toyotatim Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 The Snowball Derby did away with live pits stops and it appears that there will be less cars entering. The number that qualified and the current entry number are identical now. A there are usually a few less than the number that pre entered. It is difficult to say if this helped or hurt things. It does take an element out of the race that everyone enjoys. There may have been less entries if they did not do away with it, who knows, but thought that it was interesting that there were not more cars entered. I like the live pit stops but would not like having to pay for them. LOL But you do see many teams use their own guys. Ty Majeski would probably have at least two wins without live stops.

toyotatim Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I found it somewhere. There were 54 entries and 47 took qualifying times last year. Lets see how it plays out. On Facebook, they all say they would go if they did away with the stops. Edited December 2, 2019 by toyotatim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHigdon Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I'm confused Tim, there are more entries this year and on top of that a few more TX guys, is your position that FEWER drivers are present this year or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) The point is, the number up until this point are slightly higher than last year and a large amount less than 2017 . On Facebook, they all blamed the live pit stops for not coming last year. Not a lot of difference so far and way behind 2017. What I am saying is, there is lots of racing on Facebook that never happens. They are all fast on Facebook. For only a couple more cars, i would rather see the live pit stops. Now if it were to get the car count back in the upper 60's, I can understand not having them. Edited December 3, 2019 by toyotatim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatim Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Eventful first night of racing. The top 2 trucks got dq'd for motors and the 3rd place guy too much left side. Awesome man, I wonder how many didnt get caught because they were not up front? I'll bet they were not the only two motor cheaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatim Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 It looks like about 10 more Super Late Models than last year, but I think this is the best field ever. The last chance race is an all star race. Whats up with these guys doing these slide jobs and expecting someone to lift? Bickle expected the kid to lift but he didnt. I dont think I would have lifted either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 That deal with Bickle and Hocevar was identical to two guys earlier this year at Five Flags Speedway in the very same spot. At some point, enough is enough and when they come across your nose, you just dont lift. That is what the fans love to watch, the drama of metal crunching and tempers flaring.
