates

[chupp n bloomer fan]

It was never togetherShame. They spent all that money on real clay, and have a big race, and track isn't good. Man I was really hoping it'd turn out great for them.

[Cardirt0]

Shame. They spent all that money on real clay, and have a big race, and track isn't good. Man I was really hoping it'd turn out great for them.

Is this the first race on the new clay...

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Is this the first race on the new clay...Yeah. They had practice last week. In their defense, since I know this, it is hard to get a Lucas date. They were on a wait list, and you gotta take what date they give you. Hopefully everything works out, they are at least trying to improve.

[Cardirt0]

Takes more then one race for the clay to lay down.. hope they get it worked end ..clay likes to fold over it it ant been hammed down..The may need to mix a little dirt in with it..

[jwel]

Cars on track. Just hope no bad wrecks & damage to equipment is not too bad.

[zyoung25]

The monitor is showing Bloomer off and 5 laps down. Anyone got any scoop on that?

Bloomer, TMAC, Francis, Lanigan, Erb all pulled off in the first 13 laps

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Bloomer, TMAC, Francis, Lanigan, Erb all pulled off in the first 13 lapsThat's saying something there.

[MI Dirt Fan]

When did they put it down? That chit has to sit for months. I96 here in MI put there's down in September of 2016 and let it sit over the winter.

[dirtdobber45]

Bloomer, TMAC, Francis, Lanigan, Erb all pulled off in the first 13 lapsTrack too rough for them?

[zyoung25]

Scott pulled off running 6th. I'm thinking he broke. He don't leave anything on the table when it comes to point racing.

[jwel]

10 cars left on track after 28 laps in the Sharon Enduro

[mccreadiefan39]

10 cars still on track lap 33

Colton Flinner is running 9th. Ya'll been saying he is out of his element. Looks like he is gonna have a top 10 despite the naysayers.

Great points night for Richards as well. Obviously with the win but McCreadie and Bloomer in the back.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Where did Pierce go? Was there a $1500 to win show close by?

[dirtdobber45]

Congrats to Richards and crew. Suckie points tonite tho

[zyoung25]

Where did Pierce go? Was there a $1500 to win show close by?

Must've went home. His instagram says he will be racing next weekend at Macon and tri-city.

[dirtdobber45]

Where did Pierce go? Was there a $1500 to win show close by?Hes stuck at Atomic... he was over ran by the boobyflakes and they cried so much turned his stall into a mudhole..... Ill get cussed for that...been cussed before... no biggie..lmao

[Hovlane]

Great points night for Richards as well. Obviously with the win but McCreadie and Bloomer in the back.

Some of the drivers complained about the track being rough, so Lucas declared it a non points race. thats why so many of the regulars pulled off.

[NormP]

Are you being serious? If that's the case, what a bunch of babies.

[Hovlane]

Are you being serious? If that's the case, what a bunch of babies.

Yes I'm serious and yes I agree...

[Shiny Side Up 18]

I'm surprised they took a page out of the WoO play book. That's very disappointing.

[Black F]

Hang on, I get the feeling this place is gonna get all weird again.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Hang on, I get the feeling this place is gonna get all weird again.

Shouldnt be too bad. Litey and his 5 other usernames aren't here and Pierce didn't win.

People are quick to complain because they aren't the ones footing the bills for these rides.

[kidrock]

Where did Pierce go? Was there a $1500 to win show close by?

They never had this race on the schedule to begin with.

[dirtdobber45]

Hang on, I get the feeling this place is gonna get all weird again.Bloomer will be blamed.

[jwel]

That track was in no shape to race on. It should have been canceled. Lucas & Sharon abused everyone tonight.

[lvillefan1928]

They should of had this race at lernerville. Sharon was horrible tonight. Big race on brand new clay doesn't make sense

[dirtdobber45]

That track was in no shape to race on. It should have been canceled. Lucas & Sharon abused everyone tonight.How many classes did they run? It went from broken track records to broken track

[WisWildManFan]

Makes the dome race even more impressive when u hear about tracks like this... This whole non points race stuff that outlaws have done and now lucas is BS. Fans should get a refund.

[onclay]

I was there tonight. 24 cars started 7 finished...enough said!!!

