Largest car count ever seen in person

[latemodelman]

I thought this would be interesting but here it is. My largest car count I have ever seen was the 2003 UMP Nationals when 175 Modifieds and 79 Super lates showed up at Eldora. Also my first World 100 in 2005 when they had 216 Super lates. And of course the 2002 Baltes classic in September they had 86 super lates, 58 modifieds and 56 Street Stocks.

Right at 140 in 4 classes, long night.

The ice bowl in 06 or 07 had over 400 cars hit the track throughout the weekend.

Same.

Been to a few World 100's that topped 220 lates.

Let me tell ya On Sunday of Labor Day at Eldora they ran the Johnny Appleseed and you would see everyone come in to run. I know we would get there at 3p.m. Gates opened at 3:30 and you would see 70 to 86 Super Lates and 45 to 60 mods and 45 to 60 stocks every year for $12. But back in 2016 it felt like a normal Appleseed as there were 40 supers 63 mods and 31 stocks.

Dealers choice. Somewhere around 600

Probably one of the Steel City Stampedes. Always so many cars they have to pit some of them in the parking lot and infield.

A bucket list race would be the big race at Boone called the IMCA Super Nationals with 950 plus cars there.

112 dlms at East Bay!

The annual Spoiler around Halloween at Tri-State Speedway in Pocola,Oklahoma used to draw 400 race cars across all the classes. I even heard 600 once? One year they raced heats until 6 a.m.! Heard it called the "24 hrs of the Spooker." Lol.

I think the first Dream 100 had 175 cars or more. Whatever it was, that was the highest LM count for me.

2002 DTWC had 150 late models,and a ton of mods also.

Most late models ever present at any race I was at was at Bristol when they dirted on up the track.

That first year they had 176-178 lates. I didn’t make it, went the second year. They had mid 70’s to 80 cars lol. I’d go again, good racing, awesome facility.

These days probably draw as much as the NASCAR race dang near.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Been at

Some of them World 100’s, with 200+ cars. The first and I think second DTWC at KC/Atomic, 120-130 or so lates. Freedom 100 at WVMS had I think 112.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

100 mods plus at Atomic too during the DTWC’s there.
