FYI. Just got an update from Smitty. I know none of you really care about the POSSE cars, so I'll letcha know what I can about the circus crew. $13.00 again tonight to get in and see this show.

Dollansky started 9th (handicapping begins this week at Lincoln) in the heat race and finished 2nd. The dude is on a rail and came to PA this weekend to make some money!!

I'm sure someone will give you the results later. 34 410's in the pits tonight.

........also ran.............Saldana qualified in his heat, but did not make the invert (top 12) for the feature. I believe Kemanah Q'ed as well, but did not make the invert. Kahne looked tight in his heat race, the car was pulling wheel stands on exit..............started 9th and did not advance. My grill is ready to accept a steak, the bottle of wine is open, I'm out!!

not to take anything away from Dollansky but it seems that three cars that run very well dropped out of the race, being Leppo, Montieth, and Dewease. Still a very good run though, the track must be very good tonight

Drak, it's not that we don't care about the posse cars. I just think that the majority of the board is tired of the chest beating and the all the crap that goes on all of the time from both sides. I hope you guys have a great race in posse land today and I know that you guys will enjoy it. Nothing else really matters. Thanks for the updates.

Kind of like the threads that start up on here to bash PA even when there is rainout, right? LOL Or the gem that started up only minutes after last night's race was over. There were some Outlaws at Lincoln last week, when Rahmer won, and the board was quiet all week.

Understood Slave................it's all good.

Dollansky starts 12th.

Lincoln showed respect and offered Kasey a PROVISIONAL starting spot in the feature. Kasey, being the classy dude he is, refused and visited in V-lane with track announcer Harper and told the PA fans that he may be back to race at the WoO Summer Natty's. Apparently it is an off week for Napping in Sprint Cup...............we'll see. Props to KKR for towing in.

Lap 1 incident, Kemanah on his lid for a spinning Darrah, etc. Red flag.

Yes single. It would be nice if we could all act the age that our driver's liscences say we are around here for a change. The company that I've spent the last 10 years bustin' my ass for just told us that they're closing the doors in 60 days. I won't be making it to many races this year or atleast in the foreseeable future. This place will be my only source of info for most of the season. I don't think it's too much to ask the drama queens around here to cool it for awhile.

This doesn't apply to everyone around here by the way. There are some great folks that post in here. There are just a few that feel the need to piss on everyone elses parade all the time.

...

All cars involved (Darrah, Kemenah, Wintermeyer) rejoin the field for a restart.

Lap 2 red flag for Lafferty. Rick, is OK.

Rahmer, started 20th, is already around Saldana and behind Esh (started 10th??). Ya'll need to come to Lincoln just once to see a weekly show!! My bad for not being there tonight.

I am very sorry to hear you are losing your job, Power. I have no idea what your situation is but if you have the opportunity to go back to school through TRA, take it. I was almost 30 until I finished my bachelor's degree, and it was the best thing I ever did in my life. When I was going to school, the classes were loaded with people that had put 15-20 years or longer into a company, only to have the place close. If you are eligible for retraining through TRA, that really is a great deal. The government will pay for everything and you can collect unemployment for two years.

Much respect to Dollansky. To finish top 5 at Lincoln starting 12th makes a statement to me. Good day to all.

Thanx to Smitty for the info.

Not enough cautions for Dollansky to pass all the bombers starting in front of him from row six. J/K Slightly different starting 12th than on the pole in the heat and feature. Makes it all the more amazing Rahmer has won all the Lincoln races he has coming from 12th nearly every night. Much respect to Dollansky, Saldana and Kemanah going to Lincoln Saturday night after Port Royal canceled their opener.

Great run for Ryan Taylor. He started out at the Modified track closest to my home and really did not have any success in Modifieds. Believe Ryan Taylor is 20 or 21 years old, but he never had a top five in the Mods. I couldn't believe he moved to the 410 Sprints after not setting the world on fire in a Modified. Good for him, keeping Dollanksy and Rahmer behind him to finish third.

i could not believe they raced! that had to be a cold one. im about 65 miles from there and woke up to over 3 inches of snow and it didnt get above 40 all day.sounded like some really good runs put in from the rear . did they have a good crowd for the way the weather was?

I'd love to hear some of the Mark Smith apologists explain how he gets a pass on what he did two two drivers two nights in a row ?!?! WTF ? Come on, driving Ryan Bohlke up into the wall on Friday night was bad enough but then to drive John Westbrook up into the Lincoln turn four wall so blatantly tonight ? And the officials just give him a pass. No lost spots. Nothing ?

I can tell you the turn four officials were asking everyone of us photographers if we got it on film/memory card because they wanted to do something about it. He's a great driver. He doesn't need to be pulling that sort of crap.

So Dollansky started 9th in his heat and ran 2nd????? thats a plus 7 in my books. Then he started 12th in the A-main and ran 4th? That's another plus 8 where I come from. And you PA people and fans (BRR and more) want to bitch that the WoO guys CAN'T pass ca rs? To me it looks like this guy came into PA and put on a clinic this past weekend. Wouldn't you agree? How did the local hero do against him two nights in a row (Anyone remember Fred?) Seems like the crowd pleaser did exactly what his name says.......please the crowd. Not to mention this guy is NOT a regular and grew up running Knoxville. Give the guy 30 laps and it sounds like he would have made it a clean sweep for the weekend. Yep, one of the local PA guys got one this weekend, and great for them. From the results I have seen, looks like the WoO will still win any day, any way. Argue all you want, change the rules, whatever you want. Dollansky ruled PA this weekend straight up!

P.S. If you wanna tell me that Fred was better than Dollansky tonight because he started further back, then tell me why he couldn't pass the crowd pleaser with over 20 laps to go? I realize Fred got to start behind a bunch of shitboxe's, caught Craig, but couldnt pass him. If you want to look at the overall picture, I'd say Craig is ten time's the driver as Fred as Craig made the invert. What the hell was Fred's problem?

Maybe's he's still mad about getting T-Smacked at Volusia.

dirtracer84, I've just got to say this. You are the god and truest wisdom of all there is in sprint car racing. I never would have realized how foolish the fans in PA were for even showing up at the track tonight. I'm gonna use this here intarwebs thingy to email all of the track pro motors in PA and tell'em not to skejull a race unless them wiruld uf owtlah guys are far far a way and da timparachur aint at least 85 dugrease.

Infact, just to honor the wisest people on this board, I'm going to change my screen name to dirtMSPowerslave84. I hope that I can be as smart as you guys when I grow up and hit 40 in a few years.
