    18! LOLMDS at husets tuesday 7-19-22

    i was really hoping for a full field...yes i know its tuesday and there arent alot of open lm's in south dakota and its only a $10k win race purse which means less than a $1000 to start.

    maybe in 2023 it will be better?

    Gas prices, tire prices, inflation, car counts seem to be down at a lot of touring races. Not worth it when you don’t feel you can compete to win I assume. Sucks to see but things cost so much at this time

      Been to Husets couple times for sprint cars. Truthfully I didn’t expect it to race well with late models, seems tight. But the first heat race was entertaining. It’s 2022, diesel fuel is over $5 a gallon, wonder if concern about trashing a car right before I80 kept some away.
      I hate time trials.

        A lot of teams will forego tonight to have their stuff clean and straight for 3 nights at I-80 as well.

              The feature was a good one. I did laugh at James Essex, when right before the feature, he said what an excellent crowd was there tonight...looked pretty light in my opinion. Even the top five drivers all made comments wishing more fans were there to watch.

                They mentioned early in the show the track has a TON of seats so doesn't look like many people there. Just lots of room to spread out.

                  Bigger crowd they said than the USAC race this year

                    Husets delivered. Very racy track for the feature.

                      18 cars but they did put on a very good feature. The Tri-State series put on a good companion event feature as well.

                      Huset's is a very very nice facility. Seems everyone voiced those opinions (sometimes to the point where it seemed coached up). The nut to crack is that it is big time sprint car country. I would say the audition of Huset's went much better than the audition of I-70 (which still deserves a chance to get it right).
                      Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

                        The race was pretty good though.

                            Entertaining show for a short field but it's always fun to watch the pros like McCreadie, Marlar, Sheppard, etc. work through the field without a scratch on their cars.

                            Then there was Thornton, who was darned fast but seemed like he had watched a loop of that Illinois guy bouncing off the walls until the back of his car looked like hamburger and finally said enough with two to go.

                              That was a darn good race. RTJR had a fast car, he just couldn't keep it off the wall, only shows you tear up the body like that and lose aero your done. Sheppard's car after the feature had the rear deck all bent out of shape. I just can't figure out why on restarts he loses 2 to 3 positions and has to dig and claw his way back. I thought when he had the inside behind tmac on that last restart we where going to see something, he went from 2nd to 5th.
