Eams Sunday updates

[champion24]

44 Cat, Clint Smith won limited over 85 Johnson. RJ had him with 2 to go, but Cat slid him and RJ hit the brakes! Cut him a big break! 92 brown was coming on the top too and was 3rd.

[No_Weak_Links]

Do you have starting line-up?

[champion24]

Super front row is Owens & T Mac.

[No_Weak_Links]

Oh. They said yesterday that top 16 in average finish were locked in, but that those 16 would draw for starting spot. Guess not.

[champion24]

Track is black adn slick, mostly smooth. Holes/rough in both ends on the very top. They'll work on it before supers.

[champion24]

23 Rocketman Stevens won hobby over 2 Doneth. Good race

[champion24]

Crates now, then mini. Then track work/hot dog sales!

[Highside Hustler25]

Shame on them Super guys beatin up on them crate racers

[champion24]

Owens "stole" a local drivers crate ride!!

[dirtdobber45]

Thanx for the updates..

[champion24]

116 Overton won crate. Led them all. Good racing behind him.

[Highside Hustler25]

Is that Johnathon Davenport in the 4 cylinder race?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Is that Johnathon Davenport in the 4 cylinder race?

Yes! Had to tale a past champ provisional.
Starts last. Look for him to get up on the wheel

[Highside Hustler25]

Congrats to Johnathan on the win:cool:

[CarolinaDirt]

The 72 hours of EAMS rolls on how long till the supers ?

[Highside Hustler25]

I think they're next. Prob doing track work

[No_Weak_Links]

I'm not watching, but I assume it's intermission, cake walk, 50/50, kids meeting, fireworks, potato sack race, tug of war, mud wrestling time right now?

[Centeroff]

My race monitor has been stuck on the 4 bangers race showing 12 laps to go

[nuff said]

It is. And it's FWD's at that.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Whats the temp?

Dam cold!!!! :)

[thexfactor0210]

Is race monitor free or do you have to pay?

[gb81racing]

$5 a year for race monitor

[Swampy121]

It is. And it's FWD's at that. Those Chevy Cavaliers need to hurry it up

[a25rjr]

Been under a rain delay for about an hour.

[a25rjr]

Hows the kid doing that wrecked the hobby car or whatever it was he flipped the other night, anyone heard?

One of his family posted a pic of him smiling in the hospital. They said the catscan showed nothing.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Billy Nipper hard crash today

[Cardirt0]

Can u make monthly payments?

I have never payed for RM its Free

[nuff said]

And its probably more then obvious who will win... Lol
The 5j car has been leading for around 2 hours.

[adamconners]

Been under a rain delay for about an hour.Thing is... they were watering the track WHILE it was RAINING

[bleedblue55]

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

What a joke this has been!

[Cardirt0]

Glad I did not pay to watch this mess...

[a25rjr]

They are currently packing the track......with $100k racecars! smh

[AllenK]

One of his family posted a pic of him smiling in the hospital. They said the catscan showed nothing.

There is video of the crash on the young man's wife's FB page....

[a25rjr]

I may get in trouble for posting this. It is from the young man's wife's FB page. It is FB video of DOD's video of the crash.

https://www.facebook.com/jamiekellley/videos/10214831704653351/

When I saw the aftermath pics with the whole body torn off and the motor and trans ripped out, I thought it would have been a whole lot worse. Glad he's ok though!

[nuff said]

Who won the 4 banger race, the guy who ran out front for hours? 

Yes sir....go 5j

[Cardirt0]

Cars on the track

[thexfactor0210]

Skippin b main?

[#FALSuperman]

Skippin b main?Correct....And they're playing Europe: "The Final Countdown" as the cars enter the track and line up. Followed by Triple H "Time to Play The Game" lol

[MEE]

why cant i c the chat room Fals

[race14]

I've been reading about what a joke this has turned into the transponder guy had enough and left among many others. I wonder if anyone is in the stands

[thexfactor0210]

Is anyone streaming it lol

[Swampy121]

I've been reading about what a joke this has turned into the transponder guy had enough and left among many others. I wonder if anyone is in the stands So will it still be on RM with the transponder guy gone?

[Pennsboro23]

Who’s on front row. Can’t find anything on lineup.

[#FALSuperman]

why cant i c the chat room FalsNot sure...turned my off buddy.

[#FALSuperman]

Owens T-Mac front row

[#FALSuperman]

Got word that JD has decided track is too dangerous to chance...He's pulling off before race starts. Madden also out.

[MEE]

how many cars will over heat???

