    The Highside Tickler

    Shout out to Kyle Strickler. Looking (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good for his first time at Eldora in a late model. Seen him win a lot of modified races at Carolina Speedway.

      Yep, Strickler, Hoffman, Hawkins and a few others need to be in late models. Way more talented than some of the guys running lates now because they have a BIG bag of cash and live on provisionals.

        Loved his reaction at drivers intro. You could tell he just enjoyed being there.

          Kind of a shady move, aka Davenport RF wheel slam.

          Just say no...

            I watched that a couple times and that was on JD. He slipped up into Strictler.

              That accident was all JD. He slid up next to him and the touch. Kyle had position and was already running the high groove of the track. I've know Kyle for about 10 years now. That was a racing deal and JD just sild up a little to much and that's all it took. It was a good race. A lot of comer's and goer's during the race.

                You can't really aim for someone's RF when you can't see it. I'm sure he knew he was there, but there was no way that was intentional. Plus that's taking a a high chance of cutting your own LR.

                      He is entertaining, nice to see guys like him and RTJ running some late model stuff. Thornton is one I hope can put together more late model runs. To me his driving style is more like Bloomquist’s, smooth and in control.
                      I hate time trials.

                        You guys must of been watching another race, Strickler came down into JD. Its really plain to see, Strickler seen him down there, and either wanted to change lanes or tried to choke JD down a little coming out onto the straightaway.

                          I didn't think so at all. I just posted in the Dream thread I thought it was a racing incident.

                          Not arguing, but curious if maybe where I was sitting it looked different. T2 right by the Jumbotron, so I was a ways away from that move.

                            Dude get off your high horse. Accident happen right in from of me. Davenport slid up. Where was kyle supposed to go. He had position. You for get Davenport had all that room on the bottom side of the track but he slid up the track. Your concept of racing seems to be a bit off.

                              LOL the only high horse here that i see is your view.

                              Pretty simple to see on the video replay. He came down off the wall, along the front stretch, DoD has one carmera angle, its plain to see. You can see the 8 Cars entire right side, the previous laps he was up against the wall, every lap prior. Whether it was a mistake or not, that is a valid argument.

                              Go ask Davenport what he thought about it.

                              My concept of racing is off, LOL, that's rich LOL.
