SN at Lincoln

[MI Dirt Fan]

Figured I would start the update thread by asking how much of a points lead might Shirley need to clinch it before Oakshade?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Gordy Gundaker has dropped off the tour.

[MI Dirt Fan]

He was tied with Feger for third in the points...

[Hollis]

Mrs. Gundaker said he hurt a motor

[WildBill32]

I hope it comes down to the last race of the tour for the points. I plan on going to the last four races of the Hell tour.

[Highside Hustler25]

He was tied with Feger for third in the points...

Uh, sorry.

Going into Lincoln...

Feger-951
Gordy-896

[MI Dirt Fan]

Uh, sorry.

Going into Lincoln...

Feger-951
Gordy-896
Must be wrong on DoD then. (Shocking)

[Highside Hustler25]

Must be wrong on DoD then. (Shocking)

If so, he was mysteriously given 55 phantom points.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Gundaker now plans on running his brother's crate tonight, and will have an engine in his car tomorrow for the remainder of the tour.

30 bucks to watch that caliber of drivers no thanks this whole tour should cost no more then 20 bucks tops. Do u guys remeber when sn races were 15?

[DC63122]

This is a make up date correct they could not reschedule the powri midgets back yet add the b mods and its still $30 for a 5 grand to win race that's BS.

Yes we also remember when gas was .97 cents a gallon.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Yes we also remember when gas was .97 cents a gallon.

And quite a few other things were less expensive

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Yes we also remember when gas was .97 cents a gallon.And bread was a nickel

[champion24]

18 supers!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

18 supers!That's pitiful.

[MI Dirt Fan]

I didn't know the price of events was suppose fluctuate based on what talent is going to be there.

I hate to be the guy to determine that...

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Track prep now, qualifying next. 3 groups.

[Cardirt0]

Yes we also remember when gas was .97 cents a gallon.

I can remember when it was 19.9 a gallon for 260 Sunco and i drove a 500 HP 64 Nova Wheel puller car on the street.

[Mams]

DOD shows two groups for qualifying

[t3r3e3]

I hope it comes down to the last race of the tour for the points. I plan on going to the last four races of the Hell tour.

It might. If the last few races are any indication, the guy who might play a key role in the points battle is Mike Hammerle. The guy gets lapped about every 4-5 green laps, and serves as a pick/roadblock depending on if a lead lap guy is running high/low. Car is way too slow to be out on the track come feature time. I get it that the guy has run the tour off and on for a long time, but at some point you have to get out of the way. Not trying to bash the guy, but he's way too slow.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Group A fast time: Frank Heckenast Jr 13.163

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Babb up in smoke in qualifying. Back-up car coming out now.

[Zonks32x]

30 bucks to watch that caliber of drivers no thanks this whole tour should cost no more then 20 bucks tops. Do u guys remeber when sn races were 15?

Sure, we all remember when SN races were $15. TV and radio were still free. Only difference today is it now cost $25-$30 to buy a ticket to the races and the drivers are still racing for the SAME $5k.

You can save $ and watch on-line, but the drivers you're paying to watch don't see $0.01 of that money.

So who's really taking the driveshaft?

We (in general) want 55 cars in the pits, including all the "stars," for 100 laps, on a track that's not too tacky, but not too slick, with three distinct racing grooves, done by 10pm...
and ALL for just $15.

Helps explain why there's only 18 supers in the pits tonight.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Group B fast time: Rusty Schlenk 13.207

[Shiny Side Up 18]

6 of the 18 cars are crates.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Babb up in smoke in qualifying. Back-up car coming out now.

Curious to know has he been running the same motor since the start? Have they alternated between both cars during the start as well? Anyone know?

[Clayton_Wetter]

Way to go MI, I missed looking there!

[RRRKKK]

Same deal at Quincy last night 6 to 8 crates added to make the feature, they were in the way as was
Hammerly. Quincy really sucked way too wet over an hour late starting. Track so rough it almost bicycled several cars. Heckencast broke as did Babb, think maybe 8 cars running at end. Sad to see Quincy in such poor shape. I can walk to track and last night was my first and last trip.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

All heats complete. 3 features to go and we're done.

Not trying to bash the guy, but he's way too slow.I do understand that you are not bashing the guy and he is is slow but I respect mr Hammerle that he still races a Late. Now back in the day he was very good

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Shirley pops a few wheelies on the pit bike on the way back to the pits.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Back to my original question. How much of a point lead does he need to officially clinch it?

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

Back to my original question. How much of a point lead does he need to officially clinch it?

With 5 races left he’d need to be about 200 ahead...