[jwel]

I hope Sharon loves all the money they made tonight. Huge delays for worthless track prep yielded huge concession sales. What goes around comes around.. Sharon screwed a huge crowd tonight. People won't forget soon.

[geislerfan]

The track simply was unraceable. Not a good night at all.

[racingfool32]

Some of the drivers complained about the track being rough, so Lucas declared it a non points race. thats why so many of the regulars pulled off.

Was that before or after bloomquist broke?

[taz1458]

I hope Sharon loves all the money they made tonight. Huge delays for worthless track prep yielded huge concession sales. What goes around comes around.. Sharon screwed a huge crowd tonight. People won't forget soon.My thoughts exactly. Biggest race they've had in a while. You run it on a brand new surface you just laid a few weeks ago. Dumbass idea. You'd think after 13 or so years they'd know how to do it. When you got all of 7 cars coming to the checkered and nobody standing cheering, etc. that is not good the racing was horrible. The track was horrible. Honestly, the fun of watching people stuck in the parking lot was as exciting as that race. Was like watching Nascrap at Indy with the tires in 2007 or 2008 whenever it was. Next time, go east to watch a race or something.

[zyoung25]

Sounds like there was a vote taken among the lucas point drivers about it being a point paying race or not.

[smooth32]

If they would have canceled ya'll be on here b!tchin bout that. Macon for one

[smooth32]

It goes both ways, if you race people will say it's to rough we shouldn't have raced. And if you cancel the other half day we could have raced. A promoter can't win.

[golddirt]

You called that one. One 4m whackjob later, we're all confused.

[Highside Hustler25]

You called that one. One 4m whackjob later, we're all confused.

Not sure how I got wrapped up in this thread. I was at Farmer City last night.

Back on topic...those XR1's must be pretty durable. Their at the end it looked like the only survivors left were Rockets. At one time it was Josh, Shepp, Satterlee, Moran, and Culp.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Was that before or after bloomquist broke?At least you got the fool part right. All drivers, 14, which is unanimous, voted BEFORE the race to only award show up points.

[Highside Hustler25]

Satterlee had to be a little disappointed. Lucas really had no choice on this one.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

This thread should be about Sharon and how it just didn't turn out well.

Not whining about Bobby, who was not there, never planned on going.

Trolling one person, talking to yourself.

When all your drivers vote to make it show up points, it's not BS. They realize the track is bad, and don't want to force each other into sh!tty conditions. The amount these cars cost, I don't disagree with their choice. Sucks for everyone involved, but you just deal with it, and reach a compromise, and move on.

I know those actually responding about the race are mad at Sharon and you have reason to be. But, they absolutely needed new dirt, and this is the third try at this race. And it took them a few years to get Lucas. So on one hand, they made a serious effort to improve the track. And in the long run, I think it'll be really good for them. Having Lucas as the first race was risky, and hopefully they didn't ruin their reputation too bad. But I know there wasn't any good make up dates available, because the last two were not made up.

Clay was put down before the New Year, I wanna say in October. Not positive. They had Port Royals help, so I know they tried to do it correctly. I feel bad for the Daves. They are trying to bring the place back.

Bad deal for all involved, hopefully it turns out good for Sharon in the long run. We know Lucas and the fans will be ok.

[3 wide]

Well you know what Larry Moore said if you didn't like the track being a little rough you can go run on a asphalt track. Did they make this a non points race.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Well you know what Larry Moore said if you didn't like the track being a little rough you can go run on a asphalt track. Did they make this a non points race.Yes.........

[3 wide]

Well that's not right you can't change the rules in the middle of the game .

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Well that's not right you can't change the rules in the middle of the game .Lol. Well, watch the video. Was 100% the right call. All 14 drivers agreed to it. And I'd bet it's in their handbook or rules about adverse track conditions/weather, and that they can change points/laps, at their discretion.

[3 wide]

Well it is there series they can do what they want to it just makes me less interested in going to a Lucas oil race everybody has to run on the same track.

[zach51]

Whether or not the drivers agreed on it (which obviously they did), this has to be the most disappointing trend that is starting to happen with these big two national series. Deciding not to count points because the track sucks. Like 3 wide said, I am loosing interest in caring about points when they just pick and choose when they want to count the points. That isn't really fair to the fans who want to see their drivers run hard and not pull off the track to save their stuff because it is a non points race. Same thing down in Florida where they have the "Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series" banners hanging at the track but only make half of the events point races. I'm just not into it, but that's my opinion. I'm sure plenty will disagree.

