Dixie & Rome Lucas Weekend

[champion24]

Who will show for these races? Outside of the Lucas and Dixie regulars. Madden, Fergy, 101 Roberts, Ray Cook, McIntosh, TJ Reid show both. Now Davenport has the weekend off,after showing both races. Clanton, Marlar, McDowell say nothing. I do expect Clanton will be at both though. Who will run Duck River and stay over for Rome? 116 says they will. My last Rome race in August was great,& we hope for another one! Last year the Dixie race was better, go figure! Don't tell my boss I'm not focused on the job! It's the only site not blocked for some reason!

[One Man Gang]

Dale McDowell got it on his schedule now

[champion24]

I still don't see it on his website. Where did you see it? I hope he shows.

[One Man Gang]

Dale has 2 schedules lol.... Ben Shelton does one and Delph Communication does other. It's not on Ben's yet but it's on Delph. Look up Delph Communications and go to Clients I think Dale's is in the 3rd row.

[Chris Thomason]

Gonna be an awesome weekend. I had planned to hotel between drrp and Rome but hell its 15 minutes less drive time if I come home after deep fried lol. Maybe we can get a dixie/ deep fried update thread goin sat night. See yaw at the racetrack.

[clanton25fan]

I would be highly surprised if Clanton shows even with it being in his back yard. Him and Lucas are not on each other's Christmas card list.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Yea, Clanton runs slim to basically no Lucas races. I think has last was last year's Knoxville Nationals. He only ran two LOLMS events last year. The other was the Silver dollar Nationals

It's on the Delph now. Wasn't earlier. I think people were actually expecting him at Duck River instead. Maybe he's coming to help his teammate

[Dirtracingfool77]

Devin Gilpin said on twitter he was coming down for Dixie and Rome this weekend.

[Forward Bite]

It looks like Shannon Babb and Bobby Pierce are running UMP Mods and LM at Tri-City this weekend.

[champion24]

I heard from one of my Clanton friends about a lot of interesting information. Including that he just had a new baby! I couldn't handle a baby at my age! Good luck with that! Weather looks good for this weekend too. Let's keep adding folks.

[B_K]

Not sure if 25 is racing or not this weekend, but it sounds like he's been busy lately in the shop and at the house.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Add Ross Bailes via Twitter.

[President Clinton]

I would wager Clanton will be at Dixie.

[rickybrown1952]

So now Clanton has Dixie and Rome on his schedule

Dixie Speedway

[a25rjr]

Ill go all out and predict, tonights race will decide the Lucas championship!

For those that have never been there, its a special kind of slick! Qualifying is everything!

[gorj]

The sun has been in and out all day - not hot. But breezy- been putting water on it all day

Your prediction will be wrong again as always!

[champion24]

Dixie's website has gotten terrible! It says select lower classes, but doesn't identify the classes. Who knows what other classes are running for Dixie and Rome? Few hours away, can't wait!

[gorj]

Track preparation

[a25rjr]

Your prediction will be wrong again as always!

We'll see there, Ronnie Milsap! :)

Nice look, I like it. Been prolly 17 years since I remember seeing him in anything but black on black.

[huskerdirt]

That's more than a new wrap. Who owns that car?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Kinda looks similar to that ride TMac I believe was in end of last year maybe?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Madden to the longhorn house car?

[champion24]

Someone save me a seat! Some idiot wants to get stuffed at Olive Garden before we eat dirt all night! Any new cars there so far? Go RJ has been great! Track prep pictures and all!

[MI Dirt Fan]

lol. That's fake Italian

[champion24]

Maybe! But it's never ending pasta for $10! And we can watch the end of the Cup race! Which a certain Ga driver is leading, btw!

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I believe that was a blk car your thinking about. It was a test at charlotte.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Doesn't Lucas give them the tires at the track?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Gonna be a stout group of cars there tonight

[Chris Thomason]

0 and 17m parked next to one another. I'll see if I can up load a pic for you

[MI Dirt Fan]

Teammates working together the little time they get a chance to at the track.

[Chris Thomason]

Im yet to figure out how to attach pics. It woulda been vague and fuzzy any way. Sry I suck

[Highside Hustler25]

Maybe! But it's never ending pasta for $10! And we can watch the end of the Cup race! Which a certain Ga driver is leading, btw!

