I love Flo's stuff. All year long it is good stuff. For a buck 59 it is worth every penny to me. It has only gone up 9 bucks to 159 in three years.

I think it is a great deal. I just don't watch the TV enough to justify it.

They're saying it was for debris even though it was so clearly for Larson. I guess bringing out the caution doesn't come with penalty in the Chili Bowl.

Different dirt sanctions have all sorts of rules. The top sprint car series use a "blend rule" if a car involved in a caution doesn't stop. They blend them into the order where they would have landed. Will be interesting to get clarification on the Chili Bowl rule.

I think they called the caution for "debris," so it wouldn't matter.

Larson had nine lives tonight. Got bailed out of every otherwise race ending mistake he made.
 
WOW!! Doesn't take them long to start tearing up the clay.

Saw amazing article about the storage or the clay, protecting the stock piles and how they re-use it annually. Most interesting is they estimate in the process of moving from stockpiles to track, then ripping up the track and re-stocking clay they lose an estimated one-half truck load in the process and that is over 700 truckloads to build the track.

it's quite a process. The dirt to make the chili bowl came from the old Tulsa speedway located about 500 feet to the north east of the building where they have the Chili Bowl at the fairgrounds. Emmett Hahn at the time was racing on the old speedway at the time, knew they were putting in a horse racing track...a softer blend, so he asked the fair board what they were going to do with the dirt. They said do you want it? Lol. Because Emmett knew of all the work they had put in to make the fairground dirt track, he knew it was valuable for race track use so he got it removed and shipped to a property he owned.

In another vein. Emmett has another track that was built before the Chili Bowl experience called Creek county speedway. The first time I went out there, the same organization they use at the Chili Bowl they were using then. They swarmed wrecks, the heats went off like clockwork, wham bam you were heading home at a reasonable hour. Nobody does it like he does it.
