Eating Crow for Sammy Swindell
 
Ok, I have to eat some crow here about my Swindell remark :14:. He had a great 3 race ASCoC week finishing
Angell Park 10th
Jackson 6th
and Knoxville 2nd

These were definitely not cherry picked races and he proved he can still wheel a car around with the best. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

I've seen Sammy win 3 times in the past 2 years, twice with Allstars in upstate NY & once with ASCS 360s in Colorado. All were pretty dull races in NON sprint car Meccas, & he was the main attraction for me (plus short drives!)
Just shows that a Hall of Famer past his prime can beat weekend warriors.... but i like to see the old farts do well:6:
Now if he does well at Knoxville, it will be AWESOME!:23:

56 car field at Knoxville last night. Sammy qualified 4th out of all those entries. I did not realize it was an All Star Circuit race. Tony was even at Knoxville last night. Check out the results of the A-Main and where they started and who led laps. Must have been a heck of a feature.

Wow. The bullet and the child sucking hind t**t. I remember the days they would both likely be in the top 10 of any given race. Ocaisionally getting old sucks.

I like my crow with a cold beer when I have to eat it Chief. :D

Makes it go down a little easier. I've eaten it many a time.

Top shelf of you to stand up and take the hit.

Just like others came to defense of Swindell, I gotta defend my Buckeye Bullet. In the Last 6 ASCoC, Dave’s had 2-4th place , 2 3rd place, 1 2nd place, and 1 win ( Lou Blaney memorial ). He’s far from getting old as well. Currently 5th in points.

Just added a 410 win at 34 raceway tonight with the all stars have to say the last of the big three still winning

flagboy55 7/29/18 11:36 PM
And Sam won tonight at 34 raceway! Non of those guys are done! Jac is still in the top 5 or 6 in allstar points! Check this out. Dave wins at Haubstadt, Danny Smith wins at Atomic, Sammy wins at 34, Dewease wins at port royal, all we need is Brent Kaeding to win in Cali and the old guys rule the sprint car nation!:32:

Double file restarts sometimes provide a false picture.

They're the industry standard in winged racing so....... that doesn't make any sense. At all. That's the argument you've resorted to?

Re: Eating Crow for Sammy Swindell
 
How about the roster of talent the All Stars are bringing to the race track? a few years back this group was all but history . . . . . Thanks again Tony :9::9::9:

Sammy makes any race more interesting :44:

captrat 7/30/18 8:36 PM
Not an argument. This is a gimmick which has made it into racing. So if a car starts 14th in a single file restarts they have 13 cars to pass. Starting 14th in a double file you could have as few as 7 cars to pass. Sprint car racing is pure; no fuel stops, no double file restarts, no lucky dog, etc.

You're assuming one of the rows just stops I guess huh? I've watched a lot of restarts (both single and double) and nearly every one ends up back to nose to tail by the middle of the first corner. It might be a gimmick, but I've never seen it really have much impact on the outcome.

captrat 7/31/18 2:52 PM
Think you need to rethink this. Think about heat races where a car in row 3 often gets the lead by quickly passing 2-3 cars. Lastly, what motivation other than getting more cars closer to the front would there be for a double file restarts. Ask NASCAR and WoO.

In this part of the country that can be pretty true. Which row you start in can make a difference of many positions before you can get back in line or how many you drive by before they can get back in line.

Re: Eating Crow for Sammy Swindell
 
I believe talent level excels in double file restarts...its like the original start with the cars grouped more 2gther at RACE speed, than any invert of luck of the draw situations that may occur at the 1st green...

He'll be at the big dance in Knoxville.
