Still running hot laps right now. Good field of Street Stocks and SUS Sprints. Also joining in on the fun tonight are IMCA Modified and Limited Mods. Race results are Unofficial and commentary is based on my observations from the stands and no contact with track officials at any time.

Leaving Corpus now and I know it'll be fun. That ASCS night was a freak thing and know it was a North wind. Strong SE winds this evening, grandstands should be great and trust me, no complaints on track prep. See ya in about two hours. Even bringing the fiance up for her first Sprint show so we're hyped.

Will we need safety glasses again for the dust??? Lol j/k wind should be blowing away from the stands tonight but unless Jay is coming, I'll be happy to do live updates from TRP tonight.

Yes, a lot of the technology advances have also been the downfall. How many times have we seen it here, "keyboard warriors" so to speak and even in a racing conflict, people air issues out in public and expect the other party to give in to their will. Long gone, for the most part, are the days of taking the other party aside and discussing the issue and trying to come up with a mutually beneficial solution. Now it's "so and so screwed me over they owe me this or we won't deal with them and you shouldn't either." But that's a common mentality in a lot of areas.

Very cool. I remember when ESPN had Thursday Night Thunder and featured USAC Sprints quite often. Loved watching them at IRP. One day I'd like to see one of their shows in person. Always cool to see different races in different regions and new tracks.

It sucks in my lifetime, only one event truly galvanized our country, and it was through tragedy. 9-11, less than 20 years later, America has a "you owe me" mentality. Not working for what you want, not a sense of national pride (generally speaking), it's ok to be separated yet lumped together, people lost gender identity, political opposition is no longer civil. Disagreements are ugly, hateful and without compromise. Agreements are reinforced by hating the other side. I hope we do experience another "man on the moon" moment and we can regain the pride, the civility and unity again, and not through a tragedy. Not to dive into the politics, but it does seem to be more divided than ever, or at least in the past 50-75 years. Despite the flaws in this country, it's still the greatest place to be.

Chuck is right though about the amount of kids and early teens riding around in the pits with no gear. The pits can be pretty dark after the races are over, add in cars going out for hot laps and the fans mingling it's alarming to see that amount of young ones on these things unprotected. Good job Chuck, Christina, Scott and Steve for addressing the issue in a productive way.

Glad you liked it, we have 4 of the best tracks in our little area, Cotton Bowl in Paige, Texas, I37 in Pleasanton, South Texas Speedway in Corpus, and of course TRP in Edna. All have their own little charms and I have nothing but positive things to say about all 4 in my personal experiences at each. Not sure where you are located, but for me, all these tracks are 3 hours or less from me.

HiTech, you just nailed how to win on a short track. Sure, put that high dollar motor in your car, but if you can't get it to turn, doesn't mean much. The cars that win a lot are cars that handle well. As a driver, I'd rather be able to carry moderate speed and maintain through the corners rather than haul ass down the straights and stop in the turns. The other trick is too be able to run a groove no one else can. Growing up at CC and near Greg, I remember him being able to win several races by being able to use the outside line, more recently, Josh and Gary were successful running the high line. Not too many DQ at the tech pad that I can remember and this was when everyone used DOT tires and basically, stock shocks you can get at Auto Zone or O'Reilly. From what I have seen the past couple of years, most of the DQ are coming on suspension parts, body rules, and a few compression or carburetor issues, but mostly suspension and body and the occasional weight infraction.

Yeah and usually wear uniforms with "Code Enforcement" on the sleeves.

Not sure how that mall is set up but maybe there's some room available to park them near the entrance if they won't fit?

Sounded like an interesting night to say the least. LSSZ has one of the highest pay rates in the state lol. I think I'd get in trouble if I looked for an intern lol. Thanks for what you do Reb, didn't get to go so was nice to keep up on here/Facebook.

Did they start late?

All 3 times I've seen them I struggled. Most of the time I used Nick's announcements and recognized a few of them but that lead group was hard to follow with the slide jobs and inside outs they were pulling.

No problem and thanks for the compliments. I know on the nights I'm at STS and Jay is at I37, I'm bouncing back and forth to his reports too. If I'm at an event he's at, I let him take over. I've had other tracks offer up lineups and such when I visit them too since I'm not familiar with everyone. Now STS has live scoring on their websites that helps when DCRST or POWERi or ASCS comes in and I don't know all of the drivers. That was my third time seeing POWERi so I recognize a few names. It's hard to see numbers on them though so again, thank you to the STS scorekeepers that can track them without the use of transponders. They pull a lot of speed in those 600s and they're racy. I'm glad people actually reads these and will continue to do them at any track I'm at, unless Reb is there, read his.
