[TerryM]

Thank you, Shiny.

[pierceFAN]

10 1/2 and 14 lol

well if pierce hit james ill take the over...but if james just got loose like the announcer said...ill take the under

[pierceFAN]

Pierce needs an a$$ beating

my thinking...unless you ARE the one gonna give the azz whooping...if he has one coming he will get one...hes a big boy..he can handle his business

[JabberJaws83]

well if pierce hit james ill take the over...but if james just got loose like the announcer said...ill take the under

I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out

[kidrock]

well if pierce hit james ill take the over...but if james just got loose like the announcer said...ill take the under

Can't wait to watch the race tomorrow morning and then I can make a more accurate bet lol

[JabberJaws83]

my thinking...unless you ARE the one gonna give the azz whooping...if he has one coming he will get one...hes a big boy..he can handle his business

Where do I sign up

[pierceFAN]

Can't wait to watch the race tomorrow morning and then I can make a more accurate bet lol

tomorrow?? im watching it tonight lol

[Illtsate32]

James screwed the pooch and felt stupid so he needed someone to blame, never seen someone spin someone on the outside when hugging the tires on a restart, James got overzealous trying to crowd Pierce down and broke the tires loose, how Bobby manhandled that ill driving pos I have no idea...Congrats Brandon and House car she handled like a dream once again...Bobby just said James lf got stuck in his rr so hows that his fault...

[pierceFAN]

Where do I sign up

you can find his schedule on his web page and go to his pit...but...ive got $100 that says you wont

[kidrock]

tomorrow?? im watching it tonight lol

lol...………………………………………………..


Sounds like a race of attrition!!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Pierce says in his interview that James came down and caught his left front on Bobby's right rear.

james has no room to accuse anybody of rough driving...hello pot...meet kettle

When has booby ever admitted fault?

[TackyTracker]

just go to bed

[pierceFAN]

wow...lets talk about something worth talking about....how about that sheppard guy??? he is having one heck of a start and at this rate he could have a davenport type year...

[ZERO25]

When has booby ever admitted fault?

He has nothing to admit......clearly James' fault!

[t4g2]

Cautions was pierces friend tonight.lets here Scott James side? If James hit Bobby's rr shouldn't he spin an not James? Hmm

[Illtsate32]

^^^t4g2 I know you have never sat behind a wheel of a racecar cause if you jump a tire with ur lf it will absolutely pull you around...stop hating...

[pierceFAN]

im gonna hold my opinions till i see the race replay

[Illtsate32]

Mike Harrison was talking about Brett Korves, an A Mod driver who runs in Stl area, he was killed in downtown Stl in a traffic accident, the guy that hit him has been charged with manslaughter...

[smooth32]

im gonna hold my opinions till i see the race replayThere's a thought. Ive noticed that most of the people on here that complain about something race related often comment without ever seeing the race.

[ImCryn2]

He has nothing to admit......clearly James' fault!

I agree. The broadcast sure made him look like a fool when they showed the replay right after he was raising he11 with Bob.

[Zonks32x]

Did anyone really think the way this race was going tonight that there wasn't going to be more fireworks in the final few laps??

Hope the fans felt they got their $ worth.

I'll tell you who everyone should be mad at. Boom Briggs. He is single-handedly responsible for the tendonitis the flagman is going to have for the next week after all those yellows. Besides his own car, how many others did Boom tear up at FC?

I'm sorry, but an emergency provisional should be given for failing to making the show due to an engine issue, flat tire, other mechanical issues, etc.

They should NOT be handed out b/c a driver had his head up his @$$ all weekend long and can't make 3 laps without spinning, hitting a tire, or wrecking other cars.

[#FALSuperman]

B-Shep on cruise control. There's the 1 car at the top and then everyone else on a different tier with WOO.

[NormP]

I'd go so far as to say Sheppard is at the top even if you combine the drivers on both series. He's in a league all by himself.

[Cardirt0]

I am Sorry BUT He spun him SELF..

