Macon -lucus oil race

Great race....would have liked to seen it in person!

I was hoarse for yelling at EPJ to stay up on the wheel! He did a great job and proved he can get it done if the cars right!

I've been to about 30 Herald & Review 100's and all of the Lucas Oil Late Model Series races at Macon and about 80% of all those events featured some of the best racing we see all year. Last night was no exception.

21 cars doesn't sound like it has the makings of a great show but it certainly was a great show despite the car count. If the race last night doesn't blow the "big car counts are required for a great show" theory out of the water, I don't know what does.

I almost didn't go to Mighty Macon last night due to some pending family duties but I'm REALLY glad I did!!

A bigger car count doesn't mean a better feature race. One has nothing to do with the other. However, a bigger car count definitely means a better show overall. If for no other reason than it means more racing. I don't think anyone could argue otherwise.

really I don't travel in the dead of winter for d@mn midget race

1 of the 2 biggest dirt track races of the year is well worth the trip ANY time of year!

Sure can. Quality trumps quantity every time. It's as simple as that.

You have to excuse fruit loops he thinks only in his area you can have good racing.

What a race. That last caution, boo. But I still think Bobby had her. Helluva a race, and good driving by all them front runners.

That race last night is why I love this sport. When the racing is that good it doesn't matter who wins; you still have to love it. Four different chassis types in contention for the win right down to the wire too!

Does anyone know what happened to Owens? I figure he must have had a flat to finish at the tail of the lead lap.

Well obviously. I assumed the quality part was a given.

It really was a great show. It seemed as if when anyone would show Pierce a front fender he'd just turn it up a notch and put some distance on them.

I don't know as I've ever seen as much rear steer in a car as what Brandon Sheppard was showing. Half or more of the left rear was disappearing behind the sheet metal ahead of the wheel opening when he got back on the gas getting off the corners.

Pretty much sums it up.

Brandon or Bobby, on the cushion, man. Honestly, Brandon is one of the most aggressive ever on the cushion. JD too, but Brandon, man.

Seems like Bobby's car never squats in the corner at Macon, all others squat when they let off gas like what we normally see.

Think about this, Could it be, that Bobby is never really off the gas? Trail breaking helps for a smooth transition in the corners. The guys that use the throttle as a on/ off switch aren't as smooth and have trouble getting drive off the corner. This is one of the things that is called talent. It's hard to do well.
