Mississippi thunder

[Dlmfan123]

Looks like a pretty cool joint. First I've seen of the place. https://twitter.com/dynamite_ruben/status/1390456522585554949?s=21

[NeedforLM$peed]

Sounds like a pretty fast track 100 mph averages during practice. Ryan Gustin has a $40k USMTS win there.

Isn’t that the race that he outdueled Bloomquist?

[Morgs153]

One of my favorite venues. This place is getting better too. I'm going both days.

[NeedforLM$peed]

I think so. Same weekend as the World and Scott was banned from it so he went there? I think booby when booby won

[Mod Runner]

The weather looks good for Friday and Saturday. Did they have practice today ?

Refer to post #2....

[Mod Runner]

Was this practice for WOO late models or just regular track practice ? If practice was for WOO also , who from WOO showed up ?

[GregA12]

Really cool setting, quality facilities they keep upgrading. Good racing too. Wish I coulda made the 5 hr trek down. I think that’s gonna be a heck of a show. From a National standpoint, I expect you’ll be seeing more out of that track in the future.

[kazual]

Awesome track and promoter. You Southern boys that write off Midwest tracks north of Interstate 70 have no idea.

[NeedforLM$peed]

There's a $5k bonus if someone can win both features

[TerryM]

Thank you, Flo Racing. Otherwise I’d never heard of this place. Awesome joint.

[TerryM]

Racing in the south sucks. Midwest racing is awesome. Who are these northerners you’re referring to? A real fan loves the thunder.

[Crossbones]

Awesome track and promoter. You Southern boys that write off Midwest tracks north of Interstate 70 have no idea.

I have never heard anyone "write off Midwest tracks north of Interstate 70" before, in real life or on this board. Midwest tracks are probably better anyway because red clay dirt usually makes for bad racing.

[Mod Runner]

I look for the race tonight will be hammer down with the high horsepower engines ruling.

[Mod Runner]

I have heard there are frost warnings in some areas of the upper Midwest. May be a good idea to wear a good heavy jacket or snowmobile suit. Do they serve hot chocolate or chili dogs at the track ? Nothing like a chili dog to help warm a person up.

Can't remember ever hearing anyone out of the south say anything negative about northern racing...

Oh it'll be cold, no doubt about that...

Yeah, I’m waiting for Kaz to reply to that claim. I’ve never heard anyone say that either.

Qualifying group 3 contains 5 of the top 8 in WoO points, plus the Lucas Oil point leader.

McCreadie
Sheppard
Madden
Weiss
Erb
Gustin

Also 3 drivers who have a ton of laps at the place (Timm, Sanders, Sorensen).

[TerryM]

Track looks spectacular.

[intel8]

Nice high banked track! Great crowd.

[TerryM]

Frank Heckanest has a lot of attitude for a guy who never wins any races.

[BloomerWon]

Frank Jr. has had a few wins here and there. Seen him win a S/Nat's race last summer at Springfield, Mo.

T-mac is scratched for tonight. Hes not feeling good

[TerryM]

T-mac is scratched for tonight. Hes not feeling good
He must be really sick to drive all the way there and not race.

[TerryM]

This joint reminds me of Tommy Helfrich’s place, with all the high dollar farming equipment used for track prep.

[TerryM]

Brent Larson takes the lead! Do you believe in miracles lol.

[intel8]

Finish, Sheppard, Larson, Mars, Dillard.

[TerryM]

BShepp wins. Larson 2nd.

[Mud]

Mars 12th to 3rd...

[zyoung25]

Did I hear them say tmac had kidney stones? I wouldn't wish that on any man. I can't see how that could get any better by tomorrow.

[BloomerWon]

Get well tmac!!

[Mud]

Anyone know the payout per position? Thanks in advance.

[Dlmfan123]

B main bomber looked pretty good out there. Good for him.

[Mod Runner]

Congrats to RocketShepp ! Sounds like the track was quite racy with a number of drivers advancing several positions. I was surprised by how many local racers and young racers showed up. I was really surprised to see McCreadie was there. I wonder if McCreadie went to the ER to get the stones flushed out. When I was in my early twenties I got a tiny little kidney stone , but it sure caused pain and abdominal muscle spasms . I did not get comfort until I went to ER and had the kidney stone flushed out by having a saline IV put into my arm. Hopefully McCreadie can be back for the big race tomorrow.

[Action10]

Sounds like the winner earned it...Just messing around... In all seriousness, sounded like a really good race.

[BloomerWon]

You're absolutely correct...

I'm surprised you see the difrance!! 👌

[Action10]

You're absolutely correct...I'm surprised you see the difrance!! I realized you were right all along about everything... I will start taking donations in order to buy every series and sanctioning body in all of DLM racing so you can run it. There would never be any unearned victory, upset drivers, upset fans, rain outs, delays, or one lane tracks ever again. The sport would prosper, car counts would grow, and it would overtake the NFL as the top spectator sport in the US. Then you can become Emperor of America. I sure am glad Pierce won a race that he somehow didn't earn so that I could finally see the light...

