3 in a row for Pierce. He was on a different league tonight. Top 7 were Longhorn/Bilstein makes you wonder what he's doing different???

Not sure how he was able to do that last night with that boat anchor on his right rear……Impressive to say the least.

^^^^
FWIW
Larson started 22nd and finished 5th last night.
Is that getting his tail kicked?

By the way: who is your boy this year-Madden, TMac or you got a new one?

Top 7 were Longhorn/Bilstein makes you wonder what he's doing different???Everyone has big engines now but peirce is running some of the biggest I've heard of and it's by alot so if theirs any amount of brown or clean racetrack he's gonna be tough to beat

Vic Hill builds some good engines. I don’t think Bobby had but a couple of issues last year with them. Jimmy Owens seems to also be satisfied with Vic’s motors as well.

Bshepp...larson...marlar...dillard...babb...a bunch of nobodys

And all had bad starting positions (mostly because their cars sucked) except Shep and his car wouldn't stick. Don't make it more than it was . . . .

LARSON:

"Best driver in the world you say"

Yes he did, and yes he is! Second coming of A. J. Foyt and it's taken a long time to arrive there.

500+ c.i. for at least one he ran last season. Vic had a 480c.i. for a few years but he's eclipsed that mark. He has a first-class operation and a pretty slick dyno setup.

Are most top engine builders comparable about the same $$ wise as far as cost?

I thought you said there was no competition?....now it's because the competition has poor starting spots?? Please stick to one excuse

Not a loaded field but you beat Marlar and both Rumley advised entries, that's a pretty good group to judge your performance off of.
Bloomer wasn't there so, I don't know...🫢

VH has been building the 480 for a few years. Mainly used at Eldora and other top speed tracks. Pierce had a 500+c.i. last season. Can't remember the exact displacement but my mind thinks 517 ir 522 for some reason.

I don’t think Jimmy was happy with his motors the weekend at Eldora when he blew three of them a couple years ago

I was at Vics shop in 2014. He had a 480 engine in his personal car then.

If the other drivers thought he was beating them with cubic inches, there would be a line out the door at Vic Hills place. That's how this monkey see, monkey do sport works.

You can see a difference on the straights. Usually cars are about the same speed getting to a corner but Pierce is faster in a straight line than the rest of them.

But the question is , how big is Kyle Larsons Cornett engine ? It appears Kyle was just playing with the other racers before the big paying race. Someone, please get the details on that big ol Cornette Kyle Larson ran last night at Vado.

When it was built, it was the largest Dirt LM engine that Cornette had ever built, is that still the case? not sure. It's a couple years old now, if its still the same one Kevin had before.

I need to get out there one year.Kyle might have backed into the win but that young Bobby Pierce emerged from the event the Vado Championship again this year. A good way to start a season one might say . Lets see if he can keep the momentum going into Volusia.
