    yeah marlar fell back a little bit because you couldnt pass. he said fak it, because why would you waste your good equipment on a little 3k race with no where to go when you have speedweeks coming up.

    i also did not see any passing. but who wants to watch the back of the pack? i was just hoping ronnie couldve passed using a lapped car as a pick or something. hats off to weaver.

    hell all in all i would agree with dee81, the track was terrrible. but once again its a day race at boyds and they practiced the night before, so it was expected.

    Not real sure what race you were watching but I thought that was a good race. The b hobby race saw side by side racing by the first two cars for most of the race, only to be broken up with 3 to go by lapped traffic. as far as the SLM race, RJ just got out motored by Weaver. What I liked about the track was it put the race in the drivers hands.It took a little patience and alot of car control instead of just stab and steer.Conditions are not always perfect,but Saturday's track was for experienced drivers.A few in the top 5 started toward the back.I was happy to see a race period.The day race brought back memories of those fall NDRA races back in the 80's. God job Gar and company.

    Sorry to disagree but Johnson didn't get out motored. Johnson had a 376ci all aluminum CT525 with a 12 inch spoiler.Weaver had a steel block 23* SAS Spec that he never got over half throttle.The difference on a black ice track was setup and driving.

    RJ caught weaver in traffic , but Weaver pulled away on open track.Dirt racing is adapting to the track conditions. Good or bad the track is the same for everybody.When the track changes you have to change your race car.I saw Larry Moore at Dixie back in the 80's at a daytime NDRA race put on slick Hoosier tires and blister(pardon the pun) their ass.The winner never complains about track prep.
