"Live From" SGMP D2 LODRS

Thanks Ken for posting the Q sheets. DRC will post them at some point.

It is good to see Casey Miles there with his AWESOME Camaro. He is qualified at .481 under with a licensed street legal stocker. How cool is that??? The interview that Bobby did at the Baby Gators was very cool and I found out more info about that car. Original Baldwin Chevrolet car - COOL.

Hey guys, we are done for the day, everyone got 1 round in. Rain should be here soon, and its supposed to rain tomorrow with temps dropping into the 50's for the highs. First round for Super Stock was not good. Cars that never have traction issues could not get a hold of the track. I'm not sure about Stock... but for me it was ugly, I spun right off the hit. I hope this is not what I have to look forward to for the rest of the season. We spoke to the director, I hope they can get a handle on it for future races.

I have photos for Stock and Super Stock, and will post them tomorrow.

This race was poorly run, the track is **** and they know it, how embarrassing for them and Cody Savage should be ashamed, I will never come back, and I deeply regret claiming Div 2 points this year, what a joke this place is

Track was terrible, 5 cars in a row blew the tires away in the R lane

Thank you for the kind words. I broke something in the engine again. Hoping for the new bullet soon.

Its not like they didn't know how to prep track. Q1 was flawless. Yet bcuz of "the interest in time with inclement weather pursuing" no further preps were initiated. Historically Division Directors would see an unsafe track where traction had gone away and stopped things to reprep. This was not done. The last car Cody Phillips spun so bad, he hit the rev limiter skated both ways and got out of it. Tons of cars spinning and and 3-4 tenths off their dial ins. Very Egregious managing.
Learned this at the Baby's with SuperStock round one! The dew fell and FEW people could see to drive. It was obvious malfeasance after the 1st few cars left. After SS was over they announced dew had fallen and too dangerous. Trust me, the dew fell before the round. Again, malfeasance and luckily Noone hurt.
Retrospectively the mentality seems to "get the race over with regardless of SAFETY and fairness to competitors. Definitely a whalewagon race to win. No Way the tower wasnt letting things progress in less than a conscienous manor.
