[chathamracefan]

On dirt on dirt and flo racing free to subscribers. 25 car invitational format. Flo just posted it on twitter.

[BirkyTime15B]

Can’t wait!!!

[NeedforLMspeed]

Great. I was reading that the Clay County sheriff and deputies with be on site to make sure people are following guidelines. That's good tax dollars at use instead of being out on patrol

Thanks for the heads up!!

[TheJet-09]

^^^ Most likely extra duty for guys/gals (the Deputies) that wouldn't have been on shift at that time anyway. I doubt there's a department out there that would take personnel off the street to man an event that was planned ahead of time.

Good luck to all involved with the show!

[WisWildManFan]

I haven’t see a car pulled over by me in over a month.

[B_K]

I’m sure Clay County, NC will be able to keep from breaking out into anarchy on a Thursday night with 1/2 the population still sheltered in place even if an on duty patrolman has to go keep people from huddling up in the stands.

I’m not sure what you have to do to get pulled over these days anyway. From my experience on Friday 88mph on I-75 wasn’t even enough to warrant lights getting flashed at me. I never hit the brakes either. Was beside him before I saw him.

[Pennsboro32]

Do we know who the 25 drivers invited are?Terbo, Overton, Hudson, McIntosh, Clanton, Roberts, Hardy to name a few.

[HIGH ROLLER]

The state is still in stay home mode til may 8th so idk how this is going to happen.🤔🤔

Looks like some other tracks in nc have been having practices so good luck to all at tri city for a whopping $4k

[Dirtking2512]

Man I wish they could have some fans in the stands since Tri-County is only 10 minutes from the house but I'll take what I can get at this point

[Kryptonite17]

Does anyone have a full drivers list for this yet?

[rdcllk]

How do they get there list for invites?
I think it great that they are trying. On the other hand. If you have your weekly racers sit and home. Cuz there not invited. It could be a problem when tracks resume to racing

[Jking24]

I don't think tri County has supers on a regular basis and from the sounds of it the invites are comprised of alot of people who support rays races on a regular basis

[Dirtking2512]

I don't think tri County has supers on a regular basis and from the sounds of it the invites are comprised of alot of people who support rays races on a regular basisTri-County does run supers every other week when they race. Ray has invited some of the local drives as well. From the way it looks it's about half national to regional and half locals

[In The Gas]

What time does the race coverage start?

[wfofan]

Any pics of the check to BShepp

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Any pics of the check to BShepp

He's not even on the list.

[NeedforLMspeed]

I don't see Mark taking Rocket1 there for $4k regardless of how long it's been since last time racing.

[keith94elliott]

Hudson is loaded up to head that way

[wfofan]

He's not even on the list.

I was told he was maybe the guy was thinking of Overton...makes the field feel better I'm sure...

[dirty bert]

Both of them is on the list

[mskdorf]

Anyone know if that storm that went through will cause any issues for tonight?

[nc mudcat]

Hudson O'Neal fastest in practice

[TerryM]

They ain’t in no hurry.

[B_K]

^^^^^

It’s officially race season. The whining has commenced.

[NeedforLMspeed]

Are they supposed to be in a hurry?

[TerryM]

Are they supposed to be in a hurry?
On a Thursday night, when I have to get up at 4:00am ... yes lol.

[nc mudcat]

Kyle Hardy fast qualifier

[dch191]

if any of the top 4 finishers from the dash go to the tail of the feature and win then they'll bring home $25k!!!

[nc mudcat]

Bonus offered. Drivers scheduled to start in top 4 can start in rear, if they win, it is for $25,000.

[nc mudcat]

Sorry dch, you beat me to it.

[In The Gas]

Great racing surface but the facilities look like North Vernon. Perfect for PPV though.

[mskdorf]

Thanks for the answer. Bunch of prickly figures!

[mskdorf]

Agreed In The Gas

[NeedforLMspeed]

I know right. I saw a picture on Twitter of the bleachers blocked off with yellow tape and I was like maybe it's a good thing no one is sitting there...

[champion24]

Why would they invite 25 guys & not let them all race?

[Dlmfan123]

I think everybody is a Michael Chilton fan right now. Clanton mcintosh and Cody king chose to not start at the tail.

[nc mudcat]

Needed a few in case some broke, i guess. Only 1 driver took the challenge to start in the rear.

