The track was nice and everyone seem to like it. The 07 broke a steering box.

What's up with that 67 SS never letting up on the 36k?



The 67 never letting up? Look at how the cars are parked on the wall, 67 was always infront of the 36k. That kid pushed them half way down the stretch up the wall and judging by how fast his tires were still spinning he was hoping to make it out to Childs Ave.... You could hear the 36k car laying his foot into it whole time... You also heard the 67 hit the gas a couple times, probly hoping it would get that kid off him.


Show was fun though. I too loved how they kept that program running fast. Track is going to need quite a bit, but I would bet Tom is probly out there already working it. Big difference after that farming session. He knocked down alot of the dust. Obviously still not a great track but much better then it started. That entrance needs work, bad. Its too hard to come on the track over there cause you cant see. Flag man so busy telling the car entering to stop, he forgets the throw a green till the last second.

Still great to see racing back at Merced, hopefully get some clay into that track and they can get it racey......

Dude I was just getting on here to say the same thing about the 67-36  crash,Ray don't know which race your were watching ,but I just seen the video and the 67 and the 4 got into it ,turning the 67 into the wall and along comes 36 wide open hits him stays in the throttle all the way down the wall. ????? Then Hannah is out in the pits throwing a tantrum pointing the finger at the 67 he needs to chill out.

It was a tough weekend with the HEAT.  Antioch was a dust bowl but did take some rubber with the 410's running.  Glad to see everyone being honest but positive on this thread.  I'm happy you guys having a track back up and running.  First nights are always a bit difficult but good car count and many quality drivers from all classes.  
Take Care,

thought the action made up for any 1st night mishaps. hope 4 bangers got squared away in the pits cause i think the guy that took the checkered was 3rd or 4th at best.all classes had tight racing 15 mod on a trailer would have made for better mod race but the outcome wasnt affected luckily.thought raulie might have made for a good battle in hobbies if 38 wasnt all over the place and just in the way. i give em a 9.short track kept it exciting. no lights and same old flagman and nobody got destroyed mabe a 10.

Well i think the night went OK i should have worked the track before the streeters heats and maybe the top of the track before the Mod main. The track does still need some work on 2&4 and that will alll be fixed very soon As far as the crew i think they did a great job and ran a very tight and fast program.

"thought raulie might have made for a good battle in hobbies if 38 wasnt all over the place and just in the way"...HMMMMM Well Scott, idk if u had ur eyes open or not..but im pretty sure 38 lead the first half of the main after multiple restarts..haha i guess anybody could have passed me then if they were so much faster huh? ..oh thats right i was leading. Hats off to the 55 and 01M they drove a good race and finished strong...maybe it looks different in the drivers seat but I was hangin with Shane until Raulie got between the two of us. Well no need to debate, Wheres your car at Scottie Boy..Come show everybody how its done. Or will You just get in the way?

hey ryan we all had a good run.  when its dry slick like that its hard for anyone to keep the car straight. i know my car stepped out from under me a few times coming out of turn 4 but luckily i was able to save it. i know towards the end of the race i slowed down a little because i had fluid pouring out over the right rear wheel from the axle seal so it was making it VERY hard to keep the car from spinning out. all i could do was pretect the bottom line. i know you were faster than me but i wasnt givin up any positions if i didnt have to lol. i denfinitely had fun racing with you, shane, and shannon and it was too bad larimers car broke because i know he would have been up in the mix too. i dont think im racin this weekend we are makin some changes to the car but i cant wait to race with all you guys again.

ryan u were in the way when u were leading and i believe raulie is politicing u were all over the place. try lifting,mabe have someone film the 01 or 14 compare that to the video of yourself and you will understand.your car is faster than the 01 no question only thing slowin that car down was ur lead foot.

tom i agree things went pretty good concidering some of the unknown problems.
not having the signal light was very un fortunate. the on track flagmen had to wait for the yellow by the main flagman which meant some racing back to the stripe when the push truck already had the lights flashing when the feild went down the th back stretch. some things like that and the sun being so heavily in the driver eyes when going into 3 during the main, were just things that came up and had to be dealt with. maybe next race if you are able to start at 5 the extra 30 min will help the vision of the racers. that is not a slam just yhe show did start a little behind sched. things flowwed very well and even the down time to work the track went very quick. and as far as the signal lamps what can i say, STUFF happens. great job to john,tom and all those that run the show. we know that you saw what all the racers saw and will work at improving what you have the ability and time to improve.

I hope they put some more clay back into the track so the fans in the lower stands do not keep getting covered in dirt .That was the main thing I think people will have a problem with other than that I thought that the racing was very good and program ran relatively smooth. I am going to bring out my sport mod this weekend and give it a try hopefully there will be a good car count for this class . Also when I raced chow. last race in the sport mods the payout did increase some so hopefully the class keeps growing then it will get bigger payouts

Wasn't there so can't comment on track conditions, but will say it has to be tough with your first race starting in the afternoon in July. Sounds like they did a great job for first race of the season.
