Good interview. Still reckon should be no late entries after a certain date. Or especially once racing starts.

or maybe lap behind lol Kyle hasnt got it easy had no practice laps, unfamiar car its tough group to be racing against. have to be impressed with Brads team mate Zach Daum just missed B main by 1 spot, after his DNF qualifier. started 2nd row of B won that. from 18th finished 9th. David Gravel he did alright too in 2nd Abacus racing midget finishing 4th also in B Main. Lack of laps or seat time in that particular car won't affect Larson, there's no one else currently with his ability to drive anything and win in it. Going to be a tough deal for Zach from here. Zach looking go into C Main gonna be tough get into field. Will be intersting last time Kyle ran KK car i dont think he did particulary well. we shall see. what line up for Thursday 3 ex winners Chilli Bowl, Larson and Thorson and Spencer Bayston last years viroc winner. do believe if Bayston doesnt qualify through prelims still go into A main final as promotors pick for winning viroc challenge. Not to forget Brad Mosen is his big night. hopefully he has luck and great run . |

Not one bit surprised to see the Esslingers are struggling and going know where.
The back of a Saturday C-mains is the best result for an Esslinger at this stage

Not one bit surprised to see the Esslingers are struggling and going know where. The back of a Saturday C-mains is the best result for an Esslinger at this stage Can you elaborate on that? Why are they being left behind and who is leading the pack at present? Cheers How far would you like me to elaborate on it for you? Approximately 78 Esslingers are entered in this event out of 375 entries so around 21%. So far only 10% of the preliminary night fields have been Esslingers. The best finisher to date was 12th putting them near the back of a Saturday C-main and the rest all in D's and E's. The Esslingers simple don't have what it takes to be competitive anymore, they have been left behind by everything else. Even the hand full of new Engler Stealths are getting better results. The TRD's and Mopar's have been dominating Midget racing the last half dozen years or more. The Esslinger have been left well behind the rest of the pack and need to look in a new direction if they want to become competitive again and not just an also ran like they are at the moment. |

Tortoises don't win midget races 🤣🤣
Mosen off the front of heat #1 so will need the win to lock in to 105 passing points to get his night moving forward.

Tom Harris Chili bowl is pretty much over after 3 laps.
Mosen got the win and 105 points.
He will need 120+ points from.his qualifier to be on the front row of the A-main

Tom Harris Chili bowl is pretty much over after 3 laps. Mosen got the win and 105 points. He will need 120+ points from.his qualifier to be on the front row of the A-main Mosen is in the same position Pickens was on night one. Highly unlikely he would make the front row even with an A-Qualifier win as others have more opportunity to gain points. Will need to find some pace as the night continues, had two guys on his tail by the end of the heat. Those guys whilst being good drivers are probably not going to be contending for the A-Main win tonight. Harris will have to come through the prelim soup. I was there some years ago when both Pickens and Thorson had to do the same on a qualifying night. Both made it to the prelim A-Main. It's do-able but Harris will need to pass a lot of cars. |
