Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Results from North Georgia Speedway (July 19, 2012)

The call on the restart was the right call. If you watch the replay (video) madden passed thomas before they got to the flag stand. Drivers were told no passing until after the flagstand. If madden thought he was screwed he still had what 15-18 laps to get back by and he stayed at least 3-4 cars back. Also to cry about getting beat by a spec engine is a terrible excuse!

[QUOTE=JJinGA;1560669]Cant believe they Madden lead for 10 or so laps and then put him back two spots at the next caution. Seen races at in 6 different states in the last 35 years and seen a lot of folks jump and get put back a row, but never 10 laps after they done it. Oh well...first time for everything.[/QUOTE/]


First time for me too. Although they did tell him on the raceiver to give the spot back or you're going back two spots next caution.

I don't think anyone is arguing against spec motors in general. Costs have gotten out of hand, but the weight break plus the wing is a bit much. Supers should all be 8" spoilers......jmo.

UMP does the same thing. I have actually seen a guy finish the race and then be scored 2 spots back from where he actually crossed the stripe.

Hey Billy! How was the crowd last nite? Hope it was good! Like to see NGA get back up on its feet. To good a track to sit idle!

Not bad. It could have been better, but considering all the turnover and inactivity plus being mid-week, it was pretty good.

[hustler t4]

why did they not have a race at Tri County for this series?

[stevo]

Madden said he had the best late model there like a spec is not a late.but i think when they wave the green,start racing if the second car gets a better start,then just lift and he will have to go back next caution!

Madden

And the jump. Transponder did not lie 44 was the 1st to cross thats a no no. But I am like every body why wate till 8 laps to throw the yellow. But they did try and get him to move back he refused. RJ showed the rest that the bottom was not the only place you had to race. 12 laps ever body on the bottom RJ moves up and after 2 pick offs the every body changed there line. Had it been a 53 lap race Madden would really been hating a spiolier. Only thing I can say is if you dont like racing spoiler guys run the big dogs series there the only 1s that do not give them. This is why none of the big teams run srrs.

Madden will get no sympathy from me.He knew what the rules were before he signed in.If he doesn't like getting beat by a smaller cheaper moter then he has several options:
1-he can go somewhere else and race
2-he can buy his own spec
3-he can cry about getting beat by one
For any of you that agree that smaller cheaper engines shouldn't get a bigger spoiler then you don't want the little guy to ever be competetive.

Well said Terry!

[ga racer]

vic and chris made it sound as if they are not allowed to run a 12 inch spoiler, got news for you everybody is allowed one if you have a spec or steel engine. maybe they should invest in a couple so they can be competitive on slick tracks. what a bunch of crybabies. if the track would have been azz deep in mud and william would have ran 3rd do you think he would have got out and cried because they out motored him? NOT

Pretty decent crowd. The track has terrible stands, and a couple with folding chairs can block an entire row. Pretty good track prep - dusty near the end of the LM feature.

On the wish list: new stands, new sound system, new lights.
