Re: Bloomington updates
 

Mr. or Mrs. Oakhurst is correct. Thank you.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

if you get a chance - how many cars transferring out of heats? how they lining up b's? like USAC with everyone getting time back??? sorry but I forget how they do things there

Re: Bloomington updates
 

This is a guess. Top 3 transfer out of the heats, with 2 B's. I'd guess again that the top 3 out of the B's will transfer.

Provisionals? Ask Mike. :D

BTW, they are qualifying tonight.

Re: Bloomington updates

Still here, waiting for words of wisdom, well words, from Mr. Hoover.

Grandsons are in Greenfield and headed this way.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Hi Danny! Thank you and please tell Hoover Thank you too!
Stanbrough's #53 is back in action?? Yay!! That's great!

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Coons in the Walker 11 fast time.

Hoover is sprinting to the pits to get heat race lineups. (Yeah, right)

Re: Bloomington updates
 

The only thing Hoover sprints for is a Cheesy burger :)

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Mr. Hoover says....1st heat...Wise, Coons, and Windom all transfer...top 3 only...Ballou 4th

At the start of the 5th heat Dickie ran up on C. Babcock's tire and flipped. Beauchamp was collected and my be able to re-start.

5th heat...Dave Darland, Nic Faas and Scott Hampton 3rd...

Beauchamp did re-start, was working his way though the field and then slid off turn 4 on the white flag lap....:(

The kid has been running well at B'ton the past 2 weeks with not a lot to show for it......yet.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

In my job, often no news is good news. But if I haven't mentioned a favorite driver of anyone tonight, that is probably not great news. Means they are/were running a C or a B Main.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

just wanted to make sure he kept it on all 4 tonight and just get some seat time

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Ballou, Sciscoe, Short, Cramer, and Deckard all move to the feature.

Beauchamp came from the rear to almost make it.

My consolation prize is John Hoover and Butch Wilkerson each eating a cheeseburger in my honor tonight.

Re: Bloomington updates

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Not sure if you happened notice or not, but was wondering if anyone might have noticed how Ray Humphrey looked in what I think was his first night out in the sprint car No. 1H?

Re: Bloomington updates

Please do!! :) I am sure looking forward to it!!:Steer

Re: Bloomington updates
 

All green.....Levi, DD, Wise, Bland, Holtsclaw, Clauson and Riggs...

John lost count after that.

Good night all.....next stop tomorrow night is Salem. Winged sprints!:eek::thumb

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Great job levi just leaving track heading home

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Great job Dave!!! Thank you again guys!!

Good night everyone!!

Re: Bloomington updates
 

Dave ran an awesome race...found a way to pass on a track that was tough to pass on. Wish he could have had a little longer, but he still put on a heck of a show for this Darland fan!

Ray Humphrey had a rough night...ran clean but a little on the slow side...to be expected with next to no experience in a sprinter. He was stuck in the C-Main and couldn't get through.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

I just got home from the track, Levi had them covered except for DD who could keep up but was 10-15 lengths back most of the feature. Traffic gave DD a chance late but Levi found his way through. Josh Wise was 3rd but way behind Dave. The track was black slick after the heats and looked like pavement by the time the feature arrived. Unusual for Bloomington. It was like watching a USAC race with all the names there. Dickie Gaines got upside down fairly hard in 1&2. The car went so high he landed on top of another #11(name?). All 3 features tonight went green to green. I want to add that I believe Shelby Miles will win some features (maybe not this year). He finished fourth in his heat but didn't transfer through the B. He's still somewhat squirrelly but looked much better this week than last. He could be a name for the future as he was tough in a modified.

For those of you that left after the sprints, the finish in the Super Stock feature was incredible. Top 3 crossed the line side by side by side, half a car length apart total, photo finish for second, it was truly the best race of the night. That's why I stay till the last race is run.

I want to add there was one very interesting moment, they were getting ready to go green in the B main and some padding fell off a car in front of the flagman and they turned the yellow light back on but the field was NOT paying attention. Mike Miles rode out on his 4 wheeler picked it up and was scooting across the track and everyone was coming off 4 like it was the green. I would almost bet he had to go wipe after that. He got to the guardrail in time so it was just a close call.

Re: Bloomington updates
 

1 line track all night. Not a lot of racing.
