[ALLDIRT]

Anyone have video of florence modified race . 10-13-12. Could please post.
What a good race . A full field of the best race cars and drivers anywhere.
Also my hats off to florence speedway and staff for putting on a race
of this magnitude . Good job.

[ppeewee441]

I agree great race 15 minutes to run 40 laps and went green to checker, not counting the mishap on the start. It was a joint effort with AMS and Florence Speedway and the whole staff did a great job including the UMP officals.
Thank you to all the racers for joining AMS for Championship Night!

[usw1]

Curious how the outside pole car caused the wreck on the first lap and pulled into the infield and still got his spot back?

[ALLDIRT]

Just maybe they might say there was not a lap in . But there rules are if u stop or
bring out the caution u go to the tail. A lot of teams were not happy or the fans.

[mudeater18]

What happened on the first lap ?

[pepaw]

the rule states if more than 1 car is involed in the yellow on the the start of a race before one lap is in all cars return to there spots ,,,after 1 lap is compeleted only the cars that stop are sent to the tail ......the rules or on the website ......american modified series . com

[HEAVY DUTY]
