    Greatest race in late model history?

    I would like to hear stories and opinions of what you view as the greatest single race in late model history. For me it would have to be my first World 100 in 1988. Arguably the two best drivers ever in the sport battling for the World 100. Bloomquist passing Purvis and lapping up to third place in my opinion will be the biggest single race in the history of the sport. Whats your opinions and greatest races that defined the sport.

    idk about history.. but I think best Late Model race I ever attended from first green flag to last checkered flag was the 2010 North South 100. I'm surprised it doesn't get more talk and love from everyone.

      2006 Worlds 100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SY51Zgek_4 for me 2nd would be the year Bart Hartman won the NS 100 2005. Crazy thing about the 2006 worlds is Earl won but everyone remember Jeep... I can only give my opinion of races I attended .

          Best race in history. 🤔 Gotta be one with a continuous battle for the lead. Any race with no lead change need not apply.

                  1987 World 100 was a wild one.... Randy Boggs only led a bit at the start and like the last couple of laps. All the fast cars would take the lead and break, he fell into the win if there is such a thing at Eldora!

                      1987 I think that was year Jeff purvis spoiler broke and he had to settle for second had that not happen he would of been the only one to win the world 3 times in a row.

                          Purvis was the best there ever was in a late model in my opinon
