Misc. Sprint/Midget Racing

Kofoid smokes the field on night 2.

 

[aunty dive]

I honestly hope he has no interest and wants to be a WoO driver, but it'll be hard to turn down the opportunity if it's there.

He looks just as fast tonight.

I’m pretty sure Toyota / TRD have their hooks in already.

I didn't realize they were racing early tonight in AZ, had to back the stream up and watch the feature. That was a fun battle between Kofoid and Eliason while it lasted, but Kofoid was the class of the field by far. Surprised to see Schatz struggling after he looked so fast last night. Rico was fast.

 

[gnomesayin]

Pretty remarkable for a USAC team and a driver with little national winged 410 experience to dominate an event like this across multiple nights.

Arizona 410 sprint night #2

 

[aunty dive]

Two at once for the lead.

It was like watching a Larson pass.

 

[gnomesayin]

How about Tony Stewart back in victory lane in a 410 sprint car? He looks healthier than he has maybe ever, and gave it a nice drive. Dominic Scelzi almost ran him down at the end, but he held on. Kofoid was not quite as strong and pulled off with a mechanical failure during the race.

 

[StandOnIt]

Longer version. Stewart qualified on the pole, led every lap

 

[aunty dive]

Last night, Stewart was a lapped car.

Crazy game.

Watching some racing from New Zealand on Flo, wingless 6 cyl sprints and what they call modified sprints which I think are equivalent of micros.

Scelzi finished 7th and 6th in the first two races for the Toyota 410 motor. It's going to be interesting to see who they align with and how this develops during the year.

Chase is back

Chase is back

He's not kidding around about this stuff, really wants to put in the time to get good at it.

In the modifieds tonight at Volusia, second heat was a 00 listed as Buzzie Reutimann. Does anybody know if this is the old Buzzie? I would think he is pretty old to be racing again.

 

[aunty dive]

That’s him.

6 decades later.

 

[DIDIT]

That’s him.

6 decades later.

Wow! I took a walk down to the Gator pond to see, but they must be pitted in the infield.

His son is likely with him.

 

[DIDIT]

His son is likely with him.

Yes, David ran last night and is running tonight. I looked Buzzie up he is 79. Same age as Morgan Shepherd.

Snow tires

Watched a 360 race from California tonight, Shane Golobic (I probably butchered that) beat Macedo. But we may want to remember this kids name. Joel Myers Jr, 14 years old won the dash and may have been quick time over a lot of guys with more experience.

Right down south. The bottom. Invercargill. I like that place.

The biggest difference between racing on dirt and racing in NASCAR is this...​

 

[Whiskyb]

That was great, Tony sitting on a longhorn made me laugh

 

[kkfan91]

CJ Leary and Alex Bowman will climb into the winged 410 this year and Josh Wise will be in the midget

Here now. Not many people.... 45 minutes until it starts but not a big crowd. I guess because the Midget Championship is decided tomoro. We just say down and the wife got us VIP seating.
Just went to the restroom before being seated and ran into Michael Pickens washing his hands. I wished him luck.

Pickens Sprint Car
Racing right now.

Full moon at the track tonight.

 

[StandOnIt]

Pickens victory sit spin was pretty impressive. I wanted to see him pop out of the thing to see if he could walk a straight line.

 

[Clutch]

It was impressive!

He did it directly in front of us.
