Kokomo 5-22
 

Funny how there hasn't been anyone asking for updates but yet that feature was absolutely bonkers, Kokomo continues to be THE BEST dirt track in Indiana and plus outta there by 9pm

well what is the run down

Kt Jr. In a photo finish over cottle and coons

I agree the best sprint car racing in Indiana.

I'm ashamed to admit that I was a little too tired to journey up there after a long few days at IMS. Hoping to be back next week for the latter half of the double, and I'll definitely be there for midget week.

Thanks for the information. I relocated from Kokomo to NC for work...missing the Sunday night action. My only visit will be for Smackdown, can't wait.

Well tonight was a case where it would be nearly impossible to recap this race. There was so much action all evening long and to end it with a feature like that one, Reeserx really is right, It Was Totally Bonkers !! I leave the place thinking I just robbed a bank, getting to watch a feature like that for 12 bucks. :8:

Re: Kokomo 5-22
 

who won

KTjr. Is on a roll. What a combo he and the 4j team is turning out to be.

Hated to see CJ Leary act like a little kid & act like that. I was always hoping that he would be better than that. From my perspective Andretti ran him clean. To make matters worse it was in a heat race. And shame on his crew member that threw the sucker punch ! Definitely bad press for the Dutcher team.

Happy to hear the perspective was clean racing.I'm guessing,like usual,people will have different perspectives.I agree about the crew member.for one,let the drivers and officials work out disagreements.for two,takes a real coward to get involved and throw a sucker punch.Sounds like more than one of them has some growing up to do.

From what I seen from the stands it looked more clean than dirty to me. That said, either way one was going to finish 3rd, one was going to finish 4th in that heat in which only the top 2 were in invert positions. A bit of a risky move by Jarett perhaps but that said, it's racing, you're out there to get every position possible and if you're not...then why are you racing?

As far as the racing goes...wow! Kokomo did not disappoint once again. 3 wide racing all over the place and after a late caution the battle between Cottle and Thomas at the end was wild.

So be it. i disagree it was clean, he did it to the 34 car 2 laps previous. But "Karmaa" got him. he pounded the 2nd turn wall as was a DNF. He got what he deserved,

Just torture me. We went to Butler Saturday Night to watch SOD. Butler ran four classes and SOD was third. We left at Lap 1 of the SOD feature during a lengthy red flag. When we got in the car it was 1:11 a.m. The modifieds that run there just chew up the time with their spins and stops. No spin rule in heats or mains.

Like GYATK94, I was too tired to go to Kokomo Sunday.

It takes 2 and when you come to the end of your rope something needs to be said & I have a different opinion on this matter because things are not always clear, so I think it needs to be said enough is enough. Tammi L

This was Klassic Kokomo!!! The feature was utterly amazing!! When KT pounded the wall with three to go in turn one we thought it was over for him. But he stomped on the gas, threw it up against the cushion and pounded the heck out of the cushion and passed Shane Cottle by inches at the line for the win!!! That race is why a fan goes out week after week to watch the most exciting sport in the world. Twelve dollars was indeed a steal so GYATK soon for the best racing in Indiana and probably in the country. Congrats to KT who is on a roll, Cottle for a tremendous race, Jerry Coons Jr. in an impressive run, Chris Windom who has the Baldwin Brothers orange crate running great and Dave Darland who made one mistake and went from second to fifth in the last six laps. That might show you how close the racing was last night. And even the super stocks come out afterwards and run 25 competitive laps non-stop. Hope we can find a video of this one to buy as it would be one to watch and watch and watch some more. It was that good!!! :D:5::6::6::6::8::9::9::10:

Bruce and Pat Eckel

When you are at the end of your rope there's a big difference between saying something and sucker punching a guy. Would like to see these youngsters "talk" like that to Bob Kinser , Hewitt, or Gaines. There's no room for violence in our sport.

Wow! You obviously weren't there. You need to get your facts straight. The Dutcher crew weren't even back from the grandstands yet while this discussion between the drivers was going on. If any cheap shots were thrown, it wasn't from the 17 crew.

Mike I can only tell you what my eyes seen & my phone recorded. If that want a crew member I'm not sure what he is. But he was in your pits all night. God bless you all

Re: Kokomo 5-22
 

If you left Butler before 1:30 you missed a whale of a sprint car finish. (Check out youtube)

The Butler modified feature was beyond description. I would post video of it, but the mayhem and poor calls made from the tower would just make someone mad.

I was too tired to go to Kokomo too .......

Re: Kokomo 5-22
 

Fish do you have the mod feature from butler on youtube by chance? i wanted to see the last lap when Lolmaugh got taken out by that dipshit

Re: Kokomo 5-22
 

He sure did get taken out. And then they gave the win to the guy who took him out and never even crossed the finish line! (And then took it away from him when he didn't make weight.) Before that they put Bevard to tail for rough driving when the #37 was all over the track for a complete lap, then came up in front of Bevard, who hit him.

I have the video but don't think I want to post anything from that race! :47:

Let's see that video.

Re: Kokomo 5-22
 

For all of the Butler banter..... let's not hijack this Kokomo thread. I started a Butler thread pertaining to the night in question. I think it would be appropriate to move it there, starting with SOD feature video.

"Hope we can find a video of this one to buy as it would be one to watch and watch and watch some more. It was that good!!!"

Jackslash has an excellent video of this race on his website.

Doesn't seem video is necessary."somebody"and the driver from a team entered another pit area and started an altercation and threw sucker punch.(over something that didn't cause neither driver to wreck or not be able to finish).entering into another pit area and fighting is against the rules.wrong is wrong

[quote=410racer;446420]Might recheck the definition of "karma".someone wrecking into a wall isn't justification for racing with questionable moves,without wrecking someone else.

I will say, I have seen people get involved in an altercation post race for no other purpose, or so it seems, but than to just be involved.

For instance last year in pits during the Smackdown when two notable teams clashed there were people involved that didn't even have a clue what was going on. Or at the Chili Bowl a few years back when Swindell approached Larson after Rico won his first Driller and all the sudden people come running in and yelling when all Swindell was doing was talking to Larson, wasn't even a big deal.
