The 4 is like the nascar 22. You don't want him in P2 if you are in P1.

This was my first time to Florence and I doubt it will be my last, kind of a paperclip with decent banking. During hot laps and qualifying it was entertaining just watching the sprint cars try and stay straight coming down the front stretch as the weight would transfer.

I thought the racing was really good through the heats and the feature, the BOSS guys usually put on a nice show, what they lack in pure power they make up for with diversity of drivers and equipment. There are a lot of comers and goers in their races usually. I had Westfall and Lewis pegged as the guys to beat and it was a good race between them, Matt tried low for about ten laps and then decided to try the cushion and was able to get it done.

Sometimes you go to a track that doesn't typically race sprints and they have issue with push vehicles, not the case with this race as Many of Eldora's regular trucks were there with others to help out. It should also be stated that Lawrenceburg's safety team was there to assist, I think Indiana race fans take them for granted sometimes as they travel around to help out at other tracks. I would put them up against any safety crew that I have seen in the country, just my opinion.

They also did a great job of moving the show along as the support divisions were always ready to roll. Kudos to the support divisions as well as there were not a ton of cautions that seem to plague them like they sometimes do.

Florence seems to have plenty of stands, there was a little wait in line to get in the building and there were lines for food but they moved along at a decent pace not to mention it was $1 night for some foods which I'm sure made for longer lines.

Florence is not the place yo want to go for the first time to take your camper to a track, not a flat place in the parking lot. We got it done though.

As I said, I will probably go back. I kept thinking that I would love to see the National guys there and I think I would like to see some Late Models on the track to compare.

Was good to see you again KB. The LM's at big events will run the cusion and throw bomb sliders like the sprints can. You'll often see Josh Rice and Bobby Pierce throw sliders and scrape the wall riding the rim.

Sadly like all of racing they no longer run weekly Full up LMs and suffer in at car counts like many tracks are. Ten Grand to win races sometimes don't pull a full field.

Luckily they got four or five events going for em. Latham, North South, monster trucks.
That crowd saturday was bigger than the spring fifty.

Yes Charles, it was nice to talk if even for just a few minutes. Hopefully I will see you if we both make it to L-burg Midget week.
