    Speedweeks thoughts...

    You got a thought on speedweeks, from golden isle thru volusia, put it here....

    Thoughts right now on the top of my head - Sheppard is a 4 ft wheelman. Wow. ...Hummer and Spencer got no business being out there with the best of the best. They should be running 4 bangers. ...only reason I’m glad gator week is over - I’m sick of listening to Eshelman. Trying to hard to be funny. The little saying and phrases, gees!!! Made my ears bleed.

    We got to see every race — 4 in person and the rest on TV. It’s going to be tough going back to regular living now lol.

    Rick Eshelman is absolute terrible. At least we won’t have to listen to him anymore for awhile.

      If it's true Hummer had a crate engine in the car then that is a crate late model and has no business on the track with Supers. At least not that group of Supers.
      Big Block Mods put on some great racing.

        Brunswick was ok, East Bay was very entertaining at times & the Late Models at Volusia were pretty boring. Big blocks we're good and from what I heard sprints were good so can't blame the track. Aero or whatever is a huge problem on bigger tracks for late models. I will not be renewing my full week tickets to Volusia Late Models for 2020.

          Every late model feature at Volusia was entertaining. The track wasn’t as good tonight, but there was still plenty of passing for most of the race.

            I agree that volusia supers heats were boring. Track just to fast early. B mains a bit better. Take Sheppard out of the mix, features were pretty good. But at least Sheppard did have to pass for the wins.

                Amen! People who weren’t able to watch, have no idea how true this is.

                  It's a 525 LS built in Rayburns shop... Not a crate. CJ has been a big advocate of the LS platform for years.

                      Add in Brent Larson in drivers that have to go. When you have to use 6 provisionals to start the feature in the first 6 races it does not say much for your team. Arnie Ranta would be better off getting Terry Casey to drive his cars again, he at least made a couple of features at East Bay by qualifying through either his heat or the b main.

                      Heck the WoO Late Model series might as well given Donny Schatz an emergency provisionals too.

                            Lucas looks like they may have a points battle...few more races will tell.

                            The World of B-Shep Late Model Tour, brought to you by Morton Buildings...that's another story.

                            They were all there at Volusia, and nobody had anything for him.

                              The metal music before the races, and all the other BS (does not stand for Brandon Sheppard) is just cheesy. I can appreciate the attempt to make it colorful. But no need to cheese it up. The guy at Knoxville is the worst though always trying to tell us what the drivers are saying to themselves. I think its was 09 or 10 all he would say is "(driver to other drivers) you guy can race it out cause I'm gonna reel ya in"
                              Honestly the announcing in DLM is atrocious.
                              Anyway my take is, Rocket has it figured out, Tyler Erb needs to be taken seriously, Bloomquist is better off without Cody, CBR cant build a fast race car, Rumley's self flattery top gun video was sent out a little too quick, the announcers dont have to cheese it up to sell it.
