2018 Snowball Derby.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I haven't been able to partake in it this year. I hope the weather holds out so that they get it in.

They have it handled. Redneck engineering at work.

 

Yeah but It's been pouring here for the last couple of hours with no let up in sight.

Man oh man there are a lot of good cars and drivers there.

My local guy qualified 17th, Jesse Dutilly, 16.544, he is out of Bradenton, Fla. and races regularly at 4-17 Speedway in Punta Gorda, Fl. Locally, he is the guy that the drivers say, oh hell just give him the money when he shows up LOL.

Seems like every year I have other obligations on this race date.

 

Steve Wallace? As in the Steven Wallace, son of Rusty?

 

I won't say definitively "yes" because I'm not there and it's a common name...but he goes to a lot of the major SLM races. Still a hack, IMO.

 

Yes as in son of Rusty, he has a Rusty throwback scheme for this race.

 

So is this race happening today or... where should we be watching?

 

Here ya go I dug this up. Kinda flakey article though, this ain't no Andy job.
Burton sits on Snowball Pole. Modifieds, Trucks & Pro Lates rain delayed a week to next Saturday,
Saturday’s activity was all washed out, and rescheduled for Saturday Dec 8th. Modifieds, Pro Late qualifying and last chance race if needed, and Pro Truck practice, qualifying and 50 lap feature.

Here is a good pit crawl from Saturday for those that are into that sort of thing. Interesting to me anyway, I have never been there.

Had some track coming up issues but its fixed Lessard in the lead followed by Graggson and Choqutte

 

Nasse from 35th to 9th in 120 laps

 

Thanks for the updates

 

Nasse just punched one of his tire changer after his wheel come off.

 

well that went south quickly

 

whew, glad they didn't have 60 on that car.

 

Hell yeah Noah! Always nice to see a KB car win

 

he will do well in a JR Camaro next year.

 

The Roush crew, say it ain't so

 

Ugh.

 

What lol

 

here is a bit of Nasse's little tempe tantrum

 

Finishing order. Jr's/Hendrick team with the cup 88 pit crew came in third

 

lots of new drivers

 

Nasse showed his ass, what a jerk. He will never see the big time after that debacle

 

Hey were is Mopar9 and that other dude that has 10 different screen names? This is REAL racing but they couldnt get off the hip? lol

 

Who the **** goes after their own crew??? What a jerk.

 

Didnt work out too good for him did it? lol They put him on his back

 

yeah he didn't last long. reported to have paid 5 thou for the crew. Crew whips his ass. I hope they got their money up front

 

Really? 5 grand? lol

 

LOL!

 

Thanks StandOnIt that was just like being there...I could smell the italian sausage from the sausage stand.
