Some interesting pre race notes here

https://www.dirtondirt.com/racewire3655.html

[MI Dirt Fan]

Eshelman will be helping out doing the announcing before heading to the WoO events after tonights show.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

The track is taking a lot of rubber in hotlaps.

[pierceFAN]

Should be an interesting summernationals this year... How long do you think moyer will follow?...hes got a lot of Laps at these tracks and could rack up a bunch of wins

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Group A fast time: Billy Drake 13.505

[Barbecueboy]

I see nick Hoffman making a little noise on the hell tour this year............

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Group B fast time: Brandon Thirlby 13.543

[Illtsate32]

I see nick Hoffman making a little noise on the hell tour this year............

Me too BBQ...I've always liked Drake too I hope he runs the whole series...he's got a real shot to win tonight...

[MI Dirt Fan]

The track is taking a lot of rubber in hotlaps.

Illinois tracks do that???

[plunks7]

I see my home boy is their tonight (Tyler Bruening). I wonder if he plans on running the entire tour?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Track has been watered and Modified heats are on track now.

[Illtsate32]

Hope race monitor fires up...

[plunks7]

Hope race monitor fires up...

Only for Late Models it should.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Only for Late Models it should.It's supposed to work for both. It did earlier.

[plunks7]

It's supposed to work for both. It did earlier.

That would be nice!!

[cjp0354]

I love seeing this big of and quality field of cars at the first race, but I’m afraid it may discourage a few drivers from running the whole thing. I’m going to say a couple of guys that thought about running the entire thing won’t even make the first race.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Late model heats on track now.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Heat 1 transfers: Drake, Gardner, Moyer, Weisser.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Heat 2 transfers: Shirley, Schlenk, Bennett, Culp.

[Mindwalker]

That would be nice!!

Hey buddy, hows it going?

[Mindwalker]

Thanks ssu18

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Heat 3 transfers: Feger, Thirlby, Murray, Hess.

[plunks7]

Hey buddy, hows it going?

Good Thanks

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Heat 4 transfers: BMJ, Heckenast, Hoffman, Gundaker. Heats complete.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

The heats were choo choo trains, and the announcer keeps calling Gundaker "Cody Gundigger".

[Cardirt0]

Going to be one of them glad i did not go races at Ptown.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

C-Main up next, top 4 advance to the B.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Then they only take 2 from the B. Ouch

[thexfactor0210]

With this many cars they need to take more from the B's and start 24.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

C-Main transfers: Shannon, Moos, Griffaw, Hummer.

[plunks7]

Thanks for the updates Shiny, appreciate them!!!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

B-main on track. Top 2 transfer. 4 provisionals. Feger drew pole for the feature.

[MI Dirt Fan]

16 car Bmain.

[thexfactor0210]

Anyone know what the 4 provisionals are for?

[MI Dirt Fan]

With this many cars they need to take more from the B's and start 24.

What about 5 from the heat and 2 from each Consi or 5 from each heat and 4 from the Bmain even with 2 transferring from the C to the B?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

B-main transfers: Babb, Jackson. Unzicker and Erb fail to transfer. Track may be shot, as all cars turned faster and faster laps.

[buschman]

Whoever that announcer is, he needs to go. He probably went to announcer college, but he’s mispronouncing a lot of names and sponsors. If he says rock ‘n roll one more time... Makes you appreciate Eschelman and Essex so much more.

[Mindwalker]

Any mention of farming or did they?

[MI Dirt Fan]

It's a rookie announcer from New Mexico to call the entire tour. Maybe that's why Eshelman is there tonight???

[Hollis]

He the new sn announcer. Rick is supposed to be helping?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Provisionals: Unzicker, Stubber, Spatola, Shannon.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

He the new sn announcer. Rick is supposed to be helping?He's......trying.

[Cardirt0]

Past winners of the SN D Erb does not get one thats wrong.

[huskerdirt]

The announcer is Rueben Mireles. He’s from Southern New Mexico Speedway. If you watched the stuff from Arizona the last few years. You probably heard him and didn’t even know it.

The kid is fresh out of high school(or maybe a year after), halfway across the country, announcing at tracks he’s never even seen with drivers he’s unfamiliar with.

Let’s cut him some slack before we harp on the kid. I’ve heard him announce before and he’s pretty good for as young as he is.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

20 minutes to curfew, hornet feature is still on track, with mods to follow. I sincerely hope the curfew is waived for tonight...

