Missing from Hagerstown tonight???

[Russell W]

I noticed some top teams from the mid-Atlantic not at Hagerstown tonight. Jason Covert, Kenny Pettyjohn, Dale Hollidge, Roy Deese and a few others. Are there personal reasons they weren't there or were they racing elsewhere?

Almost expected Richards to be there after planning on running Sharon & raining out. He has always run strong there.. great chance to steal another from the Lucas gang.

I was surprised that the 4 or 5 drivers mentioned above were not there as well, especially since Winchester did not run SLM's last night. As far as I can tell none of the above mentioned drivers raced any way else last night.

Any reason as to why there is 3 weeks off in between WoO dates?

By his web site he wasnt running anywhere this weekend...thats why I didnt pick him on #4 (snipers picks) lol

I'm gonna guess the Lucas tire rule kept some folks away.

Hollidge posted last week he would be taking this weekend off. Never said a reason was stated.

Tire rule does it, all the non Lucas guys have to buy all new tires. They dont run the few options they have at all. Except guys like Satterlee and Zeigler who have them in stock already as they race with them regularly. If not for that there would have been 50 cars atleast. Even guys like Trever Feathers, B Omps, CS Fitzgerald, etc.. were missing..

Doesn't Hagetstown have an open tire rule for weekly shows?

I did see later on that Hollidge was at the beach and got engaged this weekend. Congrats to him and his now fiancé

It's not totally open. Open Hoosier rule.

None of those guys were racing at Port Royal either. Port had 35 Late Models.

This tire rule talk is pure crap. Lucas puts everyone on an even playing field with tires. You only have 2 choices of tire available for each corner of the car. RR is all thats different, its an additional $40 per tire and you only have two options. A 1300 or a 1425 for the RR. All other corners are ribbed 1300/1325 which im certain 90% of guys that run Hagerstown run weekly anyways . I just cant believe that a super late model team would frown over an additional 40 bucks for two tires. Its worth 40 bucks additional a tire to not have a tire debate before the A. You got one choice, everyones on it, now you choose how to cut it. It paid a $1000 to take the green. Plus the compounds teams were on were gonna be smoked anyways, so you wouldnt have to worry about running them again, which none of them would anyways. Just seems like a convenient accuse to not race. This isnt them telling you to jump on all UMP LMs.

35 cars at port for 25 laps 2,000 to win35 cars at Hagerstown 60 laps 12,000 to win? Interesting that you have the same amount of cars for a fraction of the price to win.
