Forgive me for an asphalt note: I went to Hickory for the CARS tour race last night. Late model stock car (my version of crate late models) paid $6000 to win and drew 32 cars. Super late models paid $5000 to win, and drew 12 cars. for me, I guess I just have to realize I live in NC, where late model stocks rule asphalt, but I really thought 5 grand should have brought out more than 12 cars.
And for the tire note, CARS tours has delayed their next race due to tire shortage, so it is affecting lots of racing.
They want every race to be won on the cushion, it’s pretty obvious. Rice probably can’t sleep counting down the days til the North SouthQuote:

Its tough to do but Florence really needs to balance it out a little, it wont take much to throw some water on the bottom and open up the track a little, or knock down the cushion and see who really has some skills to roll the middle.
And the person mentioned above is one of the ones who throws them sliders.Quote:

I am part owner in a Team, race there quite abit.
Dont want to seem overly critical of the track either, reading my post it would seem that way, but i would like to see some better action on the track. Its just so one dimensional. Overall Florence is a great track to call home, a lot to praise there.
I know a guy that bought a $57.000 engine a $45.000 car a truck and trailer for $110.000 has ran 6 races and took in $2750,So it cost him $35000 a race ,he will make a small fortune if he starts with a big one
Saturday was the last points race for late models. 9 cars. Wide open around the top has ruined racing for late models.
And probably the last race at Florence for the late models on a regular basis!Quote:

I think it's gonna eventually be only touring series no local Latemodels what do ya'll think
I think only 5% of the people on the planet know the difference between "lose" and "loose"Quote:

so, if the late model guys have a problem with the track did they say something to josh, and did he have and answer? i didn't go back and look, but i'll guess they had 4-5 weeks when there were no late model, but they added 4-5 races that paid 3, 5, or 10k. florence isn't alone in car counts. someone told me the that atomic only had 12 cars and it looks like portsmouth only had 10 for regular shows last week saturday. i think that late models have been and are just dying a slow suicide. crates and mods are putting on a better show every week and that is where the late model drivers seem to be going.
