Dirt Late Models 2022

Opening night of the North/South 100 starts tonight. Qualifying just about to begin, live on Flo.



Edit: Quick time pays $2k tonight.

Rain, rain, go a way. Was watching something on YouTube while Mods were running & had TV muted. Looked up and saw they building an Ark. Flood warnings here in Raleigh NC. Been getting hammered last hour or so. I don't see this happening tonight.

 

[KTMLew01]

Pulled the plug. Moisture coming up out of the track. Try again tomorrow. Tonight's race will NOT be made up.

 

[KTMLew01]

Must have injured somebody in that Mod wreck. Taking forever to get track cleared. Flo hasn't said a word about it. Not showing the front stretch either. Whole crowd is standing up. Siren blaring now.

I missed the wreck. Wasn't paying attention. Hate mods.

 

[KTMLew01]

My guess is can't restart race until ambulance comes back.

 

[KTMLew01]

I'm guessing the guy that went up and slammed down has a back injury. Just a guess.

They had to cut Cody Hegreberg out of his car. Engines have been refired.

Had to wait on a transport ambulance to get here.

The Davenport / Madden 100...I mean the North / South 100 for $75k coming up. Any potential for a surprise winner tonight? Hope so.

Won't be Madden. Broke it first lap.

Yep. Davenport looks to be cruising, but they finally got another caution to bunch them up.

 

[gnomesayin]

Davenport leads the whole distance. Overton got there at the end, but couldn't get a run.

Good runs for Marlar to get to fifth and T-Mac to seventh after struggling earlier in the program. It doesn't feel like the Rocket house car has what it takes to stay with the #39 down the stretch of this championship.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Once Madden broke, the suspense was over. Not one of the better North/South 100's. But not the worst either. Had they been required to go to live TV at 10:00, they would have taken more time to rework the track.

 

[KTMLew01]

Man my experience with Flo hasn't be much to brag about. Regularly drops the signal and have to reboot and find what I was watching. Dropped out completely today during 2nd 450 Moto. Now trying to watch the Topless 100. Not even listed. Has last nights.

As usual...now their site says starts at 8:30 PM. Few minutes ago said 7:30 but no button to launch it. I'm not farking impressed.

Good racing in the field, but they're still all following JD. Someone beat him please.

He's overdue for a flat late.

 

[KTMLew01]

Something going on with my Internet. Been dropping out for less than a minute several times a day. Asked Spectrum about it. Of course they said not on their end.

 

[KTMLew01]

Love to see BShep take this.

 

[KTMLew01]

BShep out of tires.

 

[KTMLew01]

Swear...only car out there that appears to accelerate on the straights is Davenport. Everybody else seems to run same speed whole lap.

But fantastic race so far.

 

[KTMLew01]

Who fails droop?

 

[KTMLew01]

Probably rained out at Port Royal. Raing now.

 

[KTMLew01]

Cars on track at Port Royal. Think hotlapping to get track run in?

 

[KTMLew01]

 

[KTMLew01]

Man BShep on the nitrous.

 

[KTMLew01]

I prefer the 1/4-3/8 Mike tracks

 

[gnomesayin]

Good night for late models. Both Port Royal and Davenport look to be in prime shape, both big money shows.

 

[gnomesayin]

Wonder what it is about Port Royal that makes JD struggle compared to just about everywhere else.

It’s always fascinating to see a driver struggle at a certain place. IMO every driver does have one.

 

[KTMLew01]

WTF was that? Erbe caused a caution to go in for adjustments after getting lapped? That's bullsheet.

 

[KTMLew01]

Nice. EPJ takes it!

 

[gnomesayin]

I didn't know it had been that long since EPJ won. Good for him, he's been solid and lurking this year. Good stuff, nice to see a less predictable race.

Sounds about Turdo.

Best wishes to Nick Hoffman for a full recovery ( this seemed like the thread for this since he races late models enough)

It's rarer than a unicorn to see two top drivers out of two top teams and nobody is mad at anybody. But reading that Floracing article, this seems to be what's happening with B Shep and O'Neal. Good to see it.

I'm gonna do my usual pulling a guess outta my ear and say...Mark gave them an offer they couldn't refuse. You let him go, get a huge discount on chassis & parts. Money talks. They'll find somebody to fill that seat.

 

[MRM]

Well, Hudson's car owner asked them to sit on the story for a few days. But they ran it any way. He didn't get a chance to tell his crew guys or anyone. So yeah, he's not happy with Flo/DoD.

 

[gnomesayin]

Really thankful to see this encouraging update about Hoffman, as well as all of the support the family is receiving from racers.

 

[kkfan91]

Gotta love racers
