txtom Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Seeing several Snowflake entries that used to run the SLMs-- Pollard, Senter, etc. Still going to see two stout fields of Late Models, I think the PLM last chance race is going to be a wild one.

Snowball Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 They still have the Supers, but they elected to do the Snowflake . Probably a $$$ decision.............? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I agree that the pro's are groing, but the Supers had one of their strongest years in a long time in the South East. The Blizzard series averaged over 30 cars per race. Opp had strong fields except for the Alabama 200 which was a new race. Mobile did well with counts in the Mid 20's. The PASS South series had between 25 and 30 cars for most of their races. We will be having the new ASA Super Latemodel series next year.The new sealed motors by McGunnegil and Hamner have helped too. They are still expensive, but about half the price of the built motors. I think Supers will be OK hopefully. I hate that they have died in Texas! They used to be pretty strong over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the supers to don't get me wrong.They are still strong in the southeast but thats it.Out on the east coast(where the super counts used to be good) the LM stocks have takin over and they run crates.

Snowball Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 They are strong in the Midwest too. The new ASA Midwest tour had between 50 and 60 at most of their races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they make a comeback!!! There are 2 of them setting in the shop and the closest place for us to go race them is OPP or MIS!!!!To me there is not enough of a difference in the lap times to justify the extra cost,but there is nothing better than to hear a 600+H.P. motor come to life and scream around the track.

Snowball Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The Supers pass alot easier. Sometimes the Pro's do too much follow the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery Motorhead Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 The last I heard is that the new ASA Southeast Series has not decided if they are going to run SLM's or PLM's in that series. Have they decided yet what they are going to do? Has anyone heard for sure?............I surely hope it will be the Super Late Models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted November 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 On the Five Flags site, there are 17 entered, but that doesn't mean anything. last year there were 20 pre entered, and 56 showed up. There isn't much need to enter early for the other divisions. the latemodels enter early to make sure they get a parking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debwill Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Here's the weather forecast for the upcoming Snowball events: It looks like the weather will be good overall - but chilly at night. We're leaving on Wednesday evening. As I mentioned, I have media credentials and will try to keep y'all posted on TSZ. I can't believe the Snowflake 100 already has 89 entries. It looks like the starting field is only 38, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it stays in the 40's as night, that is better than usual. And with the starting classs for the PLM around 36-38, they are going to have one heckuva B main. Or maybe two of them. And the Supers will have a wild one, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Deb, The list on the Five Flags site still has some drivers listed that will not be running for various reasons. the list on here has those drivers deleted...........Still, 82 Snowflake and 67 Snowball is plenty! LOL There will still probably be a few more before it's all said and done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacecar Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I don't trust that forecast. It's always been so cold on the Friday nite and Saturday nite Derby races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtom Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 And Weather.com has a completely different forecast for next week. It will all change on a daily basis bewtwwen now and when we all get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 As always, txtom, I shop around all of the weather websites until I find the one I like! LOL So, Pacecar, if it's gonna be so cold, you'll understand it if I load up the Suburban with lots of stuff?? And, Snowball, the schedule shows that the top 30 qualifiers are locked in for the Snowflake, and then two qualifying races are scheduled (25 laps each), with the top three advancing to the Snowflake - may only be 36 total. So, the odds are about 50% of the registered drivers to advance to the Snowflake - YIKES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowball Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Ther will be two provisionals as well based on track Pro latemodel points for a total of 38. Same goes for the Snowball. There will be alot going home unfortunately, but that's what makes it the Snowball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Lake Race Fan Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Addition to above forecast based on experience: 40 mph wind out of the North - Windchill factor -20. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vir Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 If the weather is like that, I will beat you up and take your Artic gear you always bring, and don't tell me it wouldn't fit. Looks like Thursday night will again be the coldest. Sounds like Sunday afternoon should be great racing weather. Debwill come by and say hello. We sit at the top of the last aisle in turn 4. You can't miss us. Just look for the ugly red headed guy, and you will find Snowball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I'll look for y'all, Vir - looking forward to meeting y'all! Our reserved seats are in the temporary grandstands near Turn 1 - in Section I, Row 14, Seats 17 & 18. I'll also be hanging around the media tent.

Montgomery Motorhead Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 There are enough PLM's entered to run two 100 lap races and still have cars that would not make the race. What a heck of a show that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
