East Alabama Motor Speedway - National 100 Weekend Information

[silver99]

LOL...dont drink next time dgaagent!!!!

Dgaagent....was you even at racetrack anytime sunday until the late models ran?

The Pony cars havent raced on sunday in over 3 years....The cruiser, pony and modifieds all run heats on friday, and mains on saturday.....Please be aware of what your talking about next time.

It actually ran quick this time....yea one class had trouble with making laps...4 main event ran to completion from 12:14 pm to 4:30 pm. And two of those were 50 lappers...

It was completely advertised that the late model race would be later in day. The show is always ran that way to give track prep time for the late models...do i like it anymore than you do...no i dont...i hate the track prep time as well...so what did i do? When the sportsman class finished....i got up and left....why? cause i didnt want to wait, thats my reason...but i wont gripe, i knew that when i went.

Why track prep anyway? I guess so that its not a one groove race track and wanting to put on a show for the fans...ok i get that...and understand that....

Im just glad we all got a place to go watch a race, and that the place isnt thinking of closing!!! Dont do anything to give them a reason to not wanna stay open....Keep supporting it or go play golf, or whatever else you like to do.

LETS KEEP RACING!!!

The CT525 was definitley not enough engine for sunday night. It's a great engine for daytime racing and really slick tracks. RJ won his consi earlier in the day when the race was run in the heat of the day and it was really dry slick. He almost got lapped early in the race.

Yeah, it did rain. Just enough to wet it and needed packing. The racing is always great and super fast. 100 lapper is great. It's how they drag the program out into the night that's a bummer. They could have started it at 6:30 when it got dark instead of 8:00. Sell a few more hot dogs and hamburgers. It may have taken two hours to get the track ready for the big race. They need to re arrange the program to allow for the two hours instead of horsing around with lower classes on Sunday afternoon. Drop the pony cars and junk classes on Sunday. The Super Street class couldn't run a green flag lap without bringing out a caution.

I've been to Eldora. They know how to run a program. No bullcrap.

Supers didn't do much better than the Super Streets! Should put a time limit on them too!
I thought the whole 4 day show ran as scheduled other than the supers starting later because of track prep/driver introductions.
Drop the "support" classes and you won't be seeing a National 100 in a few years.
Hate to hear you won't be coming back next year!

Nah, the track conditions didn't suit it that day, plain and simple. You can't win'em all.

Did anybody get any pictures from this race?

Did it Matter

Did it matter what kind of engine anyone had? I do not think anybody had anything for Steve Francis, he was clearly the class of the field. I was pulling for the "Nightmare" , but in my opinion, the Kentucky Colonel was in a class by himself Sunday night.

[Pre_5]

Been going for 14 years and plan on going back for many years to come.Thought the weekend was ran great except having to sit and listen to the gawd awful band. Please if we must sit and listen get someone who can sing. If not, would rather sit and listen to the water truck and packer cars make laps.

Hey,thanks for the results Raptor. If you've been to enough races you should know things happen that drags it out that ain't necessarily the track's fault. I always prepare myself for anything so I won't be surprised when it happens. If I'm pushed for time like work or something I have planned I dang sure don't assume when a race is gonna finish up when making a decision. Anyway, I always pick and chose my travel races according to the quality of racing. I live a mile away from GVS and I go to the big races and eat dinner there as well as snacks,souvenirs or any way I can spend money to support the effort to put my 2 cents in for the cause. I guess what I'm asking, is this a track I should visit in the future because I've heard both good and bad.I've been to Atomic,Tazwell,The Gap,Bristol,N.Ga,Seven Flags,TST, Brunswick,Florence(this year) Rome,and Dixie which wasn't that good to me.Do you guys think I should add Phenix to the list? TIA

I know things happen, but when I go to EAMS for the National I know how its gonna be, I expect and look forward to three days of racing from breakfast to bedtime, I love EAMS. It's hard to say what someone else will like, the national 100 is a tradition for me going back to 1986, I've seen good and not so good. I grew up going to Seven Flags, Rome & Dixie, Rome is my favorite of the three, but I've seen good and bad at Dixie too. EAMS isn't typically a door 2 door multi-groove affair, the groove is up high and there are no walls except along the front stretch and around the pits. The main event usually has a lot of tires blow and people going over the bank, which shuffles the lineup. Now if Randle Chupp is running, then your in for a treat, he literally has his own line around the track and its pretty awesome.

[Late_Model_Mark]

I had such a good time at EAMS. I take the time during the track prep break to grill some grub out in the parking lot with all the cronies, very fun bench racing with 'em.

Had a blast calling the race with ole Eschelmen, very fun. Got a number of calls saying I did a good job, thanks to all who called.

Just figures the Dirt Crow would tap out, mack, what is your deal these days? Have you no cashews anymore? It was a fun time down there, will be back next year and the next, I'll be takin' a dirt nap before I miss this show.

I can remember back in the late seventies when the whole show was over by 6 or 6:30.