[Shiny Side Up 18]

40 lap A-main coming up.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

LMs on track. We beat the curfew by 2 minutes.

[MI Dirt Fan]

They can still race as long as they are on track before the curfew time?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Allen Murray spins on the restart and a pileup ensures. 2m t2 15 56 40c involved.

[Mindwalker]

They can still race as long as they are on track before the curfew time?

Apparently so. Never heard of it before

[Shiny Side Up 18]

The curfew is usually "Last race on track by 10:15". We beat it by 2 minutes.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Back to green. 30 to go.

[Mindwalker]

[Highside Hustler25]

They need to dig this place up make room for more flood water.

And anchor you to the bottom of it.

[Highside Hustler25]

I'm with Husker on the announcer. I thought he did a great job other than a few mispronounced names. Talked a lot about the drivers and was very informative.

[Mindwalker]

Oh my!!!!!

[Zonks32x]

Me too BBQ...I've always liked Drake too I hope he runs the whole series...he's got a real shot to win tonight...

Call of the night!! Nice job.

[MUD MAESTRO]

When will promoters learn.........Get the main attraction ....the one I paid 25 bucks to see on the track before any of the support groups. No wonder why it's called the HELL Tour. They put the fans through Hell before the main event. My next SN event will be at Sycamore.......expecting a better run show.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

The most exciting part of the night was the near fisticuffs between two hornet drivers in their feature (which ran first...). There were TWO track prep intermissions, and it STILL locked down during the B-main. There's a reason I choose to drive 1.5 hours to FALS instead of 15 minutes to Peoria.

Be careful Highside have you tied to the bottom of the lake with me.

I'm sure that with the heavy thunderstorms that hit a day ahead of time was one reason the track did not get as much watering as needed . With the water pooled up in the infield, one would think the track would have had more moisture in it. This was not the norm for Peoria Summernats.
And yes, the track was taking rubber before the mods finished their hotlaps. Once the lates ran their's you could tell the track was done. It's a drag, but it does happen from time to time. I'm also 15 minutes to Peoria and 1 1/2 to FALS as well. Kind of tough comparison using Fairbury with any other track around central Il. I sometimes drive to FALSas well. But just because a track missed it, I don.t go on social media stating that I hope it closes. Pretty pathetic for a supposed race fan.

Sorry, I should have made that a 2 part post. The closing part was directed for someone else. Not you.

[Cardirt0]

I never said that I wanted it to close...

He was speaking to me. He dont like me no more then i like him. I could care less LOL

[Zonks32x]

Well...with all that out of the way, then you won't mind if I or anyone else states that we don't care that you don't care.

Go get a hug, or a beer, or maybe both. You'll feel better.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Time to bring out these oldies but goodies!!! :)

I could care less what you think.You been on here for a few years I been on here for 20

[Zonks32x]

20 years huh, really!?!? You joined in 2007.

Apparently you "care less" about being factual too.

For those of us that can do two-digit subtraction without having to take our shoes off...that makes 11 years.

Congrats you've been on 4m a long time. Where should we send the trophy?

[MI Dirt Fan]

I joined in 2007 but I was also a member before the board was reset. So you can't go by that.

[plunks7]

I as well zonks.

[Highside Hustler25]

You three logged in from the Merryville Senior Assisted Living home:confused:

[chupp n bloomer fan]

You three logged in from the Merryville Senior Assisted Living home:confused:Lol. Nope, I was probably in either Logan, Ohio, or my first apartment in Lancaster at the time. Wanna say 04’ maybe. Possibly earlier.

I hear you...

And I was a member before 2013, and had to re-set my membership...(and nobody, including myself is concerned in the least about it). To quote Bill Murray in Meatballs, "It just doesn't matter."

My initial point in this thread remains unchanged.

If CD doesn't care, then why does he respond "he doesn't care" to HH, myself, or anyone else? Just let it roll...

We're hanging out with the boys talking racing here, and everyone catches a little grief and sarcasm once in awhile. EVERYONE.

The only reason for someone to point out how long they've been here is A) they want recognition for it, or B) they mistakenly believe that length of time on 4m adds or subtracts credibility to one's post/opinions.

The argument could be made that 100% of us that have been here for 5+ years, have some kind of issue(s).

But it's all good. Every forum needs an ee-yore, and CD apparently embraces that role.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I know I will.
