[Precision Auto]

As I seemed to be experiencing technical difficulties with the Live Updates section, I'm going to be posting the Whelen Mod Tour Fall Final race coverage from here........anyone onboard with me yet?

[Modifiedthunder]

Yea sounds good to me

[KickinAsphalt]

I am here as well...

Hello friend.. Long time

[Precision Auto]

I am here as well...

Hello friend.. Long time

Hi KATN.........Whoever lives closest to my house - bring Tequila NOW!!

[Walt]

I'm here. If there is any way I can be of assistance, let me know.

[MOD JUNKIE]

[BOBBY D]

as I Seemed To Be Experiencing Technical Difficulties With The Live Updates Section, I'm Going To Be Posting The Whelen Mod Tour Fall Final Race Coverage From Here........anyone Onboard With Me Yet?

We Are Here Go Girl

[Tooner]

Thanks Linda!

[Precision Auto]

Thanks for the offer of assistance.......I should be okay (just have to think back to Shop Girl and I doing live updates!!).........will be hectic, but should be a fun day and hopefully a safe race for all......

The last I spoke to J.A., the SKs were just about done. Peyton Sellers won a wild Camping World race. Don't know the details, but there was some hair-raising last laps, then alot of consulting between officials......I'm sure it will be posted at a later date.

[cornellsgt12]

Thanks for adjusting to the circumstances - much appreciated.

[modchick]

Just so I'm sure not to miss anything - will I have to refresh my page periodically, or will the updates automatically show up? Thx...

[Walt]

Just so I'm sure not to miss anything - will I have to refresh my page periodically, or will the updates automatically show up? Thx...

I believe that you will have to refresh.
PLEASE, let's be kind to one another and refresh no more than once per minute.

[fattdaddy61]

Just so I'm sure not to miss anything - will I have to refresh my page periodically, or will the updates automatically show up? Thx... Looks Like that is what we are going to have to do. Just had to do it in order to see what else was posted.

[modchick]

I kind of figured that was the case! Thanks guys! Looking forward to a good race. Just wish we were there watching it!

[kinserfan11]

HI :cheers:

[Precision Auto]

SK race is over. Woody Pitkat won the race and Keith Rocco won the championship. Congrats to both.......

Mod Tour wagons are heading out to the infield now. Hopefully we'll go green in 30 minutes, depending on driver introductions, etc.

J.A. and I will only be doing 10 lap reports, unless a caution comes up. So we ask that you refrain from refreshing too many times.......

Back in a few........Linda

[kinserfan11]

Go #16 Mike Stefanik ; get your first win of the season:cheers:

[Jaws]

Hows everyone doing today?

About what time is the start?

[Precision Auto]

Hows everyone doing today?

I'm fine - waiting on my Tequila or chocolate, whichever hits here first :cheers:

Should be getting a call by no later than 4:00 for the start of the race.

Jaws: How are the mini Jaws doing?

[fattdaddy61]

HI :cheers:
Just got the call the cars are on pit road SK race is over and Woody Pitkat won. So should be soon!:applause:

[Jaws]

Jaws Jr. is doing well, we are at my sisters house in Southold and are getting ready to go feed the horses next door.

Waiting for the race!

Not yet - but I haven't given up hope!! :help:

[kinserfan11]

What did everyone think of last weeks race at Chemung Speedrome?:cheers:

[modchick]

Had a great time at Chemung. It's a great facility. I was impressed at how quickly most of the drivers got used to turns 3 & 4. And lets face it - the TC/Flemke show was worth the price of admission. That was a riot! Should be interesting to see how it all plays out... It's always great to see the mods race - especially when its close to home for me!

[Precision Auto]

J.A. has indicated that the race is green - green - green

As the 79 spun around lap 132, he got back up to 14th......we only did the unofficial Top 10.....I'm assuming he's somewhere around 15th......you'll have to wait for the official finish to come out........sorry I couldn't get you more info........J.A.'s batteries went dead just as we were saying goodbye....

[Bob T. Racer]

Nice job Linda !!!:applause:

GREAT JOB by everyone who put this all together!!!!

[RGeeProductions]

Thank you soooo much Linda for helping out today.
Some small notes.
Christopher leading Camper World and taken out.
Christopher leading SK race and taken out.
Beginning of tour race, Stefanik and Christopher pulled away from the field. After pit stops, Christpher really had no oomph to move up to the leaders. Stefanik, Hirschman, Preece and Hossfeld pretty much had field covered.
Preece ended up off the pace and parked it.
Blewett also hit the infield and parked it.
Beers also ran well.
Smooth race overall, mucho freight train...
More info later when JA gets home..............
I won't be home till 10:30-11!!!
This bus needs wings....TED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kinserfan11]

When will the final results be posted?:D

[mikel 3]

I just arrived home from stafford after watching a pretty good wmt race .congrats to the 16 gang on a well deserved win.The sk feature was the most pathetic race that I have ever seen .there were only 13 caution flags for a40 lap feature,how wonderful.If this is the tracks best division for the weekly racing series the track should hang their heads in shame.I have been going to modified races for over forty years and all I can say is thank god for the WMT.As for the SKs shame on you.

[RichKeator]

it just seems like our sks always do this... whenever they race on a big weekends like Spring sizzler or fall final they fall apart... for our die hard fans at SMS, you know that there was a stretch in july august where they put on some good shows, just too bad they get the black eyes when the tour fans come in and all they see is a wreck fest... maybe they just can't race without the lights on or something...

[Jaws]

RGee I forgot about the bus!

Jaws Jr. wants to know if he won the pool? :wave:

Next week at Thompson should be great, who needs a chase!

Again thanks for the updates, I got to check on 3 different computers in 3 different places.

WHy was my last post deleted?

Because there were 2 posts for the finish and just needed the drivers run down with no other info.
Get rid of the fire face Jeff.

[Sicklajoie]

All those cats in the SK race that spin and sit there waiting for the yellow to come out then mysteriously pull away when it does come out should be parked, period. Not put down a lap or 3 laps, but parked.
No excuse for ruining a race for everyone else because of someone's own selfishness.

Honestly, that should be in any class, not just SK.

[Sicklajoie]

Honestly, that should be in any class, not just SK.
True, I hate it when it happens anytime, but it occurred a lot with the SK's today.
And Stafford has to get rid of that STUPID lucky dog rule for their weekly divisions. One guy got a 3 lap penalty early in the race for intentionally bringin out a yellow, and wound up finishing 6th.

[W. J.]

Honestly, that should be in any class, not just SK.
Oh yeah, a rule like that would re-fire more 'stalled cars' than a Die-Hard battery!!!
