Cherokee Speedway Car Count

[racingdirt00]

I have got a question how many Supers does cherokee have and also how is the track conditions.

[105mph]

18 cars in the pits...13 crates...
Track was tacky to start...drying out now..hard to believe after 3 inches of rain...
Disappointing car count to say the least...

That # is hard to believe. Paying at least $500 to start might draw a few field fillers to Sunday's race.

Not a big shock. Lennie is awesome at screwing up a good thing.

Stout field of cars (I'll post line-up soon). Not a full field, but Lucas and Clash guys sat out.......weather didn't help but give the big man credit, Lennie always tried to get the show in.

Racing was good, 2 grooves, sometimes 3 if you were there (third heat between Roberts, Rambo & Dixon).

Heat races were good, Bradsher biggest heat win ever holding off Steve Francis and Davenport (who got into the wall in qualifying), Jared Landers (who also hit wall in qualifying) used the high side with 2 to go to pass Cherokee dominate Chris Madden for the win followed by a smooth Ty Dillon in heat #2. Casey Roberts passed Rambo at 1/2 way for the win in heat 3 with Brent Dixon (3rd car to hit wall in qualifying) in a close third.

Any car in the top 10 CAN WIN this race......and YES BLACK SUNSHINE is predicted for tomorrows forecast -details and write up to follow!!

car count

why would they let anybody run that did not quail-fie for the race .........

[105mph]

Yeah...I totally agree with that statement...had 15 guys come with travel and race expenses...run tires off in 5 car heat races...(embarrassing to try to make them sound good to say the least) burn fuel & all the work of qualifing & heats & now cars will be allowed to start in the rear and get a paycheck if they only run 1 lap...that's showing no respect for the ones that came to support you in the 1st place...and now they scratch their heads & wonder where the cars are...imo

Traditionally Cherokee has always let cars that wanted to tag the tail of the consi races on a 2 day show that chance. This is nothing new just happens to be a smaller field than usual.

[nuff said]

They should have to run for a reduced purse in this case.I would be p!ssed if I was one of the 18 that was there for the first day.

[huskerdirt]

As far as the cars coming in on the last day and starting in the back. The track should charge them double the pit passes and make them pay full entry fee, if not more.

I know some tracks around my neck of the woods have done that on specials that had less than full field. I dont blame them one bit.

[nuff said]

Or,run 1/2 the show,run for 1/2 the purse.

[Dirtman]

come on - you would also have pissed if the purse was cut too. The man said he was going to run a 2 day $15,000 show and stuck to his guns, despite bad weather and another track scheduling against him.

I am also pretty sure it was discussed today at the drivers meeting that cars could tag consi tomorrow. If the drivers there didn't have a problem with it or knew before the race started, then what does it matter? They will have to pay fee and pit pass like everyone else -

[105mph]

Why do they keep talking about tagging to the consi's...surely to goodness their not running consi's tomorrow with only 15 cars running the heats...tell us that's not what their planning...???
