Current Late Model racing is boring and predictable....prove me wrong

[MRM]

I think with dirt late model racing going year round except for time off in December people are getting burned out on it. And the bodies being as jacked up as they are now aren't helping any either.

I've found myself starting out watching the late models and ending up watching the sprint cars. Until fans stop showing up I highly doubt anything will change unless the drivers start saying something needs to be done. It's pretty sad that the race is won at the beginning of the night during Qualifying. Could you imagine fans getting up after qualifying leaving and saying that was a good race.

I think next time JD sets quick time , everyone should get up, head out to the vendors area , buy a JD shirt, then exit stage left. No hot dog, no beer. Might just work.

Sorry, I can't prove you wrong Dirty!

Don't count on it ever being fixed, the same people sponsoring theses series and tracks are the problem, its no secret guys like Landers and Wells spend millions a year on high dollar engineers and its paying off!! These purses are so top heavy the people at the top won't change!

Millions a year? I'll have some of what you are having.

You misspelled Ferrari and Red Bull.

Was thinking the same thing. Dirt LM racing is pretty much like F1. All you need to watch is qualifying.

It would at least get their attention.

The sad part is, I looked at the heat lineups. Saw JD in heat 6, knew he’d win and start front row and win and I still went.

I knew it too and said so about JD. Here is the thing, Eldora actually has a good format if you look at it. What happened with JD was just getting lucky to land in the sixth heat with cars easy to beat. Florence has taken on a similar format which I like too.

I do not like the way Lucas does their usual format. There should be a pill draw for the first eight drivers who qualify through the heats.

As far as what I watch, I have not changed. Sprints, LM, and Nascar. All of it. I do not have to choose one over the other because I watch it all delayed.

It's more boring watching on TV than in real life though. There's plenty of other action on the track besides the leader, cameras can only focus on so many things at once. The first two rows will win the race, but there's usually someone that started in the back and is doing some amazing stuff charging through the pack. That rhymed by accident.

You're a poet and don't know it, But you're big toe showed it because it was a Longfellow ! Usually there is someone that got the hard charger award that passes about 9 cars that makes it exciting.

You’re on to something. Jd has had the best car at Eldora in recent years however he’s had a ton of luck there too. Hitting the draws right, etc. I’m not taking anything away from him though.

2 more Lucas races and the pole sitter leads all 25 laps, all that after an awesome IRA/Maverick sprint car race! Dirt late racing has to do something to make this racing attractive or exciting.

Good call play4kps. I went to Lincoln Park last night for the IRA / Maverick show. 55 winged cars strong. And we saw passing! The feature was a torrid battle through traffic. And then saw awesome slide jobs and lead changing passes on the final two laps. Late models and their aero are running us diehard fans off.
