Has anyone heard of any new drivers who may be going to LOLMDS?

[calverton]

yes that would be bull crap

[lokwaidid]

if bloomquist does have surgery and doesn't heal the quick, and davenport doesn't race the series, I would think the car counts would go up. I also think the racing would be more competitive without them. both of them were always thought of as the favorite at any track. if they were gone i'd have to think of landers as one of the top in points

[jlacey]

I have a feeling that TMac will have a good 2017, with or without Bloomquist and JD.

The guys run these series based on business decisions. Few care about what the name is on the series.... it's about traveling expenses, purses, sponsor commitments, etc.

One of my early racing partners favorite sayings was 'you can't eat points'... we raced wherever the money was best, the tech was fair and the chances to make some $$$ was good... and we raced for $100 to win features!

[calverton]

you gotta love the tracks that give double points for a weekly show lol

after reading the drivel of certain 4m members concerning how great the lucas oil champion is and how inferior the WoO series is, maybe some lucas racers ought to consider WoO!!!

sorry. that was uncalled for.

If WoO would have a tv deal like Lucas they would have more caliper drivers. Sponsors like having their name pop up on tv for free. And not a show on the internet, on real tv.

The WoO is on TV today. Multiple times. And it's caliber, not caliper.

Sorry caliber..lol but is WoO on tv as much as Lucas?

Theres definitely some favoritism towards 1 driver as alot of us witnessed tonight. A move that got another driver dqd for doing the same thing came with no penalty this time.

If you are talking about the Sprint driver bringing out an intentional caution and being DQed from the heat and Richards not being DQed:

The race was already under caution, not green like the Sprint race was. Also, there were several Late Models over the weekend that brought out cautions intentionally and then drove away into the pit area, etc. or to catch the field. The WoO Sprints and WoO Late Models do not have the same staff making the decisions. I didn't see any Late Models DQed for bringing out a caution intentionally.

Not generally, but that's mostly because the company doesn't own a TV station and camera crews like Lucas.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

No prob just didnt wanna seem like i was picking on this driver anymore than i already have, ive seen some of my favorite drivers do the same thing and it bugs me then too. Richards had a flat, drew the caution. Which is fine considering he had nowhere to go. Problem was he didnt make it back out in the time allowed so they gave the 1 to go sign. Now he comes out and immediately stops on the track to bring the yellow back out, soon as the yellow comes hes back on the gas. Alot of fans were confused since another driver was dqd earlier in the night for the same thing, some of the words i heard a few of them use were favoritism and crooked

They all do that sh!t. You see what you wanna see, JD, Bloomer, you name it, they do that dumb stuff too. Not just Josh. But that's the status quo for 4m.

Its gonna shake out to where there is 10 or so quality teams follow both series the whole way because of the show up money and point fund money is based off the top ten. There may a less competitive well funded car or two try to run the whole deal if there is an uncontested rookie of the year title available. But even in the regional series, there is usually as many follow the whole deal as there is decent pay in the point fund. It kind of just works itself out about the first 1/3 of the way in.

Per the usual I'd guess the best idea we'll get is after speedweeks like any other year......