[#FALSuperman]

Whitener in the lead....yes, I said Whitener lol. Let's just hope this race doesn't hurt anyone. T-Mac, Bronson, McDowell, Owens top 5 with 88 to go

[#FALSuperman]

Wow...already swapping out helmets with 84 to go...caution out for everyone for equipment.

[#FALSuperman]

I don't even see how they will get through this race. McDowell's car is nothing but a pile of mudd.

[No_Weak_Links]

Next years National 100 will have 10 cars.

[MEE]

a lot of muddddd

[#FALSuperman]

76 to go...caution again. T-Mac, Bronson, McDowell, Whitener, Overton, Owens, Erb, Larson, Bloomquist, Bailes top 10.

[#FALSuperman]

The announcer just said "coming up on 11 AM eastern time" :D

[Hoosier]

Is anyone streaming it lol

If it's too rough for Davenport it must be bad.Whitener is a pretty good shoe,he just usually races in Fla an South Ga. and doesn't get a lot of recognition.

[AllenK]

Tmac in the lead. That live FB feed is pretty dang good!

[#FALSuperman]

If it's too rough for Davenport it must be bad.Whitener is a pretty good shoe,he just usually races in Fla an South Ga. and doesn't get a lot of recognition.JD came onto the track and basically decided it just wasnt worth it. Correct...No disrespect at all to him. Just not your everyday name up front in a big race.

[#FALSuperman]

65 to go caution for Whitener...T-Mac, Bronson, McDowell, Erb, Bloomer top 5

[AllenK]

Caution for Overton....

[AllenK]

Bloomer,Bailes,Overton,and another car involved in wreck.

[AllenK]

They might be the only ones left before it's all over!

[AllenK]

McDowell to 2nd....

[race14]

Bloomer leads 17 to go

[lw82]

Only 6 cars left 15 to go

[AllenK]

This is one of the craziest races I've ever seen. For real.

[lw82]

15 to go D Mc Erb tMac zero. Scott pitted under ccaution

[AllenK]

These guys want Bloomquist to win really badly! Lol.

[nuff said]

He pitted and went allll the way to the back with 15 to go.

[race14]

McDowell wins by 2 ft.

[nuff said]

They didn't want to give up all that track position.

[AllenK]

McDowell by a fender over Bloomer! Wow.

[Centeroff]

Looked like the changed a shock on the left rear under that last caution but something definitely broke. The best car didn’t win tonight! Happy for 17m though. Good people

[slmcrewchief99]

I'm assuming it was a slugfest from a rutted up cornfield if a whole 5 cars finished. Wow... Smdh

[Centeroff]

Never seen the zero popping off a cushion like that. Looked like the offspring of JD and Pierce out the banging that cushion lol

[champion24]

Wow!! Hate I missed the big race! What a weekend!

[nuff said]

Must of been bad.2 of the best in the business managed to survive 100 laps and make it exciting at the end.Attaboy 17m.

[AllenK]

I hate for TMac. Don't know if he would've been there at the end,but he was walking the dog until he jumped the cushion. He lost a fender,and it got jammed under Bloomquist's car!

[Vchild]

That was defanatly a hel ride.

[Swampy121]

Bloomer can't be too disappointed with both his chassis taking first and second

[onlyfacts]

This race proves that some racers are not very smart. The ones that left are smarter and money ahead of all the ones that raced and destroyed their equipment. And the smartest ones are the ones that stayed home this weekend.

[onlyfacts]

Bloomer can't be too disappointed with both his chassis taking first and secondThat’s quite the accomplishment with 5 cars left. And 2 were limping. 1hour 45mins to run feature. That is an enduro not a race.

Hahahaha the best in the business not very smart? Hopefully somebody comes up with something a little more intelligent then that 😀

[AllenK]

Race ended at almost Midnight EST,and I saw kids in the stands. Gonna be some cranky folks at work and school. My Dad and my wife and I went to the DTWC at Bluegrass in 2002. I was supposed to be off the Monday following the race,but got knocked out of that. The race was moved to Sunday,and didn't get over until late that night. I was working nights,but it still sucked having to drive all the way home with just a nap here and there and having to go to work that night. It was my birthday too. I sure didn't want to go to work that night for all those reasons.

Phenix City observes EST since Columbus,Ga is right across the border. Learned that from an ex co-worker of my wife from there.

[Vchild]

All the week links bailed....

[MI Dirt Fan]

Says on DoD Bloomquist changed a battery on lap 84

[Latemodel333]

This race would be a perfect example to promoters who are trying to push the envelope to get a show in due to weather/poor track conditions. Don't do it!!
Did they have no other options?

[Highside Hustler25]

Probably the worst example of a dirt race I've ever witnessed.

