Merritt is having a $10,000 to win American Ethanol Late Model Tour race tonight. Should be a good turnout if the weather cooperates. Expect around 35-40 cars. Don't know how many out of state guys will make the trip up with the hell tour also starting. Look for Spangler to win it.
My money is on Schlenk or Marcoullier. I love this Ethanol series, it puts the ALMS to shame and hopefully runs them out someday. The ALMS is a joke paying out $2000 to win.
I think the Coleman Comet or Rich Bell will take it.
Absolutely. It is refreshing to see a series in that area that doesn't bow down to Oakshade and Eldora. A 14-15 race schedule is perfect, and I am glad to see it growing into Indiana and Ohio. I could see this becoming very similar to the BOSS sprint series.Quote:

Looks like 36 cars and Curtis Roberts has fast time. No big names there. Schlenk is there.
Anyone know what's up with Kris Patterson Jr.? Are they still racing or no? Thought I saw them in the results once for Tri City a month ago or so. He has had some good runs. And then some bad ones.
I hate the guy but it's "the one track wonder's" home turf! I hope anyone but Spangler!!
Dona Marcouiller, Eric Spangler, Rich Neiser and Bill Bray were heat race winners.
Rusty Schlenk isn't in the CJ1 he's in the #91 Rayburn.
Any updates? Race monitor has stopped working. (Imagine that)
Wouldn't doubt it. That place is out in the sticks on a main Rd.
Last update I got was it is raining.
Looking at the radar you might be right lol
They rained out...rain date is today. Lets Go Thirlby!!!
I don't think he has left Tri city for a couple years now and I don't think he has won there in 3 or 4. He's just not his ol manQuote:

Racing starts @ 8. 50 laps for $10k. They are also running $1500 to win 4 cylinders which I'm sure a few could run with the LM. lol
Spangler
Marcouiller
Thirlby
Vanderveen
Schlenk
The one track wonder strikes again! What an a#$@hole
Doesn't win anywhere else but there.
I'm assuming the track took rubber as times got faster late in the race.
Spangler cant make the show at most other tracks. Cant stand that guy.
I saw him at Eldora a couple of years ago and he couldn't get out of his own way.
He wins at mount pleasant too.
