Chili Bowl Qualifying Nights Driver/Car lineup Monday-Friday

[CIRF]

How long you'd last at IOW has nothing to do with whether or not you like dirt open wheel cars, flyopenboy. It has to do with your stupidity and hate.

IOW is totally different from this joint. Although there are a few (very few) half wits and clowns at IOW most everyone has a working knowledge of what the hell they're talking about, unlike you, flyopenboy.

About 90% of what's posted on the DLM board here is an attempt at oneupmanship of someone who posted something that hurt their feelings. I know this to be true since I have several admirers who obsess over me every time I post the truth. It's fun and satisfying but it's time consuming and unlike some I don't get paid for my knowledge of the "dirt late model landscape", whatever that is. I get paid for doing business. I follow racing for enjoyment regardless of what's on the track.

[CIRF]

Flyboy you don't like the midgets?

Kid, I'm reasonably sure flyopenboy had never attended a race of any kind, let alone a USAC/POWRi National show. Therefore, regardless of what he says he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just so you know what you're dealing with.

Kid, Lauren Stewart is once again promoting the Shamrock Classic USAC National Midget show in the Southern Illinois Center down at Du Quoin in March. She took the year off in 2021 due to the virus. You have any interest in going down there for that? It's usually a great show.

Flyboy you don't like the midgets?

Correct. I have seen USAC dirt and paved midget racing in person and it’s certainly not my thing as a spectator. I think driving them would be a blast.

We have folks posting during the races on standings for each lap. Late Model board has useful information. It has opinion as well. CIRF appears pretty arrogant and hateful. You completely disrespect a guy like Sammy Swindell. His record speaks for itself. That’s my 2 cents.

[Dirt Clod]

Fly,

What tracks have you seen USAC dirt and paved midget racing in person?

[Rajflyboy]

Fly,What tracks have you seen USAC dirt and paved midget racing in person?

Kokomo a few times and the paved at Concord motor sports park back around 2008 ish. Dirt wasn’t awful but the concord event was by far the worst race I’ve ever gone too. Crashfest that went on all night. Unorganized mess.

I haven't thought about it to be honest. I've been super busy with work and have been working 6 and 7 days a week to try and get caught up and that's not happening right now. I have never seen it like this with this much work. I did take Saturday off to watch the chili bowl all day and then worked Sunday and everyday this week plus tomorrow and Sunday .

Yeah I hear it's a pretty good show. I keep saying I need to make it down one of these years.

Totally irrelevant to the question you asked. Like I said, post your question on Indiana Open Wheel.

If you watch the hole thing Kenny said Midget engines are 60,000

[lurker]

I watched it, he’s an Idiot. Some can be $60g depending on the form and assemblies, some are not close to be $60g depending on the form and assemblies. Like I told you earlier, it’s a loaded question that is best suited for the Indiana Open Wheel brain trust. To say ALL midget engines are $60g is untruthful and disingenuous by nature. It’s an discussion deeper than your simple original question.

[Rajflyboy]

That’s why I asked on here. That seemed high for a midget to me.

[kidrock]

Flyboy I agree I was going to say it seemed a little high but, I have no clue as to what one cost but, nothing would surprise me anymore when it comes to cost and racing.

Kenny also missed a major part concerning sponsorship now a days. Social media part is huge.

I am in agreement.

After more than a week removed to let things soak in a bit, I would summarize the 2022 Chili Bowl by saying the racing was as good throughout the entire 6 nights as I ever remember it being. Weather didn't effect travel and our Airbnb was better than any of us expected it to be. I don't know how this event can get any bigger or any better but it probably will. The sheer number of racecars and spectators is starting to get just a bit overbearing. Concessions and restroom facilities are at full capacity, or maybe a bit beyond, and just moving around on Friday & Saturday night's is a small challenge. But! It's The Chili Bowl, the biggest and best dirt show of the year so I reckon those inconveniences are a tolerable byproduct of it's huge success.

As the old Three Dog Night song says "Well I never been to Heaven, but I've been to Oklahoma.......in January" (just a little variation to fit the narrative).

Counting the days 'till 2023 to make that 9 hour trip west, again!
