[MI Dirt Fan]

No they are racing. 28 cars.

[Centeroff]

Appreciate it. Any updates if you don’t mind?

[Centeroff]

Bad signals up there.

[Illtsate32]

[Mindwalker]

Bloomer went from 4th to 19th and the race hadn't even started yet 😀

[chupp n bloomer fan]

would love to see that 12 car in victory laneDidn’t you used to dislike Jameson?

[pink floyd]

correct, when he was racing with the lanigan gang

[Illtsate32]

I would too got em as my 5th

[NY DIRT]

lineup shows Bloomer starting 7th in first heat. Evidently he did not qualify 5th overall

[Centeroff]

Showed him an 11.1 on second lap. No clue what happened

[Centeroff]

They put him to the tail. Had a unapproved screwdriver in his toolbox and pulled a tear off as he started his second lap. Lol that Francis is slow on the track and fast to put the zero to the tail

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Francis just figures he might as well start him where hes going to finish. Francis is sharp as a tack!

[Clayton_Wetter]

Having fun????? :confused:

Bobby & Bloomer both in B mains??

[rickybrown1952]

How many transfer to feature

[Mindwalker]

Entirely different ball game this weekend.

[Mindwalker]

Ain't worth the money it cost

Neither is a hooker but they get the job done 😀

[Mindwalker]

Having fun????? :confused:

Until you showed up. 😁

[Kwd1253]

How many transfer to feature

I would say top 3 or 4.. they only ran 3 heats for 28 car field and think they run 24 cars for feature.

[Kwd1253]

It's top 6 from each heat

[zyoung25]

Cant always trust race monitor

When a race track is located in a bad service area, it's kind of hard for it work. It may not be worth it the casual fan, but its pretty vital at the track when helping a team. Most of the time, you can't even hear the PA system in the pit areas.

[allthegoodnamesaretaken]

To chupp n bloomer fan, in regards to Pink Floyd liking Jameson now, it’s all about the chassis he is in. He’s in a Swartz now and apparently is forgiven of the tire doping and being a tad rough. Remember when Pink cried foul over the little rub on the last lap at Florence between Jameson and linville? Oh yeah linville was in a Swartz. Any time anybody has been caught doping tires Pink has been pretty vocal with his displeasure. But when ole Jackie Boogs gets rough or gets caught doping tires like at atomic, it’s nothing but crickets from his camp, he gets the “Swartz free pass”.

[Chris Thomason]

Neither is a hooker but they get the job done 

Haha! Good one old man. You'd be in trouble if you paid per pound

[pink floyd]

always good too see a Swartz in victory lane

[Mindwalker]

I owned the cow. Hookers are cheaper 

[MI Dirt Fan]

Owens leading JD under 10 to go

[Illtsate32]

What happened to Jameson on the start...JD wins Owens must of broke with a few to go...

[Chris Thomason]

Thanks everybody that chipped in for updates

[pierceFAN]

thanks for the updates mi dirt fan

[Illtsate32]

Owens Richards Pierce all fall out running in top ten Owens had it won dont know what happened...

[Centeroff]

Owens can’t catch a break. He earned that one

[mopar92]

What happened to Owens ? JD completely gifted a win.

[MI Dirt Fan]

No idea. He had a 2 second lead with under 10 to go.

[pierceFAN]

hey wait a minute????...I thought it was easy to win in your home state and it was easy...

[Illtsate32]

Jackie Rumley tweeted Owens blew up leading with 2 to go...

[Centeroff]

Does anyone know if Scott pitted? Race monitor was crazy all night. With 35 to go he was 20th

[Centeroff]

Erb seemed to be fast on the clock. Especially late

[MI Dirt Fan]

Says Owens pulled to the infield due to smoke coming out of the car.

[Illtsate32]

? Also Jameson he was in back after a few laps he started front row

[MI Dirt Fan]

Does anyone know if Scott pitted? Race monitor was crazy all night. With 35 to go he was 20th

Pitted lap 14 for a flat RR

[Illtsate32]

Bobby was charging up through the field too according to rm wonder if he broke a motor too...

[pierceFAN]

nope rear end

[Illtsate32]

Another one?

[pierceFAN]

yup that's #2

[Centeroff]

Those tiger rearends are over rated and expensive AF. You shouldn’t break 2 rearends in 10 races

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Sadly, you are correct.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

What a shame for Owens. Picked him too. Knew he’d be tough at The Taz and Flo.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Ain't worth the money it costI canceled it myself.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I had owens also.

[TerryM]

With about ten to go, Davenport cleared lapped traffic and started reeling Owens in. Was going to be interesting even if Owens hadn’t broken. Owens was faster middle and low, and JD was clearly faster up top. Richards with terrible luck once again. Easily the worst luck on the series so far this year. Davenport is the man. I can’t see anyone beating him for the title.

