What I find interesting.......Who went forward and who went backwards in the feature. Seems WoO did better. Imagine that? Now......Who has more experience on this track?

It was "drama at the scales" not "trauma". Trauma would mean someone got ran over or something. My dad knew Keel back in the day. Said his cars used to have holes all over the place to cut weight. Holes in the seat, and holes all over the place. He was obsessed with cutting weight, so it doesn't surprise me that it happened last night. It was a shame though. I would have liked to see a fellow central new yorker get a good finish.

correct Rogue...which is precisley why Buzzkill came over and said "why did Johnny Gibson just say trauma?"
chalk up another one for the dark cloud over the WoO...tonights proram is off...try again tomorrow - WoO had the night off and the local tracks are still at this point running their regularly scheduled 410 programs.
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

I DID say "drama". . .waited until all other cars had cleared and the 9K had been weighed 3 times before elaborating.

Well, I and most everyone else heard JG say "drama" each and every time.
The only dark cloud is in the minds of the "black helicopter" crowd who have a grudge against or problem with the WoO.
Sorry BRR (and others claiming skullduggery or conspiracy), but you're firing blanks on this one. Nothing to it. The PA boys got beat for the top spots, Saturday may be different. If so, will you still be crying foul??
Be proud of "Your drivers". Don't make excuses for them, because I doubt they'd be doing the same.
Personally, I only wish I could have been there; no matter who won. Sounds like a heckuva night of racing.
Hopefully Eagle will finally get a regular season race in this weekend. 4 straight rain-outs now, but supposed to be sunny and 80 so keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend, and hopefully there are no injuries. Go fast, turn left, but be safe.
I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks
anywhere.

I heard Gib say drama as well - now for the Posse fans I'd say it probably was trauma(tic)...

drama would suggest a script...maybe you are right and this was intended!

Are we talking about the same WoO Officials that DQ'ed Dollansky's first qualifying time for getting on the gas too early before the bridge? What would have been 3rd quick with his new time turned into 18th because of the rules. What blatant favoritism indeed...
Better hope that Schatz doesn't start in the first 6 rows tomorrow because it won't matter what Posse or Outlaw guy is out front cuz he will run them down and take the 12 grand.

the pa boys did better than i expected in time trials and heat races, but feature time did as i predicted. they did put alot of locals in the show, and outlaws in the consi. i said they were stalled out and no one was stepping up, but i guess their all pretty fast and watching them so often you dont notice just how hard it is to get an advantage in todays world. for a race fan, im not gonna move north anytime soon!

What's it pay for heats and time trials?
If the Posse fan hasn't figured out how tough it is with the big dogs ask Lucas. I admire his want to go out and compete with the best because that's the best way to become the best. He could certainly make a lot more money at home and he proved that again last night, think about it. Even the cheerleaders should be figuring out things when you use Lucas as a measuring stick. Paying your dues is generally justly rewarded especially when talent like his is in the equation, props to him. Take It Easy....

My apologies Johnny - from where I was sitting sounded like trauma - to the point that the guy next to me (not BRR) looked at me and ask if he heard "trauma." So we both heard it may have been a garble from the speaker in our section. It certainly sounded odd - I would imagine if The King were dq'd there may have been some trauma on somebody. LOL.

Think Same, think real hard and you figure it out. Put your pom poms down first though and deal with some reality, you'll get it or maybe use the phone a friend card. Take It Easy.....

hey Mulligan - what does "out of provisionals" pay?
old T-Rex was so slow he couldn't dream of putting other cars in the wall last night!
just remember, JG first said "trauma" or "drama" as has been clarified, in reference to the green 11 not making weight initially...then all of the sudden it was the blue 9 who was bud lite.
cheating? just like the 69k and 21 who got shafted by the fuzzy slipper scales that the All Stars carried around? yeah...what a night that was.

Dollansky's first lap that was DQ'd was 16.97 which would have been 23rd. He gained 5 spots by the penalty.

The comment was never intended to refer the the 11. The word came over te radio that the 9K was light at the scales. I said "drama", then waited to make sure the rest of the cars cleared and the 9K was weighed two more times.
