The main reason the SLM run topless is for the fans to actually see the driver and how he interacts with the race car.

Zooming in closer on that map,I see that where we are is still in a drought. We had a 5 inch soaking rain last week with more this week. I think the lack of soaking rain is the issue in the state. Arkansas weather truly is strange and unpredictable these days.Originally posted by Clayton_Wetter View PostFormerly 66#1Comment

Nope. That's just their excuse. This did use to be a wedge car race. I didn't attend it back then as I was just a kid and it wasn't in my local area, but I saw the ads for it in the Racing News, the little weekly racing newspaper that I got in the mail every thursdaay. This was in the days before the internet became big. I also saw the picture they would print in the issue following. I believe the bodies they ran were referred to as the "mini-wedge" bodies that didn't have the full side boards that ran the length of the car, but did have side boards on the nose and rear deck. Anyway, that's why this race was originally "topless". Of course they still run it topless today, but that's just a throwback to the history and because it's in the name.The main reason the SLM run topless is for the fans to actually see the driver and how he interacts with the race car.Comment

I'm interested to see where you got this information. Wedges were long gone by '93, even though the bodies did have those flat sloped noses at the time. I've never seen anything on the history of the Topless to indicate that the bodies were ever any different beyond the removal of the roofs.Comment

Well, I've been searching but I can't find any older pics from the topless 100. Perhaps, I was mistaken and it was some other event that I was thinking of. However, there were wedge car event held well past the end of the wedge car era. Anybody got any early topless 100 pics?Comment

I looked through some old memorabilia I have, and saw a Topless 100 flyer from '94, but no pictures. I'd definitely like to see some old pics and hear some stories from the early years if anyone was there. The first Topless I went to was 2000 and I've been every year since.Comment

Hopefully the Lucas series and Mooney Starr are smart and reschedule the Topless 100 weekend for October 11-13, I'm sure the teams would vote for the race to be rescheduled rather than losing a $40,000 to win race.Comment

25000 to win woo race that weekendComment

No Lucas drivers outside of Dennis Erb Jr. would be at the WoO race that weekend and the WoO scheduled at 4 race weekend against the crown jewel Topless this weekend anyway.Comment

Would it be possible to reschedule AFTER the DTWC? Either extend points or make it non-points?Opinions are my own. Twitter.com/ShinySideUp18Comment

I think the World Finals are at Charlotte the week after DTWC. Non points maybe sometime but I'm not sure if it would conflict with anything else scheduled in that area.Originally posted by Shiny Side Up 18 View PostComment

I just double checked, and the World Finals are two weeks after the DTWC.Originally posted by MI Dirt Fan View PostOpinions are my own. Twitter.com/ShinySideUp18Comment

I doubt the topless gets re scheduled for that off weekend. Batesville has that big modified race 2 weeks before. Not many tracks besides Eldora that can hold 2 multi dat events with only one week in between.
Of all the Lucas races at Batesville. None have been rescheduled when the whole weekend was a washout.Comment