[MRM]

Does anyone know if Scott pitted? Race monitor was crazy all night. With 35 to go he was 20th

Bloomquist pitted numerous times.

[BloomerHarvickFan]

Bloomquist has been so streaky this year. I mean Florida was a disaster, then he gets it going and finished in the top 2 in 5 straight races...now he finishes out of the top 10 in 3 straight races...
Back to trailing the points lead by 295. This is going to be a yo-yo season for him, I do believe.

[#FALSuperman]

Jackie Rumley tweeted Owens blew up leading with 2 to go...It was 5 to go...JD led laps 46-50. Definitely hard luck for Owens. He runs great at Tazwell.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Don't think Jameson has a Christmas card coming from Richards.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Don't think Jameson has a Christmas card coming from Richards.I’m pretty sure he gets very few Christmas cards from drivers. He’s with the right gang now to drive that way at least.:)

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I had owens also.I figured Owens is so tough at Taz and Flo, just take him. I’m sure ya had JD so you’re good, but my other was Bloomer. Who usually also runs well at both. And he stunk at Taz.

[Kwd1253]

I had Josh and Jimmy 😭 both was running great 1 & 2.. Josh had motor problem, it's OK Jimmy leading 5 to go poof there goes Jimmy. Congrats to JD, TMac and don finishing 1-3.

Jameson will get Xmas card from me. Because he managed to take out lanigan 😂😂 sucks that Vick and Gregg got dnf because off his (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ty driving.

[Kwd1253]

Hope Scott don't run to bad tonight. Going have put mind walker and centeroff on suicide watch if he does lol

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Hope Scott don't run to bad tonight. Going have put mind walker and centeroff on suicide watch if he does lol

They already are! Hes going to take lead next month. They are shopping for a big "L" to put on the spoiler!😁😁

[Mindwalker]

No worries over here on the Bloomer side. I'd be worried for the Bobby bunch tho... Hope they were ready 😁

[Mindwalker]

Bloomquist pitted numerous times.

He had stomach flu, diarrhea.

[Kwd1253]

Lmao @ S.S. and Blackie... if bloomer and Bobby run like they did last night. Going have take it lil easy on centeroff. the Bobby fans well I might have to turn off the TV, radio and Internet for couple days not hear about his fans jumping off bridges and building windows lol.


Points after the bad fast blowing motor track 😂 top 5

1. JD. 2790
2. Richards. 2550 -240
3. Bloomquist 2495 -295
4. Pearson. 2490 -300
5. TMac 2460 -330

[Illtsate32]

Pierce said he though he had a top 3 car last night before he broke, so on that note im happy they are finally getting the car to come around...

[TackyTracker]

thought those tiger rear ends were supposed to be reliable??

[hucktyson]

The strongest best rear ends in the world ... say the ads ... I’ve never used anything but winters and never had a single rear end problem. And but in the 90’s and early 2000’s I used to race every week. All of these company’s like tiger and bulldog all claim their stuff is stronger than kryptonite but yet I constantly see top guys DNF with broken rear ends and top guys always have fresh new stuff and they are still breaking lol

[Illtsate32]

Ya Winters has been in the game forever and proven thats what I would have under me...

[Kwd1253]

Illtsate32 and huck agree with each other, I'm afraid to go outside now lol. If centeroff, s.s., Blackie and Piercefan all agree to samething that when the apocalypse going to start.

[jlacey]

I also took Owens for Taz and Florence. Took Roberts also considering no matter which series he went with they were all tracks he usually shows up for big shows. Shoulda went with Wells or Bailes like i initially planned

[golddirt]

Rears don't normally break often so may want to switch

[MI Dirt Fan]

Last year Madden broke like 2-3 driveshafts in the first month or so.

[Swampy121]

I took EPJ just because he seems to be more consistent so far and lucked out. Hate that for Owens tho.

Bloomer didnt do me any favors with his multiple pit stops, but better than Richards and Pierce.

[Kromulous]

Early 90's and 2000's you had 725 hp 600 ft lbs of torque on a good day, try over 910 or so and over 725 ft lbs of torque now days. It will make a difference in durability.

All you have to do is catch a hole just right, tire bounces, it lands catches traction and you snap axles or rear end gears. Quick changes no matter the brand are immune to it. A 9 inch Ford can break a pinion gear with as little as 500 hp, seen it, been there done it.

Your not breaking a rear end due to shear load, its load then slack then load is when they break, and how could HP and TQ not be a factor? that doesn't even make since.

