The season is getting late, what will we see?

Well so far it's stomp and steer slot cars, little passing on a heavy track with the cushion only half way up. Yawn...time for bed.

A

Aaron Reutzel interview has been the highlight of the night so far.

Dale Jr. being there taking it all in is a pretty big deal. 

Wow what a race, tricky track. 

Agreed. Pretty good race but certainly a rough and technical track!

Amazing Race!!  Larson and Sweet battling for many laps with Rico charging and Gravel taking it at the end.  Lernerville delivers with a Great show!!

I watched on Flo but great racing betwwen Kyle and Brad who both jumped the cushion handing the top spots to Rico and Gravel.Good when the best are there and track isnt rubber down or so fast no one can pass,. Larsons save and spin and win in heat were both pretty cool.Better crowd on Tuesday as many Sat regular events.

Larson is human, but even when he makes a mistake he is spectular. That was one hell of a save, and did not trash a car. Gravel played it right and got lucky  that Larson, Sweet and Rico all had hick-up.

So I take it High Limit doesn't have a 360 rule?

Save of the night had to be Justin Sanders in heat race #2 as he was leading by A LOT.  Going into 1, Justin ducked low to pass a slower car, clipped the inside berm and spun the car at a very slow rate.  It appeared like the car was just about to sputter to a stop when he got it going and was still able to win the heat.  The crowd reaction in the stands was priceless as they knew that they witnessed a memorable moment to say the least!!

No

I wondered the same and found out later.

That was not a save and had absolutly nothing to do with driver skill. First it was luck that it didn't get upside down and then that it didn't stall out as slow as it was going at the end. Sanders wrecked it two times last night all by himself and got lucky one time. It seems that maybe Daddy's money wasn't winning all those races afterall as some seem to think. Three drivers since and one win because someone with a big lead broke to show for it since the split.

Well if you didn't enjoy that race then you definitely are not a fan of good racing. 59 cars to start the night. Tuesday crowd, eldora, top that.  New track record that some thought would never be broken again. Yea the heats were racing were you had to jump cars on the starts. Fast, Fast, Fast track. Strawman, I hope you saw that one. Technical feature, that curb got some of the best in the business in both corners. The sprint car guys are racing for a lot of dollars in the next month, why more outlaws were not at lernerville is puzzling. 50k lernerville, 75k national open, 60k tusky, high limit at bridgeport. Lernerville, great job, great job.

Hmm, the last part of your response shows the history of the car in the last couple months has perhaps influenced your perception of what is luck and what is skill.  Sorry, but I don't let who owns the car, who drives the car or how many wins the car has in the past influence my thoughts on what is skill and what is luck.

Great show

Will be really interesting to see what HL looks like in '24

And yeah I thougth the Sanders 360 had a certain fair measure of skill to it 

If  you think he or anyone else in that situation is going back to pits and explain with a staight face what they did to bring that one back down Ok. And yea I know you can turn into it and that will sometimes do it but that was luck.

Justin Sanders spins and wins in a heat race, that was amazing!!

Was an awesome save, crowd loved it, great job getting it righted for sure. 

I did not see him do a 360! in the A!  How about Sanders?

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...
