Just watched 2 nights of Blue Ridge Outlaws. Friday on the small track and last night on the half mile. In my opinion they do a pretty good job of combining different combinations of cars. Crates vs Supers. Ricky Weeks won in the Super last night but it wasn’t a blowout. Huey and Mangum were not far behind at the finish. How do they attempt to equal out things and try to make this work for everyone? I know weight and wings are different. Supers did not have the right wear sideboard (blue ridge allows a sideboard). 👍 Any other methods or ways to make everyone competitive ?

Any combination of weight, spoiler, and tire difference are used to balance them out. It's hard to always get it right. Tacky vs slick will almost always give one of the packages an edge.Modern Day Spec Wedge Racing

Announcer said Ricky and Nance had supers but Ricky did say in the post race interview that he did not have the right equipment to run Carolina Clash this year (so maybe you are right)Pretty good late model show last night. The dash was awesome between Ricky and Nance. (The support divisions plain sucked though) (support divisions at East Lincoln are a real hoot on the tight track) Overall I thought the Blue Ridge folks did a great job. (I will certainly go back and watch them again)Originally posted by flagone View PostHuey and Timbo both were running steel head engines I believe. Ricky may have been as well.

Ricky Weeks had a Clements super engine....Huey had a limited late model engine...Timbo ran a limited sportsman engine with 604 crate heads on it he runs in lightning late model along with 100 dollar pro shocks he had on last night...We knew we were bringing a knife to a gun fight but we had a great night..

Years ago we started SBC's against BB Fords....and Olds, Mopar, Buicks and Cadillacs.
Fast guys made the main...semi and consi's for the slower guys.
Every position paid $$$.
50-60 car fields in two classes. We didnt need six classes to generate back gate $$$ to pay the purse.
I realize our sport is past it's hayday but having every race pay helps bring the low buck drivers back every week. And brings their fans, too.Member of the Luxemburg Speedway Hall of Fame
