2023 Chili bowl

[StandOnIt]

That was a brutal night for drivers. A whole lot of talent lumped together and so many had bad starting positions that they weren't going to run by a wad of them on their way to the front. They were all too good for that.

I hope they take a look at the car and figure out what happened

Some drivers suggesting his arm restraints caused the buckle to unlatch.

Interesting I know when I was watching the Shootout the announcers were having a discussion about the actual safety benefits of the arm restraints and if they were worth it.

Quick video, you'll get the idea. That was nasty.

glad Austin is moving around. Racing is exciting and dangerous - but wonder if the cars could be improved?

Work to improve them goes on everyday. At all levels.

My guys the Buckwalters going tonight usually run strong. Also interested to see how Jacob Allen does.

Pretty good story. Cruz Pendregon tweets he bought a midget...then another..then he tweets he is looking for drivers. He got a good one with Jacob Allen. Cool to see a drag racing great that caught the Chili Bowl bug lol.

Flo down again her in Raleigh NC. Home page won't load.

Edit: seems to be a correlation with posting here. Of course it came up soon as I posted.

 

[StandOnIt]

Did you see that? Thorson does a 360 on his rear wheels back to 6th and comes back and wins the race.

wear your tin foil hat, I hear it helps reception?

Axsom made that look easy.

That C was wild. C.J. Leary from 14th to first to keep the Bowman ride alive.

Dammit, hard hit for Leary. He never had a chance

He was coming from the back for the second time and getting there.

All 3 cars deep in the soup now.

 

[gnomesayin]

For a veteran of USAC competition at all levels, Shane Cockrum was an absolute disaster in that #7 car. Wadded up half the field in that last B-Main due to multiple screwups.

 

[aunty dive]

Leary ...

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah Leary never had a chance. He had no luck from the start of the day. Oh well, he will be in one of the first races on Saturday.

 

[kkfan91]

Leary ...

Wow zero awareness

My ass, Leary couldn't have missed that bonzi

 

[aunty dive]

I’ll guess he was talking about Ferns in the 4.
