    Boro/00

    I don’t usually see Devin be that way. But that was awful, if not intentional, just zero chance of being a decent pass.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      It will be interesting to see how many cars enter the DREAM. Will it be over 80 or under 80? I doubt we see 85 or more entered. I say 75 will be max.

        Just watched the replay on Flo. There couldn't have been more than 500 or 600 fans in the stands. When was the last time Eldora had that small of of a crowd that wasn't weather related? Last week's Let's Race Two did not look like much of a crowd either?

          Last week was reduced capacity. Don't know if that was a factor or not?

            Is the replay not available? I see the replays available on Flo for all the other races from last night, but not Eldora.

                  Type in Eldora on Youtube, it’s the first video. And there’s footage of the “slider”.

                    I was thinking that, just didn’t want to say it.

                        Looked like a racing deal to me. The difference between a successful slider and one like this is often times a matter of getting lucky or not. Once you commit, a lot of times you’re just hoping it works. We see it pretty much every weekend. It’s dirt racing. It happens.

                          ^^^^ Gotta agree. With these containment seats visibility is at a minimum for sure. Understanding why some of them don't turn out to well.

                            Last week the world of outlaws sprint series basically sold out both nights. They have a huge following. I realize the world and dream are there, but lets face it. Tony has done little to nothing to grow the sport in that region, sadly most of the people in the area really dont like Tony making Eldora a special events track only. Thats his choice and thats his track, but along with that came a lot of favor from the locals and law enforcement. Lets see what happens, Even Steve Casebolt drove past the Eldora exit to go 75 miles further away to Atomic. And lets face it, 24v dollars for that weak of a show is very expensive, he should have brought in the 360's also. I know the boos are coming with my next statement but I think Eldora needs to reduce its banking like they did before the NASCRAP trucks came in, especially in 3 and 4. Lets face it, when Eldora is face the racing sucks, its one fast groove all the way around. Speed sells, but competitive racing keeps fans coming back.

                                But it’s all in where you execute them. You gotta dive down and make yourself seen and that way this guy knows you are committing and going for a slider. When you do what Devin did or what someone else is famous for, you give the person zero options. When they know you are committing to it, you give them time to make a decision so contact won’t be made. A little different angle and Devin is getting turned straight into the wall. The just below them and stuff him move rarely works, and eventually it will not. In the form of payback later or right then.

                                So many of these guys do them perfectly and know how to counter them also. Some, just are terrible at it. Shame it ruined Hawkins night.
