Kokomo Smackdown tonight
 

Anyone got a report on smackdown tonight?

Yea track prep sucks. Again

Hunter seems to be doing real well in the team's other car.

Jerry

It's not the car it's motor problems. That has nothing to do with track prep

👍

Track seems fine to me. If I have a complaint, which I don't, it be you could keep the king of the hill deal. But as stated, no complaints

In my humble opinion...great track...great drivers...perfect weather...NO PLACE I WOULD RATHER BE. Smackdown...let's go racin'.

How many sprints at Kokomo tonight?

The most unbelievable finish EVER!!!
Sunshine wins, fights in turn 4 after finish.
3 restarts after the white flag was thrown and each restart all hell broke loose. Might have been "The Greatest Feature Ever"
imho.

36 sprints, 20 tq's.

Now we know why it's called the Smackdown. OMG

Who was doing the fighting?

Tyler Courtney 1st from 8th, Tyler Thomas 2nd from 2nd, Robert Ballou 3rd from7th, Scotty Weir 4th from 13th and Dave Darland 5th from 15th. A few observations: Josh Hodges (74X) was a rocket going from 18 to 6th by lap 26 and then he and Bacon touched with flats to both. Tom Harris (from England) in the 5E looked much improved this week, won a heat, made the "A" but flipped on the front stretch. The last 2 laps (or last 2 or 3 times they tried to get in the last 2 laps) were absolutely crazy. When Tyler Thomas hit the wall on the first or second restart they had him come in for a safety check. He was the lucky one. Kevin Thomas Jr. apparently hit it harder and then turned over. Didn't see clearly what happened to Chris Windom on the back stretch. I am absolutely positive that social media will have a lot of mad people on both sides of most of each of the incidents of contact. A lot of it, most of it, or possibly all of it was just racing. In my opinion, all of this action just illustrates how important winning the Smackdown is to racers. This is a classic. Once again my hat is off to all the O'Connors for the great job they do. Once again they prepared a track which let the finest open-wheel drivers in the world showcase what they an do! Thank you!!!

I feel for Tom Harris. Here's a guy that comes from across the pond a few times a year, ran well all week, had a good car, was in a transfer spot for the feature and ends up flipping on a deal not of his doing. Hope Mr. Harris keeps coming back, it's been cool seeing him progress.

I have to ask, what was so bad about the track prep? Tons of passing lots of close side by side racing. Guys charging from the back. I am curious as to what has been so bad.

I have the same question, what should have been done differently.

During the b main, there was 4 wide racing for 4th-6th place. I thought it was fantastic

Who was fighting?

This really did make me LOL. Your baby boy doesn't make the show so it's the track prep. Come on dude.