[#FALSuperman]

Guys, I fell asleep after Owens went off the Track. I am not the least bit suprised only 5 cars were left on the track. Kudos to the 5 who braved through that train wreck. Hopefully, they broke even. McDowell may have been the only one in the money! His wife wasn't thrilled at all about racing last night. 20K always helps you change your mind some, lol. Hey EAMS....Lets never do this again, Ok? Ok...good. Glad we had this talk!

[Vchild]

Lucas Oil race in 2016. Seems like Flinner finished 6th but I wanna say he was like 5 laps down but I'm not 100% sure.

[Kwd1253]

That a good respond. can't blame any drive loaded up early. But with this new cars, have they made cars to sensitive. McDowell said he had a little hole in his nose and was pushing hard, he had get out the gas coming into corner. Would drives have the same problem if they had 90's and below front nose?

Might be like NASCAR where they change the aero so the drives have to actually drive the car.

[Chris Thomason]

Some of you guys are a trip. Its easy to say shoulda did this and shoulda did that while looking at your phone and knowing nothing more than the results. They had race cars and fans from all over the country, the weather cleared out, and the ended up with a managable race track. It took some time and some MEN who wanted to RACE. Sure it took some time also ,but I dont see where anybody can get off saying it was "unsafe".... it was hammer down, no doubt, but turn back to the Friday portion if you want to discuss unsafe and torn up cars. What happened to the days of putting on a show and winning a TROPHY being the goal?? I for some F'ed up reason enjoy the Phenix City Le Mans... but I know thats what it is going in. I understand being frustrated if you were a first timer (there or watching DoD), thats how it goes there every year so be prepared if you participate again. If there is a legitimate complaint to be had... they should have went straight into the slm race without track prep. It was slick bottom to top and racey all over demonstrated by close finishes all dam day. The only race that was a run away was crate...1 race out of that big a$s achedule.... If they hadnt found a way to race when the weather broke I would have likely took some time away from the place.

THANK YOU eams for getting the race in. Thats what we all came to see ,and you pulled it off for the fans. Stinks we didnt have support from some of them, maybe they will stay home next year and we have a full field of true racers.

[jog49]

If some of the drivers were concerned about safety, then the fans are a secondary consideration.

[TBSprintFan]

Cedar Lake back when Bloomer beat Billy and said "hope everbody appreciated that ass kicking"? If I recall only 5 or six finished that one... Erb being one. I think Babb flippef it....

Was that the race where in accuality Bloomquist was a lap down when he came out of the pits. Cedar Lake screwed up on that one and the 1 of the owners even admitted so later on.

[Vchild]

Don't remember any screw ups.... Bloomer did win however. Many tore up cars and only a few survived much like last night.

Well said......imo the track wasn't that bad. I never saw any car get airborne like I have at some tracks.

I think they should let the slms run their feature toward the middle of the schedule, that would give them a better track and let them get outa there at a decent time.

Careful what you wish for. Their were about 7 or 8 big names in the field. Next year it might be a field made up of regional guys for 20 grand. Maybe.

[Chris Thomason]

Was their EMS on site during the National 100?

I really cant answer fairly sir. If you're asking of an actual ambulance then I'll say not that I saw. They did have some police officer and some type rescue truck there all through the event. The track mentioned saturday that the people abored said truck were trained paramedic or ems. Outland said they faced some criticisms for not having an ambulance on site for the Friday night cruiser wreck so that was apparently the reasoning for the explaination. I DID see the police and rescue truck drive out of the infield during the rain delay ,but they made a left and drove away from the exit of the facility. At that point I lost track of them. I thought it was about to be called off when left the infield because it happened shortly after the discrepency with the transponder guy

[Vchild]

Round here they won't let a car on the track until an ambulance is at least on it's way, near by.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Hows that saying go? When the going gets tough, jd gets going? Hahahaha

Didn't want to face a good whoopin' I guess.

Supposedly the actual paramedics and ambulance left during the rain delay.

[Chris Thomason]

Quote not working again.... CnB fan

I truely hope that is the reason, and I've got no reason to doubt your word. I guess you could say that it eludes to it ,but I wish he would have spelled that out better in the twitter post. From what I seen he doesnt even say that in responding to anyone complaining about the conditions (that were not out of hand). The track should be ashamed of themselves if the first responders were allowed to leave

[Vchild]

No track is going to run without ems.... Lmao!!!

[Vchild]

Sombody already tried saying the guys that ran wasn't smart... Don't make yourselves look as boneheaded as he.... 😎

[chupp n bloomer fan]

No track is going to run without ems.... Lmao!!!Yes they will. Just as they run without firemen. Chesley Dixon, Swainsboro, he got very lucky, gravity saved him.

