How many laps will lucas oil run thurs and Friday

25 laps. $5k to win. 60 laps $15k on Saturday

[LM1]

With the tropical depression almost certain to roll in on Saturday morning and last through end of day Sunday will the Lucas series make any changes to get the $15k race in on Friday? Long way for most of their teams to go for two $5k to win shows.

[champion24]

Any other updates ?

Copied from Lucas Oil Late Model site.

A complete program of Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains, and a $5,000-to-win main event is on tap for Thursday and Friday nights. Each night, the pit gates will open at 2:00pm, followed by general admission at 4:00pm. A driver’s meeting will take place at 7:00 pm, followed by hot laps at 7:30pm.


Drivers will earn valuable points in each of the two preliminary nights that will determine the lineups for Saturday night’s finale. The top 18 in points will be locked into the A-Main, while the rest of the field will contend for one of the final transfer spots through one of the B-Mains.

AGREED. Since rain is certain, cancel the show or run it on Friday. Way too far to tow for sure.

Bronson just took out the entire field in his heat lol.

[dirtSLMracing]

Massive pileup in heat one.. 8 cars including Owens, Oneil, Thorton tore up pretty bad.

[dirtSLMracing]

6 cars were done in the wreck.. Thorton did come back out and run the heat and finished 3rd out of 5.

Down to 50% chance for Saturday now. Seems to be tracking more East. They’ve got a shot.

[Dlmfan123]

I can't believe Lucas is still willing to run for 5,000 on prelims and only 15 on Saturday. That's there regular purse on a Saturday night

[TerryM]

Doesn't it rubber up top to bottom every year.

You’re confusing “rubber up” and “slick over”. Huge difference.

[LM1]

Back to 70% chance of over an inch of rain tomorrow, I just don't get Magnolia and Lucas burying their head in the sand on this one. Its not like a pop-up thunderstorm here or there, its a tropical depression that spans over 2-3 states at one time.

[castone]

JUST NOW ON Magnolia website they are paying $12,000 tonight !

[NorthAlabama]

Darn! I was going to go tomorrow. Just read the website also that they changed it for tonight, to late for me to travel tonight, the late notice was to late. Darn again.