Bummer for the lil fella. That one had to sting a bit. Thought he had it.:(

[MI Dirt Fan]

41 cars....

[champion24]

Hot laps underway. Hope all this wind hasn't screwed our racing surface! Maybe 116 Overton & B1 Larson are new cars. Unofficially of course.

[Chris Thomason]

Jameson is one new one. He must have followed me from drrp

[champion24]

Remember, this is Rome and I can't hear on a good day! So some of you (or go RJ) will have to add from home! John will help us out tonight though. FYI, if you really need to use the bathroom you WILL NEED TO LEAVE THE TRACK! Micky makes $$, but the men's shack on the hill is rough! A shower curtain separates you in vulnerable position, from the others! Shame on you if you messed with me down there too. Racing folks should be better than that!

Bloomer enters the gates @ Dixie

[Chris Thomason]

McIntosh fastest in Group A then Tmac, TJ Reid, owens

[gorj]

Thanks for the updates

[Chris Thomason]

D oneal quick over all in the second pair of group B. Lanigan out behind him in third pair to knock 5 off

[gorj]

T mac starting off better tonight so far....he finished 7th last year after starting 21st....bloomer won the event last year after starting 2nd

[Chris Thomason]

Lanigan over all. Oneal, overton, richards (dammitt)

[rickybrown1952]

Cmon T-mac

[gorj]

Josh and Randall tuned it up for tonight

[Chris Thomason]

Heat race results coming after this bomber feature. May be a second...two laps in and we had to get cradle job from two tow trucks

[champion24]

Bomber car tried to climb the wall out of here. He's ok. The Roland tent has $20 hoodys, if you need something else for warmth! And in fat man sizes too! Depending on where you are parked, it might be worth it to not climb the hill! It wasn't that tall and steep when I was younger!!

[Chris Thomason]

BIG HIT....in the outside pit opening. Several ruined cars. 7 cars involved. Looks like only 1 will drive away. Red flag

[champion24]

And now 75% off the bomber field is in wad In Turn 1. 4 cars left!

[champion24]

Sorry, take it away Chris! Great job. Also it was great to see 6-7000 folks standing and saluting our flag and country! Like we all should!

No sir. You stay here and help ol buddy. Team effort! I may miss somethin.

It was great to see everyone in support of the flag and anthem. Did you hear him mention it in the prayer? I think he prayed for "guidance for the people confused over exactly what ol glory stands for". Pretty cool in my book. Not sure but he sounds like spanky Despain???

[lokwaidid]

last night at Florence, the track had any kids that wanted to come out on the track and recite the pledge of allegiance before the races and the rest of the audience recited it as well.

[Chris Thomason]

Lanigan flag to flag. Oneal, tmac, madden

Decent race behind 14. Bloomer and epj especially.

Tmac should have a substantial point lead. Only two running cars behind Richard.

Sure got my monies worth...#Laniganfan

[mccreadiefan39]

Points should be T-Mac by 15 over Bloomquist and 60 over Richards

Im thinking tmac not very far in frt of bloomer as bloomer was only 10pt ahead of timmy going in tonight

[Chris Thomason]

Right right. Bad terminology...i shoulda just said Richards in a hole...not 39 had substantial lead. He clearly didnt post big numbers over 0

[Chris Thomason]

Rj put on a clinic in 525 race. I'll be rolling shortly. Safe travels champ24

Congrats to Tmac for taking point lead as well as Lanigan stinking up the show.

[champion24]

Solid weekend of racing. Tri county was the best racing, although with a weaker field. This Monday after Rome seems to hurt less than most have! Points battle is great. Thoughts and prayers to the Vegas & country music communities! There are nuts amongst us, just about everywhere!

Thoughts and prayers indeed. It'll be curious to see what comes out and how it gets spun. One eye witness reported a woman threatening another woman near the front row 45 minutes before shooting started, screaming "You're all gonna die". Then security escorted her out with her boyfriend, both average looking, 5ft 5'ish and Hispanic. So, unclear if connected, but hinkey none the less.