Its ok, we all make mistakes. Not all of us see the light. Glad I could enlightened you... 😁

Why.......the Biden clan never has!

[BloomerWon]

Why.......the Biden clan never has!

Another perfect example ☝ of not earning something, yep..
👍

[Mod Runner]

So, did they serve hot chocolate and chili dogs last night at the track ? Looks like tonight might be even cooler. Who do you all think will be the winner tonight ? What a run by Jimmy Mars last night.

[TerryM]

If it goes caution-free, Pierce wins. If no cautions, I’ll go with BShepp.

[Highside Hustler25]

Guess Pierce doesn't win then.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Why.......the Biden clan never has!Well if that ain’t the pot n kettle.

[BloomerWon]

Terry has his mind... lol

[BloomerWon]

What if b shepp spins bobby with no yellow does bobby still win?

[TerryM]

Haha, let me rephrase that lol. No cautions, BP wins. With yellows, BShepp wins.

[Highside Hustler25]

What if b shepp spins bobby

Wouldn't that be cool 👍

[BloomerWon]

Wouldn't that be cool 

Ths chears in the stands would be worth the price of admission. X3!! 😉

[Mod Runner]

With this cool weather , the engines should be making maximum horsepower and the track should retain moisture. Should be some good fast racing. Who looked fast last night , but did not get the finish he deserved ? Ryan Gustin ?

[GregA12]

Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Gustin get a win there if he can keep it together. Even though he’s never won at Outlaw race, I’d consider him one of the favorites tonight. His type of track and it shows in his history there in a Mod. Should be another great show. Those people know what they’re doing there. Hopefully TMac will be feeling well enough to run.

[BloomerWon]

Any word on TMac today?

[GrocMax]

Deer Creek and MTS are both on my bucket list.

[GregA12]

Deer Creek and MTS are both on my bucket list.

Can’t go wrong at either. MTS and Cedar Lake ownership have a great relationship and are working well with each other. It’s a shame Deer Creek can’t be part of that mix because that is 3 top tier/well run places within a couple hours of each other. Tough to do though because there are only so many prime nights to race.

[GregA12]

Any word on TMac today?

Looks like he’s in. He’s listed in a qualifying group anyway.

[BloomerWon]

Glad to hear... thanks! ☝

[intel8]

Great track tonight!

[TerryM]

Boom ruins another great race.

[TerryM]

Zzzzzmokey wins. Cautions ruined that one.

[intel8]

Finish, Madden, Gustin, Sheppard, Strickler, McCready, Awesome race!

[Mod Runner]

Gustin second, almost the winner. Why did Bobby Pierce not win ?

[chopter33]

Gustin second, almost the winner. Why did Bobby Pierce not win ?he wrecked hisself

[c1ty5tar]

he wrecked hisself

Let’s not place blame on Bobby. If the wall would have hit the brakes when he tried to put that slider on it, he may have finished.

[Mod Runner]

Thanks for the info on Bobby.

[dirtcrazy4u]

So does that mean the wall earned it ?

[BloomerWon]

So does that mean the wall earned it ?

Still letting that get to ya there buddy? Have another swig and relax if ya can... 😁

[dirtcrazy4u]

Get in the kitchen where you belong

[BloomerWon]

Get in the kitchen where you belong

Make me! 😆

[BloomerWon]

Booby earned every bit of that there wall! ... .. 👏😃

[TUTY]

Yes MTS, Deer Creek and Cedar Lake always put on a good show. Watched the recap of MTS from Friday and Saturday and wow the track was perfect. A week ago everyone said WOO sucks and everyone is dropping off the tour. 39 Super LateModels is a great car count considering there isn’t a lot of Super Late Models in the area. Great Show.

[3 wide]

That was a good race if Weiss don't spin strickler an pierce don't collect the wall it might have been real interesting at the end nice track.

[Highside Hustler25]

Gustin second, almost the winner. Why did Bobby Pierce not win ?

You'll have to check with TerryM on that one. I believe it had something to do with cautions ⚠️

[kazual]

My imagination or did Pierce act a bit more conservative racing with Gustin than I’ve seen him race at times in the past? Only saw video so not a first hand observation.

[Morgs153]

It was a great show on both nights but Saturday was tops. MTS is a really nice facility and they keep making it better. Next year's date is already locked and they say it will have a larger payout. If that's the case, I'd love to see a 75 or 80 lapper.

The nice thing about this track is they have equipment on hand to make things happen. A local implement dealer loaned three very large Fendt tractors to show off and use for track prep. During the farming session they kept a show going on the inner fifth mile with carts and mini sprint carts which was better than nothing. A lot of folks actually seemed to like that.

Every time I have gone to MTS I see something else they have improved on with the facility. They are sure going to need more room if this continues because there was a whole lot of campers at track and general spectators were finding parking to be a premium.

Hats off to Bob Timm and company for a great job providing this show.

[intel8]

The show at MTS was outstanding! Highly recommend this track, nice black dirt high banked oval. The late model feature on Sat. was action packed. Thanks to the speedway for a great weekend.
