“Live” from St Louis 2023

Larry Hill · 10-03-2023, 10:27 AM

Well 89 stockers went down. That was less than I expected. There is a lot more here that didn’t enter this race. I don’t know if there is a ladder or how they will match us up. I will go up and see if there is a sheet.

Thanks, Jim. Appears to be excellent coverage.

Been watching MMTV all morning and was watching the live feeds from everyone waiting to park last night. I really thought there would be 500 cars for this event but, as myself, Ken & Tim, Brian & Lee, Mike Beard have all found out it’s not about the money obviously. I’m sure everyone in line not racing were trying to get a decent parking spot for the weekend. I think I might have seen 9 Comp cars to win $10,000 and two days before they had 25…just baffles my mind.

I think 400 total entries for a single day event, ON A TUESDAY, is pretty dang good and hats off to the promotion team for assuming the risk and having it work for them.

I haven’t heard a total, was trying to keep track but, this work thing keeps getting in the way….lol. Hats off to the team for a good car count, just hope they make out well in the long run. The sponsors are a big help in helping put up those payouts especially when the counts are so-so. I was in that same seat back in July paying out $5,000 to the .90 classes (year before $10k) and had 373 cars for a one day sportsman race at Maple Grove which we all say that count is great but, the rental costs at the venues smack you around in the long run. In the long run we had Super Pro and Pro and they accounted for 1/2 the car count.

Will they post the round winners anywhere? I'm watching but I can't understand the announcer half the time
