Hey L.I. Late Model Racers,
I recently moved here to the Lake Norman Area of North Carolina and Man is the weekly Late Model Racing at the 2 tracks close to my Home awsome. not only do they have amazing purses they have at Hickory raceway a different format than i have ever seen. they have 100 lap 2 tire shows that pay the winner $1000.00 and 4 tire 150 lap shows that pays the winner $1250.00. GoodYear 2602 tires are $129.00, purple Sunoco $5.75 gal, and $25.00 entry with a Nascar license and what a show they put on at Hickory. Then I went with a friend I met here to Concord Motorsport park and it was almost the same, except 100 lapers pay $1500.00 to win and 150 lap pays $2000.00 and almost every weekend show is either 100 or 150 laps. I was totally impressed after all these years seeing the LMs at Riverhead getting $400.00 to 450.00 to win. I was also impressed at the way they move the shows along and the way they enforce the erratic driving by whomever I saw. The points leader at Concord got sent to the rear for rough riding, then he calmed down and finished 4th, so if anyone gets a chance to get down here, bring your cars, it might be worth the trip. The N.C. area is awesome where I am and we are never more than 2 hrs away from any kind of racing we choose to see. I thought I would just share this with you racers from L.I. Thanks Joey C.
Hey Mighty Mike, come visit and bring the car.