[kidrock]

I had a old guy tell me racing in the rough separates the men from the boyz. Some of the most entertaining races I have watched has been in the rough.

Nope I agree with you, take the good with the bad.

[tsand]

I had a old guy tell me racing in the rough separates the men from the boyz. Some of the most entertaining races I have watched has been in the rough.last year at Carolina speedway in North Carolina the WOO guys were leaving the ground with all Four wheels. Chub Frank started about 14th and finished second he said after the race he would take those track conditions over a smooth locked down track any day.

[3 wide]

That's right most of the time the track is more racey and if this had been run 20 years ago nothing would have been said about it has got to the point were everything has to be just right.

[zach51]

I watched the video on DOD, I thought that was wildly entertaining. Not sure why the series wouldn't want to promote those highlights instead of the freight train races they obviously prefer. Sure it was a little rough and claimed some cars, but oh well.

[nuff said]

You can certainly tell which drivers care about entertaining the fans from the others

[Black F]

I'm guessing some alcohol is involved here:D

Some??? Lol, the guy is tanked :D

[rickybrown1952]

I had a old guy tell me racing in the rough separates the men from the boyz. Some of the most entertaining races I have watched has been in the rough.I agree with you kidrock it is absolutely rediculouis to have all these fans come and pay their money to watch a good lucus race and because the track becomes ruff at least half the drivers pull off are you kidding me right now cmon is this what DLM has gotten to some of these drivers need to get back to their roots and buck up and race

[MI Dirt Fan]

I don't blame them one bit for pulling off.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I don't blame them one bit for pulling off.Nope. Sh!t is just so expensive now. At least most tried and didn't just pull in. It is disappointing, and if you don't wanna show to one of their races, that's your right.

I don't pay their bills and if I had the choice to pull off, still make some money, and have a car not completely trashed, I'd probably do it.

I mean, 7 outta 24, not exactly rocket science.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I don't blame them one bit for pulling off.

Once they made it a no points event, might as well park it on lap 1.

[Cardirt0]

I see both sides and not scour witch on I am on.. but I know one thing it $ucks for the fan....

[Cardirt0]

I know one thing the track trying to make it better scour made it worse with the new Clay...

[a25rjr]

After watching the dod video, It didn't look terrible to me. I've seen a lot worse.

[dirtdobber45]

Some??? Lol, the guy is tanked :DHe needs to take his meds

[dirtdobber45]

I can see both sides. Drivers/owners want to keep costs down. Lucas helped Sharon save face. And it did suck for the fans. But what I dont understand why not just reschedule later in the year? They couldve put this race with the July races they have in OH

[MI Dirt Fan]

Especially with 2 more nights of racing, obviously with Hagerstown cancelling already, still you never know.

[a25rjr]

I mean, 7 outta 24, not exactly rocket science.

Nice pun!......At least 5 of those were Rockets!

[Birdsboro]

I was wondering why everyone pulled off.... now i know. I have to say that in the heats it was very rough. Yes they graded and yes it got better... at feature time the guys still running figured out where to put their cars on the track. Was it still alittle bumpy, yes. Was it racy, yes. Had i known that they had the option to make this a non points race and all the guys were gonna pull off....would i have gone...NO. I was ok with 7 cars finishing the race (while thinking they broke or flat tire or similar) now i get home and find out that it was fear of a rough track that had them quit makes me angry i spent $200 on gas and 13 hours driving. f i woulda know i would have just gone to the grove to watch a sprint car win from 9th. That being said i will still be going to Port to watch the "supposed" best in the business again.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

They couldve put this race with the July races they have in OHYou take what Lucas gives you. Beings that I know the reasons for the date etc I'll explain. They had been trying for a Lucas race for a few years. They got one and that's the date they got. It rained out the last two years and wasn't made up. So obviously Lucas doesn't want anymore races than what they are at, all I can think of, as far as trying to squeeze it in somewhere.

It'll be ok, hopefully they get to keep the date. Because I think in the end the tracks going to be bad a$$. It wasn't as bad as I previously thought, seen worse.

