    Spring 50

    Thought this was going to be a dud,but this is pretty good stuff. Especially for a day race.

    Josh Rice took lead from Pierce about 20 laps in.

      I've got to get to Florence. That was a good race. That Rice kid gets around there very well. Rear spoiler was still intact after a good 25 plus laps up by the wall.👏

        Florence is a great track. The day racing was the only thing that concerned me about today,but that race delivered.

          It's amazing how if you move the train from the bottom to the top, everyone is suddenly really happy with it.

                I don't know about train on the top. There was passing all thru the field. Winger, and Hedge(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) especially.

                  No one could race the middle to bottom. They just got a run then dive-bombed the guy ahead of them and stole that high line. But, that's how Florence races in the night time these days too.

                  You pass on a bottom train when a guy slips up. You pass on a top train when you get a run and throw a slider.

                    I get it was cool and breezy, but I can’t believe they did absolutely nothing to the track before the B main and then again before the feature if needed.

                        Any race with young Bob in there is sure to have some great action in it ! ! Some have speculated that if Rice hadn't had a brand spanking new car on under him, the outcome might have come out a little bit different ...

                          Rice can win at Florence in an old junker. I think Pierce was faster but catching him is one thing.

                            Nobody out there, running up front, had something old enough it was less than 100%

                              IMO I like the old Florence speedway, where the track was black as asphalt. Really good racing it was. But who knows how these cars would have raced on it.