[Cardirt0]

Bobby was low on the track, He did not move up at all, and they were laying on each other be for the flag went up. 83 spun and 32 did not SORRY 83.. Pulled the vid up and zoomed in and slow mod it and Bobby did not do it he ran his line.
2 people wanted the same spot 1 had it and keaped it

[Barbecueboy]

At least 60 posts by you-know-who lol.

And you would be incorrect and blubbering like an unpopular school girl.........like normal.

But you weren't trolling for a response I take it?? That's weak and something you never do......right?

One post should just about wrap it up in this case.

[kidrock]

After watching the video this morning I'm not sure who was at fault on that one. I could see I going either way or just chalking it up to a racing deal.

[turnleftandgasit]

I am usually willing to place any blame possible on Pierce, but I don't see it in this case. Any contact was minimal and as much self inflicted as it was given to James.

[Illtsate32]

I watched it again and as Cardirt said, both were not giving an inch, looked to me he wanted Bobbys spot on the track and lost that battle, and was too concentrated on that and in the mean time took himself out of the race, having a heck of a run too like Bobby said...

[zooker25]

Watched the video a few times and can't see how you could blame Bobby for that.

[NormP]

It's Scott James. I watched him turn Lanigan and push him sideways across the finish line at Florence a few years ago. Spring 50 or Fall 50, I don't remember which one. He's the fault of his own wrecks more often than not.

[t4g2]

Pierce can't pass em wreck em

[WildBill32]

Another great job by B-Shepp! Boom well... that name sure fits him when he is racing @ FC. James has no one to blame but himself on that one. But, to go after old man Bob after he F up. (Cum'On'Man) Like Bob was driving the car or something. Ugh... D-Sauve trying to get a interview of a driver when he is pissed.Lol... F-Bombs were sure flying... Good stuff though D-Sauve...

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Highside Hustler25]

Safe to say, things have not gone well for Boom @ Farmer Cty. Brent Larson seemed to be a pinball this weekend as well. I do think track conditions had a big part in a lot of the debacles this weekend.

I wish their was some way they could push this date a little deeper into April or even May. The tracks here in the Midwest take a beating with all the Spring rains. Not really your normal Farmer City surface as far as the ruts and such.

[SHOE32]

The simple fact that guys like Boom Briggs and Blake Spencer can run WoO races is an embarrassment to the sport. Many more deserving drivers with no $$$$ runni g regional shows aka Tyler Carpenter.

10 WoO races and B1 Brent Larson has used 8 provisionals and 99 Boom Briggs has used 7 provisionals.

I will say it again, it is time to limit the amount of provisionals drivers get per year. It's alright if the organization wants to pay them fuel mileage for running the full tour but c'mon, using this amount of provisionals is ridiculous especially for the amount of races run.

[SLMDIRTTM]

It is totally unbelievable that anyone who watches this video can put any blame on Pierce unless you just don't like him. This wasn't even a racing deal, all on James. He clearly comes down on Pierce and looses it. I'd even give James the doubt that he thought he wasn't as close to o Pierce as he was and that's even a stretch! Fake news if you blame Pierce!

[bullring]

Sad state of affairs in racing allowing guys that many provisionals. How about limiting them to one every two races. Lol

Exactly. Been preaching it for years but I doubt they ever change. If not for those provisionals, they would only have about 8 to 10 guys run the tour. Guys like Larson and Briggs wouldn't dream of following it.

Their definitely needs to be a cap on them. Not sure the number.

[JabberJaws83]

It’s a double edged sword with provisionals.

[Loobs_07]

anyone have any video or link of the Scott James interview when he got out of the car?

[Loobs_07]

speaking on provisionals. At least briggs and Larson have some decent showings here and there and are capable of winning regionally.. what I don't understand is why guys like Spencer follow it or are given provisionals.. Not even competitive locally. just about spins out every time on the track. hot laps, heat race, feature you name it.

[Dlmfan123]

anyone have any video or link of the Scott James interview when he got out of the car?Dod usually archives the live videos in a few days

[Illtsate32]

Not sure it was an official interview I think it was just part of the live broacast where D-Suave asked him what happened and he was yelling watch the f'n video. D-Suave and them guys were like ya ok dude lol...

