Re: How Many Entries for Turkey Night GP?

well, at least I hope there all good cars.

Maybe next year they could add 360 sprint cars, they sure had a bunch of them in AZ, and I know so cal has a bunch of them too.

Not good! They had good car counts the first couple years back on dirt, but must be a sign of the times for Midget racing. Too expensive. Wish it was on Mav TV Live though!

I think a race or two in the week before would have given guys more incentive to go out and run

It is live, personally glad it's not on Mav, I can't get that.

Re: How Many Entries for Turkey Night GP?

I was worried about this when they announced the addition of heats. Your already running a 98 lap race.

While Id agree a friday night race would make it more worthwhile It is also a huge paying race in and of itself and has had great car counts the last couple years.

Go Tracy Hines! Seal that Triple Crown!

I was really surprised at the count. Why does Chili Bowl draw so many & this one only 22? People don't want to beat their cars up for 98 laps?

Keith Kunz team is like 5 Donnie Schatzes. Amazing how Hines could win points title against such a monster team. Congratulations!

biggest reason's my guess was 4 of 5 were off runin other types of Cars/Scheds.!!...Thorson, Rico, Bell,Larson!!..don't know what Kt,Jr was up to or why he lost the POINT LEAD prior to runin Vermeil Classic out West??..I also know I wouldn't ask Keith Kunz either!!..as I did in Pits at Calistoga!!...

Re: How Many Entries for Turkey Night GP?

Lets also not forget that Hines had both a broken collar bone and then broken ribs Was searching for a crew chief right up till seasons started and still won it.

Frankly I was a little surprised he hadn't won the midget championship before hand.

Way to go Tracy! Triple Crown and semi retirement

My guess would be is track size. Perris is a 1/2 mile so unless you have big money you have no chance to win and you have to travel all that way. Chili bowl is in a much more central location and a tiny track.

Good thing the Kunz car's don't run the chili bowl, and the swindell's either for that matter, that way anyone can win!

The Western States midgets have low car counts. The average car count for the 2016 season was about 17. It's the same for all clubs, low car counts.

Low car count, smallish crowd, GREAT racing.

Re: How Many Entries for Turkey Night GP?

So with 5 lookalike cars, why does Kunz have to run two 71s & two 67s???? Very confusing... can anyone see the little letters behind the numbers?

As an announcer, it is not that bad when they are spread apart in the field, but it can get tough when they are all running together and throwing sliders back and fourth.

I enjoyed watching on the Cushion. The cars that were there made for great racing, seemingly every lap there was a slide job at the front of the pack.

Its quality not quantity that makes for a good race, this race had plenty of quality
