The lore of The World 100

[old fan]

So race that's been around longer even though it's scrap trump a race that has character a track rember that doesn't t have fairgrounds supporting 3500 lb tank lumbering around a mile track wait wait there is more people in the stands right than what ole sarge would ever dream of

[old fan]

262 is the highest I saw bad time trail you go home home empty only 120 plus subs could race sat unlike Knoxville or chili bowl that why it's a track that legends are made of

Huh?

Not positive, but I think 262 is just a bit high but we'll go with that anyway. That means The Chili Bowl draws over 80 more cars (344) than the World did at it's peak. Drivers are not only instant legends but get a chance at a NASCAR ride when they win The Chili Bowl. Just ask Billy Boat, Donnie Beechler, Tim McCreadie and Rico Abreu. Actually Boat and Beechler got Indy Car rides as a result of winning The Chili Bowl.

I see it the same way, Gary. I've been to both on numerous occasions. In fact, 23 World's dating back to the mid 1980's and The Chili Bowl 5 times dating back to the mid 1990's. They both contain nuances that make winning and just getting into the final a feat unto itself. Running good and/or winning The Chili Bowl seems to afford drivers more exposure than the World. The big name drivers from NASCAR and Indy Car racing that show up to compete in Tulsa and the live national TV coverage has somewhat separated the Chili Bowl from some of the other high profile dirt track races.

None of that matters this weekend!! Eldora is the place to be on the weekend following Labor Day if you're a late model driver or fan and I doubt that will ever change!

I have been going to the World 100 since 2005 and the Baltes Classic since it was the Appleseed since 1995. Anyway this is the 2nd year I have missed a world 100 or Dream and I live 40 minutes from the track in Troy, Ohio. I think there is more quality cars there than ever. You don't see the Florence and Oakshade and Michigan cars there like you used to. A lot of it is the 3 day format. Also the amount it costs to enter a car. The best thing would have been to waive entry fees and really make this race a one day Saturday show and make everyone run 40's on their cars. Might see a big surprise in car counts.

Doesn't matter when it's run, it's still the biggest!! And you've still got $hit for brains! LOL!!!

LITEY'S LATEST CRANIAL X-RAY!! EVERYTHING IS STILL IN PLACE!! LOL!!


I'm sure the vast majority of late model drivers, if asked, would say they'd flatly turn down an offer of a Hendrick Motor Sports Cup ride, said no one ever!! LOL!!

Less bull$hit and a lot less financial security and fame.

And starting in 1988, Bloomquist, Moyer and Moran won 12 out of 14!!!!!

In my opinion, that's the three best drivers in the history of dirt late model racing.

[Clayton_Wetter]

No I didn't. I only pointed out that there were several races that had been around much longer, the Allen Crowe Memorial 100 being one of them.

Here's what appears to be your problem litey. $hit for brains!


Again, refer to your X-ray above to attempt to understand what your malfunction is, litey.

Dang!! And it looks like an inoperable case too!!!! It's all down hill now for poor Litey!!

No plausible argument can be made against those 3. I would only throw Jeff Purvis in as a driver that might would displace one of those guys. I know it's if's and but's, however, Purvis ended his late model career to go NASCAR racing, otherwise barring injury he'd have been right in the mix of your top 3. He was very young when he headed for NASCAR. No telling how many World Hundred's he'd have won. He had a good start when he headed South.

To this day Purvis is the best I've ever seen in a dirt late model and we've seen Moyer, Bloomy and Moran dozens of times over the years.
