    Lucas oil speedway - randy weaver

    Anyone know what happened to R Weaver last night 21st at Wheatland? Don't look like he even made the race.

    No exact details but he pulled off early during hot laps. Mediocre time trial lap, started back aways in his heat race and didnt move up much. Gained a few spots in his consy but not enough to make the main. There may be more to the story but he just didn't seem to have a good handle on the track. There wasn't a lot of passing in the heat races, he wasn't the only one. Last year's Show Me winner, Don O'Neal qualified poorly, spun unassisted in his heat and took a few practice laps at the back of his consy, it happens.
    I hate time trials.

        Talked to someone at the track and they said he pretty much had a disastrous night. Apparently, they broke an oil pump belt in hot laps and were going wide open to pull back transmission and change it before qualifying then when they got it done realized they powersteering pump shaft was broke so it wouldn't turn the fuel pump so they had to try to change that. Literally had Weaver in the car belted in ready to go and as soon as they got it started they dropped the jack in he made it onto the track just as the last 2 cars were rolling out for their qualifying run. But, never got a chance to work on car for qualifying, missed his qualifying spot so only got one lap at that. Then had to start in back of a heat and 10th in b main that only took two cars. Just sounded like one of those nights.

            In all due respect Dirt on Dirt, Your number 1 driver still needs to prove he is worthy of the high ranking.

                  If you had been there you could have fixed those problems.

                    Unfortunately not much better tonight, if you didnt lay down a good qualifying lap it was tough to move up much.

                      I couldn't agree more.How do you rank a regional driver ahead of national drivers? No disrespect to Randy, but you gotta beat the best on a regular basis.

                        Randy can beat the best. His luck has turnd. I have watched him race numerous times in that win streak.

                          Even though he finished 6th in his heat last night he looked like he was out to lunch because didn't he finish like 6 seconds behind the winner?
                          If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

                              It would be hard for me not to rank the top 5 in WOO and Lucas pts ahead of any regional drivers.They race at totally different racetracks in different parts of the country week in and week out.
