Wake me up when there is actual RACING in Dirt Late Model RACING

[Josh Bayko]

The formats at these races lend themselves to this kind of racing.

Watch the WoO show at Davenport. Bet it’ll be good. We’ll see what Davenport can do at Davenport. Gonna be lots of good cars here.

[ZERO25]

Perhaps some of yall should watch Figure 8 racing!....smh!

[zyoung25]

Davenport will probably end up having 3 of the top 5 best races of the year come December. They already have 2 IMO as of now.

Hey Zero, the only figure 8 stuff nowadays is probably a gay guy on skates.

Saturday August 6th Rockfords World Famous Figure 8 Trailer Race. It's made my "race of the year " a couple times. Their are some good YouTube videos of it.

Put some good old street stocks on the track and put a carrot out there.

Funny how it works when you qualify, then put the fast cars in the front of the heat races, then put those same fast cars at the front of the feature......WTF, do you think is gonna happen???? Jesus H Chri$t ...it is racing NOT follow the freaking leader freight train watching. If I wanted that, I would go down the the B & N RR tracks...hellava lot cheaper....
CHANGE THE QUALIFYING PROCESS. MAKE THEM RACE THEIR WAY IN. PASSING POINTS, DRAW/REDRAW, SOME KID IN THE STAND DRAWS THE STARTING LINE UP

Go tell the guys racing for a living that you’re gonna penalize them for being faster than everyone else, then watch them leave your series. Pill draw and redraws have a place at local races. Expecting pill draws for a $75,000 to win race is just plain dumb

Drop shock, you nailed the problem, too many guys are racing for a living, this sport gained popularity on the small guy having a chance. Now there is no chance of that. To be honest, at any race you go to now, Lucas Oil, Eldora, and Woo there is usually only 4 or 5 cars that got a legitimate chance to win the race. In todays late model world its 95% car, 5% driver. Put Davenport, Overton and Mcreadie in Scott James, Trevor Landrum or Jessie Lays car and see where they finish! Josh Rice won the last Lucas race there, his car was on the edge of madness every lap, Davenports car looked to be out on a Sunday drive.Right now this sport is all about the car, little about driver.

[play4kps]

Drop shock, let them leave, the sport would be better for it.

Watched some Saturday night, it was very entertaining.

But this dirt late model stuff needs a correction, for sure. To the contrary though, I have watched a ton of races this year, and have seen some very good ones. But some have stunk it up due to the bodies, for sure.

There may have been a rare exception Saturday night at Talladega, we had some in my view, good action in the feature. Page and Winger put on a show, the action thru out the field had passing and movement if you did not focus only on the lead battle. 2 grooves allowed these overly aero dependent cars to actually race, from my angle the whole track could be used. The crowd liked it as I got many a positive comment about the track and show.

The body's need some heavy tweaking for sure.

I agree wake me up too were I live they want too run 8.9.even 10 classes they don't pay anything because they run so many classes and all you got is a wore out race track and follow the leader racing.

This is why Florida speed weeks is epic and why East Bay is still the best dirt track in the country for late models.

Many would beg to differ that statement ! !