Video just spinning, anyone else having the same problem

[B_K]

Hav-A-Tampa Shootout was an invitational but they didn’t start all 100 that showed up. You’re invited to compete not guaranteed to race.

[champion24]

Who are the guys in the stands?

[nc mudcat]

Clanton wins, Macintosh second. Pretty good race. Worth my subscription price for sure.

[Dlmfan123]

Who are the guys in the stands?Probably crew members

[fryefan]

It was a decent race. Did not need the caution when the top 5 were all close.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I know right. I saw a picture on Twitter of the bleachers blocked off with yellow tape and I was like maybe it's a good thing no one is sitting there...

I was there a few years ago. I don't remember it being that bad. Y'all sound like Turner wanting big races to be invitationals so it can be chosen who shows up. Elitist...

[Highside Hustler25]

Video just spinning, anyone else having the same problem

I received the dreaded spinning circle as well. Happened while they were cleaning up the Oneal/Hardy wreck. Figured the video crew was doubling as track workers and wrecker driver. Do they have to get the Governor's permission to fire up the tow truck?
Kudos to Michael Chilton for attempting the bonus challenge. Not so much for the 15 year touring champion puss that spanked the regional guys.

[nc mudcat]

There was no spinning at my house, I thankfully had no issues with the feed at all. My hat is off to the film crew, the announcers, the track operators, and all involved. 2-1/2 hour program for practice, qualifying, heats and feature for one class. Good all around. Can't wait for tonight's Lancaster race.

[WisWildManFan]

If they keep adding money to the put I think they should also had a few more laps so those guys actually have a chance at winning from the back

[NeedforLMspeed]

Yes Chilton was the only one to attempt it but realistically did anyone think he could do it? 19 cars in 40 laps? Not on that track.

[HIGH ROLLER]

Not really but he did finish 9th I believe

[hoosier race fan]

Agree on both accounts. McIntosh had the lead but the timing of the O’Neal/Hardy caution put Clanton back in the lead. McIntosh needed about 8-10 laps under green to get a run on Clanton and just didn’t have that at the end.

[dirt33]

Decent race. Cool looking race track. Very thankful to watch a DLM race (for free even!). Big thanks to everyone involved.

It wasn’t a film “crew”. It was one guy — Mitchell Jenkins — from one angle. At no time during the show did my wife or I even notice it was being shown this way, so hats off to you, Mitchell. That was impressive!

[Pennsboro32]

If your video player was spinning and it’s not doing the same thing for everyone. It’s 99 percent your internet connection.

[TerryM]

There was pretty much zero passing in the dash or consys, so I can understand the front row drivers making the choice they made. But I’m still proud of the only Kentucky pilot in the field. He has balls. He isn’t used to that no passing, no heats, single file restart crap ... but he showed up and made us proud.

I still think McIntosh got screwed. He had the best car in the feature.

[B_K]

There were no other divisions running. Of course it took a minute to wear out the top/run in the a second groove.

Clanton had the best short run car and he got lucky on the caution. Hudson might have had the best car overall. Wish they could have stayed green. It was about to get good.

Clanton also made the right choice. You don’t fix wrecked race cars or pay the bills with balls. You pay those things with money. He made the right financial choice as nobody was passing 19 cars in 40 laps. With a good field and as aero dominant as these things are now, those days are exceedingly rare.

Overton 15th to 5th was a nice rally.

Those bleachers aren’t really that bad. It’s not Charlotte or anything, but I’ve been to worse.

Kudos to the all involved. Enjoyed the show.

Exactly...

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

The fact it was better to race for $4k than $25k is what is wrong with the cars today.

[ZERO25]

Hav-A-Tampa Shootout was an invitational but they didn’t start all 100 that showed up. You’re invited to compete not guaranteed to race.


It was more than an invitational. You had to finish in the Top 5 of a havatampa race to get invited!

[ZERO25]

My only question is...….what was Hudson thinking?

But still good to see the MBilt run good!

[nc mudcat]

He said Clanton chopped him off, he got sideways and got finished off by someone else (David Payne). Hardy was the victim of it all.

[B_K]

It was top five (or six) of the NOT already eligible drivers for the H-A-T Shootout.

Was just using that as an example of how even though it’s an invitational you’re not guaranteed anything when you get there.

[B_K]

The fact it was better to race for $4k than $25k is what is wrong with the cars today.

Agree with that completely. Too much importance on technology and equipment and less on what’s in the seat.
