Kokomo..This Friday ...
 

I hardly ever miss a Sprint car race at Kokomo ....This Friday the Lucas Oil Late Models will run at Kokomo ...What do you all think it will be like ??..They do look kinda good on Mav TV...But also some of them look like follow the leader ...Just wonder what they will be like on a 1/4 mile track ...and it costs $30 grandstand & $40 pit gate ...Thanks for your input ......nothing can beat Non Wing Sprints ...

I'd be going if Kokomo was 2 hrs from home instead of 3.

I grew up on Late Models, so definitely have my own bias, but they can put on a great show. Lucas format isn't super fan friendly, but on a multi-groove bull ring definitely should be entertaining.

I will be there, then going to Plymouth Saturday 🏁

I've had this race circled all year. It will be a good show. Just look at the WOO LMS at Fairbury, IL for the Prairie Dirt Classic in late July. I've been looking forward to this show all year and with American Ethanol Modified Tour there as well. We might bring one of our Mods with us not sure yet though. With Late Models you don't need a cushion for it to be a good race. If it slicks up just a bit I believe it will be a darn good show. Hope this is a yearly thing for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series going to Kokomo the night before the Jackson 100 at Brownstown.

Lucas Oil Late Models should be ideal for Kokomo. A 1/4 mile bullring is perfect for these guys. I expect good side by side racing as this is about the size of East Bay where they put on a hell of a show in February. The LOLM management knows how to run a quick and efficient program and we look forward to seeing them run at Kokomo on Friday!!! See you there!!!

Bruce and Pat Eckel :6::D:23:

This race will be outstanding. Bet the farm on Shannon Babb.

Any updates on tonight's show?

Re: Kokomo..This Friday ...
 

They really did 'Flock' into the Kokomo Speedway last night. The place was packed both in the grandstands and the pits for another thrilling race @ Kokomo. Thanks to all the people at Kokomo Speedway who makes everything happen.

Wild night for sure. Big crowd. Hopefully we get to see this group again next fall, would love to make this one a habit. Perfect weather. 24 of the Baddest cats its in the alley. anyone that doesn't think the next generation isn't interested in racing? Hudson O'neal, Devin Moran, Bobby Pierce, Moyer Jr. oh yeah Timmy McCreadie too Great night all around. :32::32::32:

P.S. hope all turned out good for the really drunk guy on the back-stretch, he's feeling IT this morning :22:

Word has it that this race converted KO to a late model guy.

Details are sketchy however

True, and don’t forget the winner, Tyler Erb. There seemed to be a higher quality (and noticeably younger) assortment of pit lizards with last night’s show also.

I miss the Kokomo surface of around 2005-2017. Several rough spots, especially in 3 and 4, but still a good race last night. Hammer down for sure. I think I miss the side by side racing that was so common with the surface the way it was before the last couple seasons. The way it has been prepped recently reminds me a lot more of Haubstadt. Not saying that is a bad thing, I just loved what it was before.

Great crowd at $30 a ticket, and fans from all over the Midwest. James Essex asked how many fans were making their first visit to Kokomo, and a bunch of hands went up. That can only be a good thing for Kokomo. Hopefully this show becomes a staple on the schedule, and maybe even convinces other promoters to host some late model events. Big thanks to Cody Sommer, his staff, and their partners at Kokomo Speedway for this event.

True story!

sorry i named the kids racing that have famous Dads. Most of us are 2nd generation racers at some level. Forgot about Tanner English, Terry was a wheel man for sure. Thanks again to all involved. Kokomo keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to see another Big late model show there.
