So is it too early to start speculating as to whether the mods will get screwed again? I mean the forecast isn't exactly the greatest, and Alex Hoag is in the field again, so I'm thinking the situation is ripe for another shortened race. Anyone else have thoughts on that?

If they shorten the race for the Trucks, there is an outside possibility of TBax doing some jail time.

one of the reasons I did not go this year...

wow... mr. negative... I mean the track IS in New England.... and if you don't like the weather, wait, it will change. There is only a 60% chance of a rain. lol

One might BET that the mods would get screwed, but I am holding out hope that the weather is good from 11-3pm and then whatever the weather wants to do after is fine by me. And not going to comment on the other thing, but lets just keep our fingers crossed that mother nature isn't in a bad mood tomorrow, and some drivers cause many LESS cautions then they usually do. lol

One can almost BET that the mods will get screwed......

And you're calling ME "Mr. Negative"???? I was merely speculating, you're already BETTING! lol

[gomodsgo]

:confused: I have no idea what you are talking about. LOL ha ha ha :angel:

[uticamike]

Pounder, care to splain' the Alex Hoag comment? I mean nicely.

[gomodsgo]

yeah.... let's hear why, nicely!!!!!

[Groundpounder]

At the July race, he caused a few cautions that significantly contributed to the race being shortened. That's all I can say... "nicely".

[uticamike]

I've got mail!!! (which i read.....all splained.......and agreed with) Thank you
Pounder for that (nice) response.

[Groundpounder]

Well, the mods did get screwed again (shortened to 75 laps), but not nearly as bad as the Silver Crown guys got screwed. They should have run the trucks friday night and the BES Saturday. With no live tv hard schedule, they could have got the features started earlier and probably gotten all of them in with the original advertised distances.

As for the racing itself... well, I'm rather disappointed that when I FINALLY get to NHIS, both times the racing has sucked relative to what I've heard about and seen on tv in the past. I will say that after they thinned the herd this weekend there was some pretty good racing with the cars that were left, unlike July. Oh well... the Twin State race is still the best mod race I've seen all year.

[gomodsgo]

SO.... I guess that me offering Utica to tag along with you to NHIS next year is kinda out of the question now? lol

It was a pretty rough race. Too bad too, cause they usually put on a heck of a show there. Damn trouble maker that caused those wrecks. ppfftt

I don't like to speculate without a finish, but if the 2 is disqualified, what will that do to the points race. Matt Hirshman had a bad finish, TC blew a motor, Szegedy may get disqualified, Civali was 6th, and Lia may get 2nd. Would it collectivley be over. I don't know the point totals that are given, RGee could you look into that or is it too much speculation, until Tuesday??

[RGeeProductions]

I have put the sent finish into the database.
The Chrome Horn or LIJam have it updated. As for the change if Szegedy is disqualified, well, have to wait till tomorrow night as to refigure the points isn't easy and the database does it automatically when I enter finishes. Unless they release it today, I won't be home till after 7pm tomorrow then I will immediately update the database.
Right now, with the sent finish, Lia leads Szegedy by 178 and Civali by 298 and Matt by 299 with that finish. Big lead.
If Szegedy sent downward, Lia really has it wrapped up with 3 races to go staying out of trouble.
