EAMS Day 1 (Saturday afternoon)

[#FALSuperman]

Track decided to have a "last chance" race due to track conditions, taking top 2 to transfer to the first of 2 Feature races Saturday. The first being continuation from Friday night. Davenport started last and ended up winning the last chance race, with Overton taking second after starting 5th. They both will start in rear of feature (row 13).

[#FALSuperman]

30 laps down, 13 to go...caution is out. Owens leads followed by Overton and Davenport, McCreadie, Larson. Wow!

[Kwd1253]

Thanks for the update FAL

[Highside Hustler25]

Scotty still stuck in the muck?

[Kwd1253]

HH you know he just testing for the big money feature lol

[#FALSuperman]

Rough track....Owens win, followed by Bronson, McCreadie, Overton, McDowell, Larson. JD went off the Track with 9 to go, ended up 10th. Erb 14th, Clanton 17th, Junghans 20th, Bloomquist 23rd, Madden 25th.

[No_Weak_Links]

I assume track was awful and Bloomquist, Madden, and others pulled in?

[President Clinton]

Track is worse than ever. Casey Roberts took a hard spill. Plenty of junk cars after that.

[#FALSuperman]

Track is worse than ever. Casey Roberts took a hard spill. Plenty of junk cars after that.Tonight should be interesting...might be last man standing in victory lane?!

[#FALSuperman]

I assume track was awful and Bloomquist, Madden, and others pulled in?Correct...it's not good at all. Lots of parts need fixed on several cars.

[No_Weak_Links]

I bet several will load up. Can't really blame them if track is that bad. The winner might not break even.

[TackyTracker]

did they just get to much rain or what??

[#FALSuperman]

did they just get to much rain or what??Yes...haven't been able to recover from it. Sloppy and choppy.

[Punisher88]

Rained about 12 hrs straight Thursday. And it was hard rain. Just constant soaking. And the sun's barely been out to help. It's terrible. Shouldn't have even attempted practice Thursday night and just opened the track to let it dry all day Friday instead of letting it get packed down.

[#FALSuperman]

Yes, I'm rather shocked how the track has gone about this. Side note...who are these announcers? I find myself needing to mute (It's that bad). Not trying to offend anyone if they are local favorites or something. It just isn't friendly to my ears. Just an opinion lol.

[seminole939913]

I would day this might be why Bloomquist finished 23rd. Cool pic, but not a good sign.http://www.dirtondirt.com/photoGallery.php?id=6891

Sounds like Dwayne from Southern Allstars.

He's loud....but he's got more sayings than Slick Willie has smelly cigars! :)

[No_Weak_Links]

I would day this might be why Bloomquist finished 23rd. Cool pic, but not a good sign.http://www.dirtondirt.com/photoGallery.php?id=6891Yeah that didn't look good....... That track is ridiculously bad though. Overtons car doesn't have a straight piece on it.

[Centeroff]

Is that the way they prep down there or did they have tons of rain all week? The boys better wear a mouthpiece and have the chiropractor on speed dial.

[thexfactor0210]

What happened to Erb?

[pap]

i'm near Talladega, so a couple hours north of EAMS but it's rained down here all week. Yesterday was the first sunshine since last week. As Punisher88 said it rained 12 hours straight. I was going today, but decided Wednesday against it.

Track prep by Clayton Wetter?

[Centeroff]

The old water hose, garden tillar and Murray lawn mower with the drag disc attachment!

[ptown]

Owens
Bronson
Tmac
Overton
Dale Mac.

Track was horrible.

[a25rjr]

Them boys down there can't farm...

Easy now....thems fightin words! :)

[No_Weak_Links]

When is qualifying? Hope somebody does updates.

[champion24]

32 heats for 602s! Rough!

[a25rjr]

32 heats for 602s! Rough!

That's what I thought!

Is that really the first set of heat races?

[Chris Thomason]

That truely was the first set of heats... I rolled in about 4:30. Had no idea they were so far behind, I shoulda went to the hotel for a while.

[No_Weak_Links]

Race is over. JimmyO won...Was that not Fridays race?

[a25rjr]

Hope they serve breakfast! lol

[#FALSuperman]

Yes, Friday's race...we are now on Saturday's racing and qualifying has not even started. I will update best I can. The announcer that seems to get everything wrong and is kind of annoying Wesley Outland.

[No_Weak_Links]

[No_Weak_Links]

Yep... My bad bud. SorryNo problem, I'm just trying to make sure I understand right. Sounds like a cluster lol.

