What was the total chilly bowl tally this year? Another reason to like late models. They don’t roll very often.
Non-wing sprint cars and midgets, the “rawest” form of motorsports.
Who cares?
Well, you have a point.
As well as the post in is the wrong part of forum.
No. I think Late Model racing is better. Less flips = less cautions and more racing for the fans. I’m hearing the count was 57 flips for the week.Quote:

FLY, why don't you compare the Chili Bowl to the St. Louis Dome. How many late model flips, torn up sheet metal and cautions were in that building?
Come to Indiana for USAC midget week. Watch top 6 inverted fields, elbows up and most winners NOT from the front row. Look up the highlights of the 2023 BC 39 at the IMS dirt track for some intense racing. I see my share of late model races. There is a heck of a lot more elbows up in midget racing than win off the front row late model racing. Aero has not affected midget and non-wing sprint car racing yet.
I've seen a lot of late model wrecks where they take forever to get a car off the track. A lot of flips during the Chilli Bowl resulted in flipping it back over and they continue on. When they are to tore up, they just use the forks. Pretty efficient.
Never a truer statement made.Quote:

Like a lot of things (sprint cars and midgets used to be much better).
I don't know about that by watching young Bobby Pierce slicing 3 wide through lapped traffic last night in Vado was pure poetry in motion ! !Quote:

I’m afraid you’re judging something you know not very much about.
I'm sure it was. I haven't seen any of the late models races from Vado. I was watching the Chili Bowl all week.Quote:

Instead of a flip count maybe we should keep count of how many races we talk about and racers make mention of how the guy in front of me took the air off the front end.
