Caution 5 Laps in: Cottle leads Grant, Clauson, Miller, and Liguori rounds out the Top 5

Caution on lap 12: Cottle still leads! Grant in second running 4 in the fluff, Clauson, Liguori, and Andretti behind him

Wow! Cottle bikes hard in 1, gets in the concrete and stops. Grant to the lead over Clauson, Liguori, Jarrett, and Andretti....13 laps in

About 10 remaining...Grant getting pressured by catfishin' Clauson

Controversy...Red flag comes out right when Bryan Clauson edged out Grant at the line with checkered waving...reverting back to lap 24 running order so Grant will lead Clauson to the green a one lap shootout

Ligouri flipped while I. 3rd. Clauson had just passed grant at the line. Going back for a 1 lap shoot out

Grant wins over Clauson! Weir in third and I don't know anything else

Grant wins..BC is the champ..BC 2nd weir gurley andretti I believe that's how it was..

Kokomo Speedway...baddest fireworks in the land, too? Lol

It was a classic Kokomo night. It appeared at the start that it would be retro night with Cottle taking the lead in the 10e. However he biked it twice and the second time smacked the wall with the right rear and was done. You could tell he knew he had a good opportunity to win by how hard he was pushing it. The remainder of the race was Clauson cat fishing the bottom and Grant going top water. After the false checker and restart Grant held off Clauson but just barely. Tonight we witnessed what makes Kokomo good, both the top and bottom were fast. O'Connors worked the track before the feature to produce a racy track. In the heats it was bottom only. Very nice crowd and an excellent night of racing. BTW, the mod race was a hoot until 2nd and 3rd dropped out with issues.

If only 24 cars, wonder why they ran a B?

Re: Kokomo Updates Here
 

Ummmm maybe because they start 20

In these tougher times some tracks will start up to 24 even when they normally start 20.

Jt why do u always ask stupid questions?

JT, in these tough times how many promoters would shell out 5 to 10k for fireworks to honor a guy that gave his life for our sport ?? Oh but wait .... You were at home arm chairing when you could have been at Kokomo supporting the track and the memory of V.O. Don't ever doubt the logic or the blood, sweat & tears that the O'Connors put into this deal ! They go above & beyond week in & week out to provide a good solid show . Maybe if you would run there occasionally you might see that first hand

Cripe why are you an a hole? My question wasn't stupid, your remark as usual is. I asked because The Burg, Putnamville, and others have started a field up to 24 cars to help those out that made the tow! I'm glad they honored Vince, but Fireworks don't help the 4 cars on the trailer.Sorry Streetglider, but Sundays don't play into the schedule of the guys that help us. This weekend we had a funeral too. I do like the O'Connors track prep, they do a great job!

There was no way could finish the feature with a car upside down in the middle of the track in turn 2. Just won't take the risk or chance that's why a one lap Shootout.

Jt that wasn't the first stupid question u ever ask so we are used to it by now.

I'm used to your ways too. Nothing stupid about helping only 2 more guys start the feature and not load them up! My good buddy, Steve Thomas, from Illinois was one of them. Only an extra $310. Think a little about the other teams!

There was 9 scheduled to start..they got extra laps..you should have come up jt.

I do not like starting extra cars. I was at a race at Gas City, before Jiggs. A driver was set to win his first feature and was taken out while he was lapping a car for the second time, junking his car. Those cars that started did not add to the show, they took away from it. It is supposed to be a competition.

Re: Kokomo Updates Here
 

this isn't little league.Not everyone gets a trophy so to speak.

Would've liked to, but had some family obligations and a funeral to attend.

This picture captures all the storylines of last night's race! Cottle biking into the fence while leading, Clauson swinging the bottom, and Grant four above the cush!

Re: Kokomo Updates Here
 

one of the cars eliminated was lapped in the heat and twice in the B. His slowness didnt need to affect the outcome of the feature.

Drivers were told in the meeting 24 cars signed in 3 heats top 5 will transfer to the a main top 2 to the redraw. Rest will go to the B top 5 from B go to the a for a 20 car field.
Nothing against slower cars cause they have to learn and get seat time but jmo with the speeds these guys go around Kokomo in 12-13 seconds I personally don't wanna see anyone get hurt. 9 cars were scheduled to start the b main for 12 laps

Does anyone know where I can find pictures from last night? Thanks!