[hucktyson]

Top fuel cars make 10,000 hp , the back tires make slightly more traction than an LM40 AND no one mistakes the starting line at a top fuel caliber venue as “ the black ice “ of Florence speedway. The HP is all relative , parts and pieces need to be engineered for their anticipated useage .... Yes we have more power now but we also have better materials and machinery also

[MI Dirt Fan]

Loses the motor at the 18 minute mark.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fROGL_EmaNw

[Illtsate32]

Valvetrain most likely..couple points taller gear may have got him to the end...

[Swampy121]

Didn't waste any time pulling off after a couple puffs of smoke. Probably smart. May have lost the race but didn't do anymore damage to the engine.

[Centeroff]

I just watched the heats and feature on DOD and good Lord all mighty is Jason Jamison is the biggest swarper, loose cannon or whatever you want to call it that I’ve ever seen behind the wheel. Racing beside this guy is like playing Russian roulette. He is worse than SS on vacation at the beach pay go kart track.

[Highside Hustler25]

You got that right about Jamison. Reminds me of a pinball bouncing off of everything around him. Richards got tired of his shenanigans real quick. Karma is a bad word.

[3 wide]

Well it was nice to see that they found somebody to work the race track it looked a lot better and fast time was close to the track record

[Clayton_Wetter]

Yes the track did look a lot better for sure!! That place is awesome!

[TerryM]

It was a dust bowl, parking is a nightmare, low car count as always, concessions are inadequate, and the facility is terrible, but otherwise ... it was great lol. And don't get me started on the old man who lives next door to the track. I'll be carrying my gun next time.

[NormP]

You're from Kentucky, one of the top three gun-friendliest states in the nation, if not the top--I figured you packed a gun all the time anyway!

I don't typically carry when I go to the races, but I will next time I go to Tazewell lol. The man said he built the track and the current owners screwed him out of $100,000. I guess seeing the big crowd set him off lol, but he pulled a gun out and was threatening people with it.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I guess seeing the big crowd set him off lol, but he pulled a gun out and was threatening people with it.That’s f?cked up. Self defense ok, ticked off over a good showing, large crowd, not there/your fault. Take it up with the new owners in court. Not the fans. Good way for him to escalate a situation.

[Centeroff]

100k is a bunch of bacon. He should have finished the job. Fkn crooks make it while the honest working man struggles. Bet the track owner is a Democrat/liberal

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bet the track owner is a Democrat/liberal

Not to get into the while political thing but is that even possible?

[Centeroff]

New age democracy is basically a liberal democracy that would sell their children’s soul for a price. Take this from an ex democrat pre Obama administration

[Mindwalker]

Illtsate32 and huck agree with each other, I'm afraid to go outside now lol. If centeroff, s.s., Blackie and Piercefan all agree to samething that when the apocalypse going to start.

How do you know I dont agree with them all and just stirring it up? 😀

[TackyTracker]

I think most of us want you to find something else to do??????????????????????????????????


or maybe get a smaller broom????????????????

I stand corrected, guess the early moisture went away fast after the photos.

Maybe the old geezer doesn't like dust and noise????

Disagree with the bitch'n. Track was great, minimal dust. Parking was fine (I didn't show up so late as to feel compelled to park in the gunslinger's yard). 28/29 cars is enough for a good show (and the support classes had cars too). And if the dining experience and overall spit n' polish are not up to your standards, maybe dirt tracks aren't for you.

Sure there are things they could improve upon. #1 for me is that the first heat race didn't hit the track until almost 10:00. But the racing was good, and that's what we're there for, right?

[MRM]

So the track was pretty good after all? It's been a while since I've been down to my favorite track.

We left there completely blanketed in dust. Parking always sucks at Tazewell. I've been going there for 20 years, so I know. It is what it is. We got there an hour before the drivers meeting. Three heat races for a Lucas show is disappointing, but that's the usual at Tazewell. A lot of drivers don't like it. Didn't eat the track's food. It's not that big a deal. Been to over 100 tracks the last 45 years. Seen a lot of great facilities and plenty of bad ones. That's dirt racing. Despite your concerns, I think I'll keep going.

[TerryM]

P.S. - Me, my wife, and son had a great time, other than meeting the psycho next door lol.

[TerryM]

If it's who I think it is, his elevator doesn't go to the top floor. :D
Probably the same guy. I'm not sure this guy even has a top floor. Has a nice looking yard though lol.

[denopolis23]

I've been there a few times over the years and this was one of the better prepped tracks that I've seen. Normally it's rougher than a cobb and one lined at times. This track was in way better shape. And I have to say it seemed there were quite a few more good lookin' women walking the stands, or maybe I'm just getting even more willing the older I get haha
