    The mod race from Boone on the 24th is every bit as incredible as it has been hyped up to me.

      Not sticking up for WoO but, they don't seem to have an influence on FALS track prep during the PDC... Jus sayin'.

      Y'all missed a good'n last night at FALS!! 😊

Some say he didnt earn it, I say he did. He saw the track beginning to take rubber and he stepped it up to get in front before the freight train began. The haters will be doing a lot of crying this year.
        I'll say this... You surely can tell a good fairy tale ... 🍭💫

          I was at the Boone WOO late model race and was impressed by how well several drivers got around the track. First of all , Kyle Strickler snookered the leaders in the third heat by going from deep in the field to pass everyone in front of him and go for the lead coming out of 2 to take the lead going into 3 and go on to win the third heat race. By the third heat , the track had slowed down but Strickler did not. Strickler turned laps of 15.72 seconds to match the times of Babb when the track was the fastest.
          I was impressed with Dillard and Babb , they sure put the hammer down. I have not watched Billy Moyer very much in the past years , but Billy sure impresses me as a very cunning racer. He made some unbelievable passes and stuck the race car into unbelievable places to makes passes.
          I know Bobby Pierce is a hard charger and proved that in the feature. Bobby drove a very skillful race and raced everyone clean. He showed he can race hard and fast on a good track and can use his head to make his car perform well on a dry slick track. He showed he is good on any track condition. He drove a very smart race and deserved the win. He was patient with the lapped cars and did not root them out of the way. Bobby Pierce deserved the win. I went away from the 100 lapper with the feeling the best driver of the day won.
          As far as 100 laps go at Boone , I don't know if black dirt will hold up well for 100 laps. A 50 lap feature may be the limit for black dirt.

            @Mod Runner I tend to agree with you about black dirt tracks. I realize Boone's farming crew is the best but Late Model tires can use up a track quick. I think they did all the could to keep the track fresh, but the track was no match for 100 laps of Late Models.

              I guess now it makes sense on why Boone farms all the time, it just can't make many laps without locking down.

              On a different note, why does WRG limit support classes for the sprints, but never for the late models? Since I've had dirtvision, Sprint cars have never had more than one support class, but it seems late models always have 3 or more. You see maybe 1 or 2 WoO sprint races a year where its rubbered up, while every LM race (Lucas or WoO)with multiple support classes is a almost a guaranteed train race.
