Wilmot Summernationals

[BILL47A]

Whats up at Wilmot? Rain or shine? Car counts high or low?

[bullring]

I’m an hour west of Wilmot so whatever happens here usually goes there. Just watchmaker local weather and they 50 percent chance of showers late afternoon early evening. It’s a crapshoot

[bullring]

Normally low car counts won’t be helped by weather

The thing with Wilmot is that it is known that if you attend an event there, you will not be out before 11pm usually. That being said I still plan on attending tonight. The last time I was there for The Hell Tour they had 19 cars and 90% chance of rain and it ended up sunny and 85. As for car count, when it comes to Late Models, it seems and is rumored that a lot of the Wisconsin/Dirt King Tour Drivers don't care for Wilmot. Wilmot always runs late due to there being too many support divisions for the main event. If you can get through these issues it is a good track. FYI it is my home track.

Tracks need to understand that shows need to aim for 3-3.5 hours long and push the show through. I don't know the last time I've been to Wilmot and been home before 1-2am.

[LM1M]

The tracks that understand that fans don't want to sit there for more than 3-3.5 hours are the ones that are thriving.

[bullittwrench]

Totally agree!

Went to the late season Dirt Kings Wildman Watson Late model show last year. 5 hours to run three classes and yes, the Late Model main event was last.

That’d get ya scratched off my list.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

This is a Bob Sargent promoted show, so hopefully they move things along.

[LM1M]

The weather forecast is looking iffy tonight so let's take a little poll. If there is weather coming tonight during the show will;
A. UMP officials monitor the radar and adjust the program accordingly to get the late models in (After 3 screw ups they have finally seen the error in their ways)
B. There will be rain coming and they will run the modified feature first
C. There will be rain coming and they will have a lengthy intermission

[Mason87]

I'll take b and c

[plunks7]

I will take "B".

[plunks7]

Did they cancel the race?

[427c.i.]

Just heard it’s cancelled.
