B-Mains have been shortened to 15 laps.

[klemmabyna]

Thanks again shiny. Missed you during summernats

[chathamracefan]

Kinda odd to shorten the b mains. 15 or so cars for 2 spots could use 20 laps. Especially for a big $ race.

[Highside Hustler25]

B mains got shortened cuz they went from originally having 2 consi's to 3.

[Buford.Justice]

Still too short for the guys in the back to have a snowballs chance.

[gorj]

DIRTVision does a phenomenal job covering this event. Great job to all involved in the production.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Modified hotlaps finally underway.

[DennisErbFan]

The DIRTVision feature of Steve Francis makes me respect this series a little more.

Something isn't right here.

Now they say RTJ slowed

He did very briefly, but kept going.

Wow

[Shiny Side Up 18]

RTJ told to line up 6th!

[gorj]

Yellow flag ? Thornton lost power temporarily- being placed in 6th WOW

[Shiny Side Up 18]

He slowed a little for a few seconds, and that somehow warranted a yellow per race control.

[gorj]

Holy smokes

[SLlDlNG SIDEWAYS]

still wish miles moosy had made it in tho, darn!

[Highside Hustler25]

What formula did WoO use to negate RTJ to 6th? Not sure what their interpretation of that rule is but only 1 car went by him.
WoO has to be the worst sanctioning body when it comes to rules. Unless you run their series, you're at a disadvantage before you roll into the pits.
I wonder if they remembered to sign the winners check. What a crock.

Yup , there’s a vid on Blaze Burwell’s FB page showing that only Pierce was by him at the line and watching at actual speed, I question the need for a caution at all. I knew something fishy was up when the announcers killed their mic’s and there was never a replay shown. The cool part was watching RTJ absolutely hammer that car and get the win.
I guess the 2nd place guy now has a built in excuse when he gets beat… points racing.

[Buford.Justice]

Absolutely no yellow was called for, they had to have put a bug in the flagmans ear on this one.. Ulterior motives?

[reid boys]

Terrible weekend by WOO officials. Anybody else noticed the stalled car in between the tires and wall in hot laps? Let the group run 4 laps with him stopped there.
