Farmer City behind schedule as usual...and on a weekday...

I do think the folks running the track do care about the racing but their time management just does not improve. They’ve been doing it long enough now that they should have a handle on getting started on time.

[Kankakeefan8]

Can believe shirley doesnt have a back up car or an engine...

[Kankakeefan8]

They are way behind not even that many cars there.....

[Dirt Clod]

I guess Farmer City has adapted the southern states race program strategy - Get behind and start late. Qualifying wraps up at 8:26pm on a Thursday night. Hang in there Shiny.

And now doing some track prep to top it all off.

[WisWildManFan]

I’ve learned I don’t go to FC unless I’m camping

[thexfactor0210]

Love the race track but refuse to go back until they fix their time management. Last 4 major races I went to havr ran extremely late. It is going to be nearly 9pm before heats begin.

[Kankakeefan8]

Ya not good people have to work tomorrow....guess thats why they dont get many people on a normal fri night...

[Dirt Clod]

I'm with you Xfactor. I used to drive over from Indy and never complained about the late ride home. Last 3 or 4 years it got worse and worse. I gave up and wonder how many other fans have, too. Rediculous to start this late on a Thursday.

[TerryM]

Shannon Babb has pet donkeys he trains like dogs? LOL, that’s the kind of info you want to get during a track prep delay.

So how was the track

[Shiny Side Up 18]

So how was the track

Looks like Brownstown.
Surprisingly, it didn't latch down.

[golddirt]

👌 good to hear.

[MUD MAESTRO]

Bobby didn't need daddy hovering over him tonight, did he?

[Dirt Clod]

Black, slick and shiny, that's for sure. Shiny, thanks for covering all the action. Have a safe trip home.

[CILDirt]

Good work Shiny. I can’t believe that track didn’t latch. Seemed to still be a little racy. I have never seen it that black before. Hopefully racing stays good tomorrow too.

[WildBill32]

Well a little birdie told me that the Tall Cool One... When building this car has found something... Hmmmm... Maybe, it's the Rumley device 2.0... The man behind the curtains. Lol...

[NeedforLMspeed]

I'm sure whatever it is it won't take long for him to break it

[WisWildManFan]

I wonder what fegers thoughts were on his contact with 32

[Raceready]

A CAKE WALK for the young Pierce lad ! !

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Well a little birdie told me that the Tall Cool One... When building this car has found something... Hmmmm... Maybe, it's the Rumley device 2.0... The man behind the curtains. Lol...

Well your little birdie is as big of an idiot as you are...

[Mud Packer]

Thanks for the updates Shiny. Much appreciated. I hope you're home by now.

[Highside Hustler25]

I wonder what fegers thoughts were on his contact with 32

They weren't warm and fuzzy.

[Jking24]

I wonder what fegers thoughts were on his contact with 32Probably somthing along the lines of i should've hit the brakes a little earlier, than i wouldn't have put myself in that position.

[james777777]

Pierce cars 1 and 2! Maybe they did find something big!

[smooth32]

Well your little birdie is as big of an idiot as you are...as are you. you show it everytime you open your mouth.

[smooth32]

Probably somthing along the lines of i should've hit the brakes a little earlier, than i wouldn't have put myself in that position.he wasnt gonna catch Pierce. He shoulda just let him go and tucked in behind him and collected second place money, make some changes and go for the win tonight. costly mistake.

[BloomerWon]

Same old bs with bobby. He intentionally spins two cars out of disrespect. Oh yeah Feger stuck his nose where he shouldn't have but bobby made sure he payed for it. It's all good tho, dirty bobby was just funnin round. What a clown...

[BloomerWon]

as are you. you show it everytime you open your mouth.

Yours as well... In fact, I haven't seen nearly the amount of idiotic comments on here as I've seen from you. You rank well above the others dude!! 😁

[smooth32]

[BloomerWon]

you have more idiotic comments than anyone. you are the king.

Oh my! Is this the old 'what you say bounces off me and sticks to you' play time?? Lmao, so typical of the bobby bunch 😉........
