Of course. No other type of event exists in phenix City.
Super late models with restrictor plates. Dumbest thing I’ve heard in awhile. Give em the Dumbest ran track award again.
Unhook the 4 barrel and a 1 inch restrictor plate??? We do unhook the back barrels on super slick tracks sometime but there is no way i'm putting a 1 inch restrictor plate on a $40,000 engine just because "they" tested it. Just when I think EAMS couldn't possibly come up with anything stupider, they prove me wrong again. They really are just beyond help. I hope they enjoy the failure this deal is sure to be.
What??? Seriously? For what possible purpose??
Why not just bolt a 2 barrel on ? Stupid, they know there not going to get many supers this time of year so they want what ? Steel blocks, crates, or some other engine to be able to run with the guys with the big motor. Get real. Dumbest thing I ever heard.
I figured they'd do that and see very little car count and then cut the pay.
If there was no restrictions at EAMS, how many cars would they get compared to Lavonia Xtreme race?
Oh, an EAMS thread!
Dump. Plain and simple
Positive. Stay home.
At what point did things go south for this track.i believe they have had same ownership for years.
Now it's back to 10k for only supers. Plus! They've added monster trucks, freestyle motocross, fireworks, and a rock band. As if the days couldn't get any longer.
When Beverly (Billy Thomas’s sister) left in 2015 the track took a turn for the worst. She was tired of Billy’s BS and had enough. Anything Billy touches turns to dirt (no pun intended). This weekend hardly nobody will be there, hence the reason for monster trucks, motorcycles, fireworks and a band. His daughter, Megan, had no clue how to run the track either. They are at a dead end because they have pissed enough people off and the lack of race cars and fans proves it. This track could be one of the best in the southeast. But, as long as Billy Thomas is involved it will continue to die a slow death. RIP EAMS!
Yea I've watched on TV. That last fiasco was enough for me to just turn it off. You know I say that but memory tells me I kept flipping back over to see if the TOE truck driver ever got the car off the track. That was hilarious.
dirtfaced , the track had took a bad turn way before she left , matter of fact , old man thomas was no saint , if you talk to some of the ole timers that are still alive , you will hear of some screwed up things they did back in the 70,s ,
Was gonna say the same. Everyone wants her back, but most just weren't around to remember that it was no better back then. We got screwed by them back then worse than now. Nowadays the track is just ran terribly. Back then they'd run the shows well, but stick it a mile up your rearend on the way out. I live close enough to see the lights on the poles and won't be taking my car off jackstands for them any time soon.
EAMS used to be a place I looked forward to going to for the National 💯 weekend. Had reserved seats for years. Then it just went off a cliff or something. As mentioned RIP National 💯 and EAMS.
The bobby Thomas national 100 win. Home cooking at its finest. When bloomer passed him for the lead, caution flew for no reason. Thomas got lead back. And I’m no bloomer fan. The place is a joke. Always been.
Any video ppv for this weekend?
Will car count for supers make it to 20
No more than 50 total cars (among 11 divisions) so far.
$40 for grandstands sat and $40 sun.
RIP EAMS
Just yesterday I stopped off at one Alabama's best DLM's shop and he said he would never ever go back there unless someone new owned it. Quite the indictment. His words not mine.
Late Model Mark
Looks like only 1 SLM took a practice run .
Too be fair, they don't have to be there yet. This weekend could end the Thomas' reign at Eams!
I read they started late or even have yet to start and guys were loading up and leaving. I've read also it might've been cancelled.
WOW is that place a joke
3 SLM qualified with 10,000 advertised says it all
I'm seeing there's only 2 cars.
The folks that run that joint should tape what the people are seeing. If they can't see they have multiple issues then that's a hopeless situation.
Last I heard was SLM was paying $800 to win now and only paying top two spots. RIP EAMS
Baaahahahahaa!!!!!!!!
Open motor LM and 602 and 604 were cancelled. The rest is going to be run Sunday due to rain