[adamconners]

Yes, Friday's race...we are now on Saturday's racing and qualifying has not even started. I will update best I can. The announcer that seems to get everything wrong and is kind of annoying Wesley Outland.Is there a worse announcer than Outland? Guy thinks he's an all-time great. Would rather listen to race on mute than hear him talk.

[billetbirdcage]

They have lost at least 4 car that loaded up or where loading up and left after the friday feature today.

Bottom and middle of racetrack was slick and 2 seconds slower then the top, so probably not going to see much for racing and have to run up in the rough/

[No_Weak_Links]

They must be running every support division that's ever ran on dirt..... "alternative stock, slightly modified, super 4 seater side x sides heat 17 now report to staging."

[Chris Thomason]

Thats how it is here at the National, bud. Nothing new

[Centeroff]

Has the track progressed? Or rough as a 4$ hooker?

[a25rjr]

Cuttin up the corners with grader now. Entering what was supposed to start at 5:30, if I understand correctly we should start with slm hot lap then slm qual after a couple lower division lcq.

[nuff said]

Ahhh,EAMS is all that needs to be said.

[adamconners]

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I would day this might be why Bloomquist finished 23rd. Cool pic, but not a good sign.http://www.dirtondirt.com/photoGallery.php?id=6891Tells me all I need to know about people pulling off, breaking, and wrecking. What a joke. If you can’t get the track in decent shape, push it back.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Who loaded up left? Which 4?4 smart ones.

[No_Weak_Links]

They are running the "Saturday Afternoon" show and it's going on 10:00 pm and LM are yet to touch the track for hotlaps.

[champion24]

Is there a worse announcer than Outland? Guy thinks he's an all-time great. Would rather listen to race on mute than hear him talk.

Short answer is yes! Many are worse, but he is up there! We NEED Eschelman badly! Wonder why he didn't show up this weekend?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Clanton

[seminole939913]

What a long night.

[Highside Hustler25]

Dang, when you folks down South go to a dirt race, you get yer moneys worth:)Went to race monitor, clicked on results, and about fell out of my seat. That's a bunch a racin there.

[#FALSuperman]

The announcer wants everyone to know that "super late models, get ready for hot laps". He repeated it only 12 times. Glad they got those fireworks in. That was extremely important. It's only 10:30.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Is dirt crow there? hahaha

[Highside Hustler25]

Prolly cuz he dnt want to sleep most of the day tomarrow

Hey, did I see where they created a "1 more chance/consolation/last call/4 car/top 3 advance race, so yer hero could get in the show:confused:

[No_Weak_Links]

Hey, did I see where they created a "1 more chance/consolation/last call/4 car/top 3 advance race, so yer hero could get in the show:confused:No... it's going to be a 3 car "last chance, we really mean it this time" taking the top 4.

[Highside Hustler25]

I bet this place sells some hot dogs

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I guess they redid a b main w overton & jd in rear. Not my call. Contact eams for your disgruntledness

[Chris Thomason]

It can get annoying quickly but I enjoy this race. The wife and my brother is about the only people I have and we have fun just being at the race track so this one is a yearly must lol. Good long weekend

Track is much better after the prep. Madden looked really stong in hotlap. They also took a little bit of the sting out moving slm up in the schedule. Not great but is what it is

[Highside Hustler25]

I guess they redid a b main w overton & jd in rear. Not my call. Contact eams for your disgruntledness

No, I'm just glad they could fit him in there somewhere:cool:

[nuff said]

They definitely try.There will be an intermission coming at some point.

Do you throw tomatoes at the 4 cylinders when they spin out???

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

No, I'm just glad they could fit him in there somewhere:cool:

Yea that stuff going on down there is bs. Guys are tearing up expencive cars for what 5k. Doesnt make sence. Ik i wouldnt do it.

[Chris Thomason]

No way dude. Cardinal sin in the south. That would make a good sandwich with mayo and pepper.

[#FALSuperman]

Clint Smith and Shane Clanton (blown motor) are the two cars that left. Qualifying about to begin.

[t3r3e3]

They must be running every support division that's ever ran on dirt..... "alternative stock, slightly modified, super 4 seater side x sides heat 17 now report to staging."

Welcome to the 48 hours of EAMS. They qualify everything but johnboats and big wheels.

[Krooser]

Used to be a smooth fast track in the 70's....

[Chris Thomason]

Whats the temperature down there right now?

High 40s. Its brisk with this steady wind but not bad with a couple layers and heater

Madden fastest group A

[#FALSuperman]

Madden, Davenport, Bloomquist, McDowell, Erb top 5 group A qualifying.

