Cochran

[John Boy]

I'm headed to Cochran for the $21,000 to win. Anybody else going? I went two years ago and left before the late model feature. I really didn't feel like watching the sunrise. I guess I just don't learn my lessons. I know, might as well cut the check to Overton. Other than the eight who have already committed, who else is gonna show?

who is coming beside overton and bloomquist

[NeedforLM$peed]

Alot of the schedules i looked at say done for 2021.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Only 14 cars for $21k. Yikes.

[Tireguy17]

Some races that aren’t WoO, Lucas, XR or Flo are going to struggle in 2022. Between those 4 series a team can pretty much fill up their schedules and not run events like this. With the biggest season in the history of the sport on deck I’m not surprised this event only got 14 cars.

[CrankedUp90]

Exactly Tireguy17. With all the high paying races coming up next year and the good payouts, races like this and Milton last week are going to struggle to get cars..

[johnE]

Seems like this is an opportunity for teams with lesser accomplishments to travel a little more and get some experience and cash without concern over making the race. I expect the market will adjust and these races might draw fuller fields in the future. These races pay to start what some teams would earn for second place in a weekly show. Even llm or crates can fill these fields.

[John Boy]

This is really a one day show. $20.00 for Friday, and $30.00 for Saturday is ridiculous.

Dont go!

I agree with Tireguy17. Just because you are paying 21k does not mean anything anymore. This is the new normal. 20k will slowly become what 5k to win shows were just a couple years ago. Fans are going to end up paying the bills of these big shows. $80 to go to Eldora Million just to see another race at Eldora. No thanks I will just watch it on Flo. Soon $75 to $100 will become the normal spectator price as well. Money always ruins most good things in life.

[dirtcrazy4u]

When a ticket price gets up over 50 most casual fans pick and choose what race there going to. Eldora has diehard fans that will pay it for the dream and the world.

[Dirt Frog]

If i remember right tickets for the first milllion was $85 !!!!

[TS FAN]

Isn't it nice we can choose to go or watch it on Flo or next day Dirt on Dirt. We should be looking at it this way. Wasn't too many years ago you either went or only read about it.

Lets not get spoiled and enjoy your options

[NeedforLM$peed]

Usually Flo has it on their YouTube channel not long after the event. Some events you can watch qualifying and heat races live and then the feature is posted not long after it's over.

[ZERO25]

This race used to be for crates and drew 50 plus cars every year! Not enough supers in the deep south and bad timing as well!

Now that the owners son is in a super, makes me wonder!

[AllenK]

Crates are also racing for 7500 to win in Swainsboro IIRC.

[John Boy]

11 late models to start for $21,000.......pathetic!!! I knew I should have gone to 411. Lesson learned.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Isn't Pierce McCarter the kid of the owner of Cochran? He was at 411.

[zyoung25]

McCarters family runs 411 and bulls gap.

411 had a really good race.

Parker Martin is who you’re thinking about.

[NeedforLM$peed]

Oh my bad. That sounds right now.

There are cars in the South, Senoia had 65 a couple weeks ago. Many didn't go to Cochran a hour or so away, but will tow 20 HOURS away next week and probably make less money! Go figure!

[weatherman85]

A lot of drivers just flat out don’t care for or like the promoters. Heard more then a few express displeasure with the favoritism they showed their son in the big rescheduled race earlier this year.

[zyoung25]

^^ i remember this. He completely missed the show, and some how still started 6th or 8th, i know it was somewhere in the top 10.

[nuff said]

Where is Martin anyway ? Former crew chief is helping Jimmy Sharpe now

Overton is the modern day outlaw!!! $21,0000 checks cash the same at the bank whether 11 cars or 65 cars show up!

[zyoung25]

Wondered the same thing myself. They claimed he was injured, but have never said what his injury is. I cant see dream wanting to put up with their antics very long

[Dlmfan123]

I did say deep South.......such as south of Cochran. Theres not but a dozen or so!

Crate 604's and 602's have taken over and revitalized dlm racing here!

[ZERO25]

What about Bloomer?

He ran pretty decent and looked really good when he got out of the car. He looked pretty normal for the first time in a lonnnnggggg time! Good to see!

Finished 3rd out of how many cars? 11 may be. Being the goat he should have won!

[weatherman85]

Parker Martin did have shoulder surgery recently. IIRC they DQ’ed the bee man #111 Roberts who they felt spun Parker out on purpose causing him to miss the show. Gave Parker his spot back even though the checkered flag had already been waved.
