Lucas at Rome

[MI Dirt Fan]

Whats the home track for some of the guys on tour?

[dirt crow]

Dixie probably has a good race here and there. Just really never seen one in supers. Best 2 I’ve seen there I suppose was O’Neal’s late pass of Schlieper and Mark Kinsers last lap pass of Saldana.

Just out of curiosity why has that been a Sunday night event for? Thanks

Rome has always run on Sunday nights, even their smaller shows. Been that way since the 80's.

Rome ran on Fridays around 2000 ish!! (My mind is slipping in middle age!!) Dixie John knows for sure, maybe he or someone else will chime in! Personally, I could do Fridays easier than Sundays! Monday is going to hurt! Hope the racing is worth it! And I still have my World 100 armband, if you need it & will be at Rome.

You are likely thinking of the one year that Dixie and Rome swapped. Ran Dixie one Saturday, then Rome the next Saturday. Only lasted one season.

We went to the Lucas show at Rome in 2008 when Billy Moyer set the new track record of 12.78 and EPJ won the race. Great show and it was on a Friday. Thereafter, they’ve had it on Sundays.

Bama’s Best Jason Hiett has it on his schedule

Who is a Longhorn dealer but driving an XR1, weird...

That 12:78 lap Moyer drove at Rome was sheer perfection. Car, driver, track were all on kill at that moment.

Agree Dixie was the better race last year.

[MRM]

Dixie always draws more cars and Rome usually has the better racing. Not sure why on the car counts unless racing on a Sunday night is a factor.

I actually think the Dixie race was the better of the two the last couple of years. Was great seeing Dale McDowell win in from 9th in 2016 chasing down Bloomer and T-Mac for the win. The next night Darrell Lanigan just flat out ran away with the Rome win.

i dont know if i would go that far Crow , but im glad he is representing ..........

[champion24]

Add 16 Horton to non Lucas guys. No Cat or Hickman. Sidenote: Who is Bama's best then? We'll have to work on those lists in the off season!!

Hiett has won at TST, Ft Payne, EAMS, Boyd, Senoia, N Ga, Rome, Dixie, Cleveland, Cherokee. He has Southern All-Stars, MSCCS, Ultimate, and unsanctioned special event wins. And one of a very small hand full of Bama drivers thats made Lucas Oil and Outlaw feature fields. Several limited late model specials wins. Name another current late model driver from Alabama with that resume.