[#FALSuperman]

Nowell, Bronson, Owens, Overton, McCreadie top 5 group B. Only 26 cars qualified. That would mean 10 cars have packed up and left.

[#FALSuperman]

I don't even get why they would run a B-main at this point. Just let all 26 in....that's what was in the A-main earlier today.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Any fat girls to snuggle up to?


Just your type. Waffle house style!

[#FALSuperman]

Must be taking my advice...all 26 cars are locked into A-main. Smart move. No need for B-main. 16 cars in group A, 10 cars in group B...looks like; Clanton, Cook, Page, Hiett, Junghans, C.Roberts, C.Smith all scratched after competing in this afternoons event...

[upaginit in North GA]

EAMS is slowly killing the prestige of the National 100. It used to be a good race to attend. I have removed EAMS National 100 from my attendance list and added the World Finals at Charlotte.

[#FALSuperman]

[#FALSuperman]

T-Mac passes Madden for 2nd.

[#FALSuperman]

12 laps to go caution...fast action all over the track. Owens, T-Mac, Madden, McDowell, and all the sudden JD back to top 5.

[Chris Thomason]

You think madden has blistered a tire, #Fals? He lost time soon as the track started getting black at the top...

Or has the track just came in for the others?

[#FALSuperman]

You think madden has blistered a tire, #Fals? He lost time soon as the track started getting black at the top...Or has the track just came in for the others?Not sure yet... the Track is racey still. Owens put on a great slider, and lapped traffic came into play also with the T-Mac pass.

[Chris Thomason]

Yes for sure. Just seemed like 44 was slowing down. Maybe back to life he if the tires cooled any

[#FALSuperman]

7 to go...caution out again. McDowell slowing into pits and another car spins out trying to avoid him.

[#FALSuperman]

Owens, T-Mac, Madden, JD, Bloomer

[#FALSuperman]

Spread out...track is locking down

[#FALSuperman]

Owens wins...followed by T-Mac, Madden, JD, Bloomer

[Switchback29A1]

Man that announcer is something else. I can't stand announcers that SCREAM at you everytime anything happens. And what was he talking about in maddens post race interview, "4 wide for the win"?

[Kwd1253]

At times he does go over board yelling in the mic. Then sling blade voice guy needs get a little closer to the mic. You can't hear really good. If one tune it down a little and other speaks a little loader it would be perfect. Still watching for the sling blade announcer say "I like gravy on my fries. ummm..mmmm". Lol

[zyoung25]

The drivers even act like they're annoyed by the announcer, it's not deewayyyyne though.

[MEE]

what about the other guy calling jimmy owens (jimmy EVANS) over and over .lol

[Chris Thomason]

what about the other guy calling jimmy owens (jimmy EVANS) over and over .lol

At some point yesterday morning before I left home I heard one of them say Shann Clayton hahaha

Features starting up now. They played taps before the National Anthem for our fallen vets... couple guys from tailgate woulda been triggered

[ptown]

They played taps before the National Anthem for our fallen vets... couple guys from tailgate woulda been triggered

Are you saying they got Veterans Day confused with Memorial Day?

[#FALSuperman]

He also insisted on several occasions that "Superman Jonathan Davenport driving the Donald Bradsher XR1 Rocket Chassis, and will be switching over to the Lance Landers Longhorn Chassis in 2018"...people tried to correct him and he still just didn't get it, lol.

[fastford]

congrats to my man owens , with that said , now you guys know why i live only 90 miles away and have not been back since the early 2000s , pizz poor management , here is a suggestion thomases , sell the track before yall run it slap into the ground........

[#FALSuperman]

lol yep and he wanted tmac to complement on the track work but he did notYes, that was pretty funny! T-Mac was like..."no, not really. If they're going to open up the top, they need to scrape the bottom and even the track out for us." Good stuff

[Highside Hustler25]

Get a load of this...funny stuff!https://twitter.com/ChrisFerguson22/status/929550906642845697

I caught that in the DoD video. Priceless.

To those knockin the announcer, he may not be a James Essex or a Rick Eschelman, but not to many could do that job. Not at easy as it looks.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

lol yep and he wanted tmac to complement on the track work but he did notThat is probably the most pi$$ed, irritated, I’ve ever seen Timmy. And that announcer, I’ll pass.

Wesley Outland should know these guys. I dont know of he gets so excited he just loses his mind or what. I remember last year, he called a local mod driver in my area Kenny Davey "the juice" Johnson. Kenny and Davey are 2 different people and drive 2 different types of cars. I dont know how the guy keeps getting gigs.

[Clayton_Wetter]

He cant till a garden! oops ha ha ha
