Senoia Raceway Schaefer’s Southern Nationals

[weatherman85]

Ah gotcha. DoD was only showing top two from each group locked. Makes sense now.

Joshua Joiner is doing the live updates for DoD. Must be too busy working on Joseph’s car cuz he’s not on his A game tonight with updates.

THE O Show wins again lol.

[clanton25fan]

Overton takes the win!!! Madden 2nd. Roberts 3rd. That was probably the fastest race speed wise that I have ever seen at Senoia. They put on a show tonight!!!

Y'all should boycott formats like that, Drivers especially! Travel how far to watch 2 qualifying laps, 3 consi races and a feature. Pathetic format. Might as well go to asphalt race. Guys not transferring get barely any laps to get better.

I thought the format sucked also. It felt like it was 3 hours of packing the track and 20 minutes of racing. Plus having to listen to the announcers talk about a lot of stupid stuff. Heat races with 4-6 cars is ridiculous.

Jim a lot of fans Down here in the south have wished that for years but the drivers are against it. Ray’s series was actually one of the first to only lock in the top 4 or 8 and run heats to determine the rest with a dash for the ones locked in. I remember for many years it was qualify and have a one last chance race for most series around here. Most weekly shows is qualify and race features unfortunately.

I turned on the broadcast last night and thought I missed a big delay. Qualifying was starting about 8:45pm? Racing started about an hour later. Sure isn't a friendly format to those that had to work Friday morning.

[B_K]

Look, more people in this thread that will never go to one of these races anyway telling people what to do and to boycott.

So refreshing! I don’t like this so therefore YOU shouldn’t go.

[Rajflyboy]

Valid points about race cars on track. We want to see racing. Not packer cars.

I don't think Their is a "format" in the south that's good fit people who work the next day. Unless your planning on leaving the track and going straight to work lol

[riddle28]

its trickled down to crate classes in the south now. Alot of the tracks around will qualify and run the feature straight up for 604 and 602

How bout starting hot laps at 6:00 instead of 7:30? ........ I'm a Midwest guy who is loving the So Nats. Lotta new tracks and drivers I don't see race has been great but I've found the promoters are in no hurry to move a program along.

Of course car count matters but I'm a fan of hot laps, qualifying, heats, a last chance and the feature. A dash is always nice but not a deal breaker if there isn't one.

IIRC every So Nats race so far has had 5 classes except for last night, it had 4. We need these tracks/promoters to turn a profit but at the same time if people are not going cuz the show ends at 12:30 and they can't get to work, church or the kid's ball game the next day.

Fine line but shows ending after midnight is not good for a family that has things to do the next morning.

Like I said, it's a driver thing. For years Dixie Speedway Heat raced everything except Supers. They would then at least have the fastest qualifier in Supers spine a giant wheel to determine a possible invert of the top 6. However this seemed to stop altogether some years back when Senoia turned to dirt and started qualifying everything. Dixie regulars started showing up at Senoia every week so DIxie fell in line and now they literally qualify EVERYTHING with no invert. That Giant wheel in the pits just sits there now collecting dust.
