hewitt classic ??

Robert Ballou Motorsports
I bet there's close to 60 cars at Waynesfield if not more

Re: hewitt classic ??
 

54 Cars - one lap qualifying - 6 heats not sure on inversion in heats yet - top 6 in feature invert

I'll post updates from midgy as I get them on this post - just refresh to see if anything has been updated.

Hot lapping cars - qualifying up next

Leary flips - he is ok.

Qualifying just now starting

halfway through quals - Gulick Darland Larson Weir T-Mez Hunter

qual update: Gulick Larson Darland Cottle Weir Brecht Ballou Clauson Stanbrough Hunter - they gave wrong time for DD earlier so it got reversed

top 3 transfer - then 3 b mains which will transfer the top 2

Apparently things are pretty confusing right now with lineups and whatnot - they had duplicate cars and left a guy out. Earlier qual order was incorrect also from what they first reported: top 6 in qual is now Gulick - Larson - Darland - Cottle - Weir - Ballou

Heat 1 transfer: Hall - Gulick - Shuman
Heat 2 transfer: Clauson - Larson - D. Smith
Heat 3 - Stanbrough flips - he is ok - 31M also involved
Heat 3 transfers: Burkin Wolters Darland
Heat 4 transfers: Irwin - Cottle - Schuerenberg
Heat 5 transfers: D. Hewitt - Bilbee - Swanson
Heat 6 - red flag in heat 6 for a guy that had a small fire - Ballou running 2nd
Heat 6 transfer: Ballou - Westfall - Beaber (other tweeters has it Beaber then Westfall so could be reversed)

Stanbrough pulling double duty tonihgt made it from last to 4th in mini-sprint heat

Westfall also pulling the double gets the W in his mod heat with last corner last lap pass per @gojackslash

B Main Line Ups
http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/...7/wrpbmain.jpg

pushing first b now
B Main 1 - Weir & Brecht
B Main 2 - TMez & Gurley
Crabtree flips in b3 - he is ok
B Main 3 - Stanbrough - Liguori

Major discussions going on regarding feature line up apparently....hold tight...after telling everyone all night they would get their time back they posted feature line up without giving B main guys their time back....waiting to see what they're going to do....

Feature line up - B Main transfers do NOT get time back - Clauson Ballou front row
http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/...pfeature-2.jpg

Also - Jack to tag the tail to make it a 25 car feature

GREEN FLAG!

5 laps in - Clauson - Ballou - Larson

Red flag for: Beaber - Gurley - Liguori -Mesearull - everybody is ok

Restart line up: Clauson - Ballou - Larson - Cottle - DD - Gulick - Schuerenberg - Shuman - Bilbee - Wolters - Swanson..........Stanbrough sits 19th at restart

Larson to 2nd - Cottle to 3rd on restart

Larson leads over Clauson - maybe 10 laps down then Ballou Gulick Cottle

Larson has field lapped up to 11th - still green

Larson wins over Clauson Ballou Gulick Cottle Westfall Bilbee Darland Shuman Hunter only cars on lead lap

Just got a text from a buddy 54 sprints

There are 3 things that happen when you get older. The first is that you tend to forget things. I dont seem to recall what the other two are......:D:D:D

Re: hewitt classic ??
 

Actually, I just learned that the 14 starts 9th in the main, along with Kyle, who will start 8th. They both were top 2 qualifiers, got in through their heats and they kick them in the cluster with this start? Wow.. Last trip for this kind of format I can assure you. Promotes Sand Bagging. Ridiculous! Pete Gulick

Re: hewitt classic ??
 

That doesn't make sense! (To me):11:
I wonder where Dave D will start then? :11:
I wonder why they bothered to qualify?:11:
I'm not bad mouthing anyone. Just curious! Weird!

I thought top 6 were being inverted? That's what they first reported to multiple people at beginning of the night. 9th doesn't even make sense - who does a 9 car invert??? Format should have been clearly communicated prior to this race.

Just goes to show if theres no racing in Kokomo on a Sunday night, it's just not racing.... Good luck to all who made the trip to Ohio....

They first reported that it was heads up; qualify fast; start up front. Then it was top 6. Now it's whatever they decide. Outrageous! Your top qualifiers are put to the mid pack. Absolutely absurd. I feel bad for those teams, mine included, that put their best forward right off... PG

If this is the case that's just wrong....they need to have their ducks in a row prior to a race with formats posted and not deterring from then unless it's extenuating circumstances. To change mid way through the night is ridiculous. If I was the top 6 guys I would demand to speak to the promoter.

In fact I just went back and read the posts regarding the format on the earlier thread from someone I am assuming is affiliated with WRP - no where in there is any mention of a 9 car invert......just that final format would be announced at driver meeting.

I was thinking the same thing buddy! Kokomo just knows how to get it done :)

Waynesfield has done some really sketchy things this year. Thats why my car is in the shop right now. Dont take my word for it. You are seeing it first hand tonight.

There isn't even a feature line up on the board yet, so I'm not sure what's the big deal is right now.. Not defending them at all, every line up they have posted tonight was wrong.. But only B's are posted

Re: hewitt classic ??
 

Does anyone know if Stanbrough will be able to run b main???

The entire night has been confusing..They say one thing and do another..

Susan, where ever Dave starts I hope he has a good run.

Also Susan, I was asking the same question about why they bothered to qualify last night at Oswego. They ran a fall championship race added time trails to the nights activites, then ran heats, then had the fatest qualifier pull one of three numbers out of a hat to see if they inverted one, six or twelve cars to start the feature, which ended up being six inverted.

Patti

Maybe they had the ''6'' invert upside down. Hence 9 car invert!?!?
