"We should always run here.....no need to run south of the Mississippi". Hmmm, doesn't the Mississippi run north and south, so you can only run east or west? Also looking forward to running 47 laps! I could swear this race is called the Farmer City 74. I guess he was just nervous to be in front of the microphone....who knows?
Technically, he was right. You shouldn’t race south of the Mississippi. Lol
He says stuff like that just to get a rise out of people, it's called sarcasm. The river doesn't run straight north to south either
You are about as bright as Terbo! According to Wikipedea: From its traditional source of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, it flows generally south for 2,340 miles (3,770 km)[16] to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of MexicoQuote:

So you just going to ignore the guy above me that said he wasn't wrong too? The river literally goes north of the city of St Louis and wraps back around to the west. I'm not going to take a geography lesson from some dummy on a racing forum that can't read a compass.Quote:

not gonna get into the north/south east/west debate.
But they did swap the original 74 laps into 47 laps due to a LOT of factors.....even the 'official' results show it was 50 laps....I was there, it was 47 laps all evening!