[Cardirt0]

Not sure it was an official interview I think it was just part of the live broacast where D-Suave asked him what happened and he was yelling watch the f'n video. D-Suave and them guys were like ya ok dude lol...

And then we did and we still LOL at him for saying it..

[pierceFAN]

When it comes to provisionals....try to look at it like this...fans travel miles and miles and spend lots of hard earned money to go to a race to see their favorite driver...let's just say that driver doesn't get in....not talking about back markers....I'm talking about drivers who put butts in the seats....the butts that spend money...drivers like pierce....bloomer...Davenport...shepp....etc etc...I see two sides....as a fan...I say screw it...you didn't race your way in...tuff luck...better luck next time....but as a promoter...I want to make sure the top drivers that people are traveling to see get in the show...and not to short the smaller local teams...I think the track promoter should be able to put one of his regulars in....its good for business

[IL LM Fan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iw1SmhhNo If you're impatient, the 10:50 mark will put you right before the Pierce/James incident.

[Clayton_Wetter]

Pierce has the worst handling car ive ever seen lol...

But still near the front, that's rich!!!

[TackyTracker]

congrats to b-shepp.. didn't see anything w Pierce & James just racing actually 83 car should have just ran top 5 & went home

[golddirt]

Just watched that. It’s all on Scott.

[t4g2]

Congrats b shep. Same with pierce he got lucky to even make the feature. An he was good on short runs but long runs he'd fade in feature. Really didn't pass many cars as a lot fell out in front of him. Feature was caution fest. 54 min feature. Ok show overall. Huge crowd. Babb looked bad all weekend til he changed motors on Saturday after heat race. He's got some work to do.

[3 wide]

I guess I see things different but it looked to me like Mars spun James out.

[gator 49]

Looks like James got on the gas to hard and lost traction. Bad deal cause James had a good car. Bobby was fighting a ill handling car. Great driving by Shep. always seems so smooth and in control.

[golddirt]

Mars
Didn’t touch him

[Zonks32x]

Just watched the video multiple times. Looked to me like James bumped B-Shep, backed out of it, jumped on it again and pitched it sideways into Pierce.

From what I saw in the video, James had plenty of room up top, and Pierce held his line down low. I see no fault on either Mars or Pierce in that deal.

[Mason87]

Looks to me it's James fault, watched multiple times and couldn't see one thing pierce did wrong.

[schlieperfan9]

I think the B1 Bomber has been in every WoO feature and has needed a provisional to get in every night. Boom also has needed a provsional every night but was not in line for any in GA/FL like Larson was because he did not ron the WoOs last year. I wonder how many of these provisionals are allowed by the WoOs?

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Pot and kettle is a two way street on this one, neither is a saint. But how James can lose his marbles on Bobby, I have no idea. He boned himself. He tried staying right on top of Bobby, which was dumb, I guess they got hooked for a second, James got sideways, and I am gathering Mars mighta finished him off.

Either way, that was all on Scott. And he looked like an idiot. You had a good car, and ruined it for yourself. I did like the little D Suave interview, “watch the f#*kin replay”.

[Cardirt0]

Will Like I have said all a long if bobby is wrong i will say it. But if he is not I will say it all so. Bobby can do some dumb thing hes Young But this time IT WAS NOT him that did it. On to next Race Boys.
I can think of at lease 20 times 83 has taken someone out that i have been there, and heard of a lot more when i was not there. He has NO room to say someone was driving bad he is the Poster Child for driving BAD.

[#FALSuperman]

Agreed, there's nothing that bothered me about Bobby's racing Sat night. Non-event....

[Illtsate32]

I though most people would take this as an opportunity to jump all over Bobby those who are not fans of his. Not the case you guys giving the objective viewpoints props to all of ya

[Barbecueboy]

That's because like always what everyone is saying is true about the subject matter......just like all the other times.

You are the one being objective this time boss.

[Cardirt0]

I though most people would take this as an opportunity to jump all over Bobby those who are not fans of his. Not the case you guys giving the objective viewpoints props to all of ya

You dont have to be a Fan to tell the truth WITCH i will do and when he Fs up or he DONT. You will hear from me if its not him, YOU will hear from me If it IS him. Have a good day sir.