[Vchild]

Yes they will. Just as they run without firemen. Chesley Dixon, Swainsboro, he got very lucky, gravity saved him.

Can't imagine a track taking that big of a risk... Surly if there was ems at eest Alabama they wouldn't leave before the end of the show? Thats a big liability issue!

[Highside Hustler25]

No track is going to run without ems.... Lmao!!!

Most in my area will not. Can remember many a times waiting for the ambulance to return before they would start the program back up. Most tracks don't want to pay for 2.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Most in my area will not. Can remember many a times waiting for the ambulance to return before they would start the program back up. Most tracks don't want to pay for 2.Yep. Tracks by me, same deal. Never heard of any of the safety crew stunts except in the South. Though I’m sure there are some all over.

[Kwd1253]

That stupid not having emergency responders at a track. Specially the condition at eams this pass weekend. Some of the best wheelmen where spinning and getting into each other more they usually do, some due to equipment failure because of track conditions. Glad nothing didnt, them guys stuck it out for chance get nice check and for the fans to see a crazy race.

[fastford]

CnB , the only time i have ever herd of no one having an ambulance when a car is on the track down here in the south , is from this bunch of jokers , when we went there back in the 90s and early 2000s , there would be 500 plus cars show up and money flying every where , they ruined that and now trying to save every dime , ITS THERE OWN DAM FAULT............

[Vchild]

Sounds like an excuse to me. Don't believe eams would run there main feature without ems somwhere on the grounds....

[Punisher88]

Oh yes they would. Lol. They always have. It's not state law in Alabama so they take advantage of it. They used to have a track owned ambulance that some folks that kinda knew the difference between an a$$hole and an elbow that were nothing more than track workers. It wasn't even legally allowed on the street.. it could only drive you to the parking lot outside to meet an actual ambulance..

[Vchild]

How far away from the track is there a fire station with ems personnel?

[Vchild]

Oh yes they would. Lol. They always have. It's not state law in Alabama so they take advantage of it.

Some pretty big names there racing.... Hard to believe the track would send ems home lol.

[fastford]

Some pretty big names there racing.... Hard to believe the track would send ems home lol.

evidently , you have had no dealing with the owners , the ones that have , have no problem believing it....

[Punisher88]

Bout 3 miles away is the closest volunteer fire station. It's closer to 6 or 7 miles to the closest real fire station. Which I'm honestly not sure they go to the track because it's not actually in the Phenix City city limits.

[jr29]

Davenport told Dirt On Dirt that the absence of EMT's was one reason that he pulled in.

Like a few others, I remember races being delayed on several occasions in my area on over the years while waiting on EMT's.

I believe I heard about a similar situation to this weekend's at a sprint car show in Missouri a year or two ago. I think one or two drivers refused to race that night.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Oh yes they would. Lol. They always have. It's not state law in Alabama so they take advantage of it. They used to have a track owned ambulance that some folks that kinda knew the difference between an a$$hole and an elbow that were nothing more than track workers. It wasn't even legally allowed on the street.. it could only drive you to the parking lot outside to meet an actual ambulance..I believe you 100%, and it’s a dam shame. No EMS, no fire, you should not race period.

And I wasn’t trying to pick on the South, just the two recent occurrences were in Ga and Ala. Though the Charlie Floyd one was Ohio.

[Chris Thomason]

You didnt come off as pickin on us CnB. Facts are facts...

I was mad at a few of the drivers at first, but you cant blame them if emegency crews were not there. Those minutes between a high speed slm crash and first responders coming from miles down the road could mean someones life. Thats for bringing this to light fellas...I enjoy going to the track and not having to pull against someone.

[NormP]

That's correct, never been there. Just saying the best in the sport raced so evidently they knew profession ems wasn't too far away.

Or they just flat out decided to take their chances.

If the closest firehouse was a volunteer firehouse then it could have been quite a wait depending on if anyone was hanging out in the station when the call came in, and even then I'm not sure how "professional" the response would have been.

I wouldn't have let the volunteer firefighters give me an aspirin for a headache when I lived up in the eastern part of the state.

So, we know for sure that, no ems were on the grounds, correct?

Insurance doesn’t demand they be there, what about common sense?

Common sense tells me the guys who finished the race wouldn't take a gamble like that if they weren't sure, in the event they need ems, there wasn't trained ems pretty dam close by.But you’ve already invested 3-4 days in that debacle, so you’re going to roll the dice to try and make some money. Most would, some wouldn’t. I can see both sides, but I would not roll the dice.

Only reason Chesley Dixon lived is because his c*ckpit was uphill at Swainsboro.
