I don't know they are doing it now but on the mile track they did NASCAR style pit stops

Everybody knew syr was the moody mile and could bite u in a second. Everyone will start fresh at oswego. Im going to say they will still mandate a pit stop.

Back in the 60s 70s IMCA late models and USAC LM had some long races with pit stops. They did race dirt and pavement on the same series along with NASCAR. There was no room for specialized racers then. You run a 500 mile dirt race one day and Pavement the next week. That was the Big Time of dirt racing for them days. No WOO or Lucas type racing.

Oh they'll to pit for sure especially for fuel but I was just saying they did NASCAR style stops. I think it was last year's race or the year before there was a brutal hole coming out of 4 that caused some wrecks and broke some suspensions. You either went high or low. If you couldn't you were f!cked

Some guys up here ran dirt Friday pavement Saturday and dirt Sunday back in the day with the same cars. Or any other combination. Just depended on the schedules.

It was just a 100 lapper, But I remember watching it on TV, The 100 Hav-a Tampa series at Bristol! They let them stop at midway and make ajustments and refuel, McDowell won it I think!

The Ironman always had a 100 lap fuel stop though.

I was there for all of them, and I don't remember the 100 lap fuel stop. I know for sure that at least two of the winners made it all the way without refueling.

they use to have back in the day 500 lap sprint/ modified show

They did and i was there. I also fell asleep. Most boring thing I every saw. Drivers were just riding around and stretching their arms out the windows. Earl was great for new ideas, but this one was only done once, which was more than enough. I believe Don Hewitt won it in the blue 19. I sat in the grass on the fourth turn hillside, got bored and decided a little nap was in order. LOLOLOL

Not always. Black Jack Boggs won it one year without one. He told me before the race he wasn't worried about running out of fuel. He said he thought he'd make it, no problem. And he did.

that does make sense

These guys are promoting indoor racing on undersized tracks, why not promote a high paying 200 lapper? I'd make the trip for the simple fact I have never seen a DLM race that distance.

[old fan]

A undersized what the he11 does that mean

Better yet......just ask his wife! lol

Old fan you are a fukn tool. I'd bet money your a single old man. Anybody that has been to a professional football game knows the race in St. Louis will be a joke. One lined and flat track. DLM's are way to big for an indoor venue. I'm gonna ride out just to say I was there but watch the race in the superdome from the 80s and you will see what I'm talking about

[old fan]

Wrong clown they are modeling it after macon /belleclaire thi place is just a little bigger than the superdome
