We've got a ton of bullrings out west that do reward a pretty aggressive style.  Some of the big track guys that are accustomed to the Knoxville, PA type of tracks might have a little tougher time adjusting to the small joints while the Westerners might have a rougher night at the big tracks.  With the current quality of the racing all over the country and a lot of young fearless drivers that haven't bled yet, just a tick off is the diffrence between a big win and a mid-pack finish in a consi. Everyone, well no one else, is Larson.

Whats the deal with the Gold Cup race?

Why are several drivers driving different cars than usual?



410 drivers cherry picking a 360 race as usual. Any time there's an extra dime for the 360 guys, the cherry pickers come out in droves. I didn't see anything dirty in the move that netted Sanders the win. It wasn't some crazy, reckless, bonzai  slider where he punted Larson out of the park. Larson got out of shape from the lapper enough to give Sanders room to drive between them. Larson tried to battle back on the outside and Sanders held his line and didn't lift. That's racing. FWIW I think every big name 410 driver should be ashamed of themselves, especially a 2 time Knoxville Nationals champion and nascar star. There's a big limited late model race coming up at Port Royal. I wonder if Kyle has a ride.

we do not have a ton of winged 410 racing out here in California. In fact, there are no weekly 410 tracks In NorCal. NARC is the 410 touring group. It's very common for all of the top 410 guys to fill out their schedules with winged 360 shows on a weekly basis. It's not considered cherry picking for the local 410 guys to run 360 shows.  Touring guys jumping in? Yeah, maybe
