It's not going to be one of the National Tours sanctioned events. It's being promoted and broadcast by XR, the same company that Las Vegas uses for hosting the IMCA Duel in the Desert, but with that distribution that rules out LOLMDS and WoO.
Scheduled on top of the icebreaker and buckeye 50. That's the only problem I have with it.
I can't see them pushing IMCA rules here, considering there isn't an imca car or track within 10+ hours from there.
It's not going to be IMCA, they couldn't really get the sanction anyway, with Zero IMCA tracks in the state. XR the promoters hired by SMI for LVMS are the ones doing Bristol as well. The closest IMCA cars for reference would be Mods in NW AR, closest Late Models in the Quad Citys at Davenport & East Moline.
Still saying they will get a national tour after cup weekend. Time will tell
Why would they even try something like this? You gotta bring the woo or lucas in.
I believe WOO is off that weekend, Lucas is not. I usually go to the Buckeye and will probably do so this year.
I’m going to sign up for the competition to be “Ms Bristol Dirt Nationals Girl”😜
Flyboy
Wont that b a conflict w/ the bearded lady at the fair?🤭🤭
Maybe just maybe, nascrap concerns are the place mite have more fans for the slm or sprint car portion of the show. Did I see they are having the mod guys there ? Hummm, we can't do a class that shows how slow the million dollar cars will be.
Does anyone remember the Bristol late model race years ago? There were lots of cars and an all-night show. It has been a long time but I seem to remember wheels and front end parts were breaking by the minute. Is there something to prevent that from happening now?
I was in the pits for the short track nationals in Bristol a few years back. I saw a lot of safety wire being used.
There were less issues because Hav-a-Tampa forced all the teams to buy steel wheels for the event. And quite a few still broke the centers out of them. With the suspension travel of late models today, they may break more than just wheels this time. But it’ll be a spectacle!!!