A few years ago I went to a big race at tri state speedway helfrichs track they had put wood chips on the track to help it hold moisture it was the roughest race track I ever saw I seen the bottom side of moyers car several times Ed Dixon won it and Moyer was second and nobody complained that was the roughest track I ever saw probably been 10 years

That's when they had real drivers. Now they need slick tracks for TC to work.

The date Sharon got is the one Roaring Knob gave up 2 years ago. Used to be a Knob on Fri., Hagerstown on Sat. weekend.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

That's when they had real drivers. Now they need slick tracks for TC to work.They don't use traction control. They are quicker without it. It does matter that the cars are made to lock into the track per se. They can't handle the rough like they used too.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

The date Sharon got is the one Roaring Knob gave up 2 years ago. Used to be a Knob on Fri., Hagerstown on Sat. weekend.Yep. Glad they got it, hopefully this doesn't end it. I think it'll be fine.

Them cars can't handle the rough anymore. And they did still race, just changed the point structure. Not to mention ole Ed Dixon.

Pay 30$ for a hot lap session..what needed to happen was lucas or the track or somebody give the fans a refund..or at least half a refund...

We know that will never happen.

[J20in1st]

Colton Flinner is running 9th. Ya'll been saying he is out of his element. Looks like he is gonna have a top 10 despite the naysayers.


There was only 9 cars running lol

[Bob Hubbard]

I think last years race at Lawerenceburg speedways race was about the same way ....Seems like it was under 10 cars finished the race .... Feel free to correct me if im wrong ....

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Pay 30$ for a hot lap session..what needed to happen was lucas or the track or somebody give the fans a refund..or at least half a refund...


We know that will never happen.They still ran the 50 lap feature. I've been at Eldora when they've only finished 12 cars or so. They still paid out the purse and ran the show. Changed the points, that's it. Ridiculous to do what you're asking and a great way to go broke.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I think last years race at Lawerenceburg speedways race was about the same way ....Seems like it was under 10 cars finished the race .... Feel free to correct me if im wrong ....There has been numerous ones over the years where that happens. I believe you're correct on Lburg too.

It happens, Spring 50 at Florence is one famous for it.

[3 wide]

They better worry about putting on a show for the fans or they will be were nascar is now.

Sharon over the years has cancelled shows after extended rains prior to race day but not because the track was to wet but because the parking lot turns into a swamp. I got there late and the parking swamp was already full of cars buried to their axles. They finally figured that out and opened the old turns 3-4 asphalt track and let us park there. My guess is they had their hands full extracting all the cars from the parking swamp after the event. Oh what fans will endure to see a race!! The other thing is the race still paid $10,000 to win and a lot of guys stayed out trying to make some money like Chub frank and others. Problem is Chub broke and by the looks of his suspension damage the $1100 he got for tenth place turned a net loss for him. Most all other drivers met the same fate.

I think last years race at Lawerenceburg speedways race was about the same way ....Seems like it was under 10 cars finished the race .... Feel free to correct me if im wrong ....

L'burg is always rough. It has to do with how the track drains, and it leaves high and low spots in the corners. I don't think I've ever seen that place super smooth when the late models are there. You're right though, not very many finished it last year. I like that place for that ran though, it's always a interesting race.

Not the drivers or series fault. Equipment is too expensive and they have those rules in place to protect the drivers from JUNK facilities like this one that clearly has no clue about track prep. As promoters they should be offering free admission to the next LOLDS event to anyone that attended with an apology....if they come back. LOL

LOLThat facility is one of the nicest there is in the country. It is a brand new surface, that was the first race on it. It is the clay Port Royal used. Was it a mistake to make that the first race, sure. But you take what date Lucas gives you. They also had quite a bit of rain and it wasn't as bad as I previously thought, certainly seen worse. Though I do agree with it being changed to show up points.

Like Larry Moore said if it's too rough there is always asphalt.

What has happened to the attitude in our sport in even the last 5 years? We have seen calls the last 3 years that used to not even be imaginable.

chupp.....perhaps it is ONE of the nicest facilities. And perhaps I'm spoiled as I only go to the BEST facility, that being the big 1/2 mile at the Marion County Fairgrounds.

Another reason to wish for both series to fail. It's pretty bad when Lucas Oil is pulling the tricks that are usually reserved for the junior varsity crew over at world of outlaws.
