Could the track post the official results in all classes?? Sometimes you can attract more fans if we knew what was going on and who was there.

[dirtracer23]

they are posted on their website.but i agree with you ,it's usually hard to get results from them!

I wonder why they have 7 out of 15 cars in the NeSmith crate series results listed as DNS because if you look at the Green Valley results most of them were there. So why would they even be listed on Ft Payne's results page? Looks like they had about 8 crates and listed 15. Curious?

This was the make up race from the power outage a couple of weeks ago. The DNS guys didn't show back up.

[widrace]

ok that makes sense. thanks

If the guys did not show back up to race why did the drivers get double points for 15 cars when they should have got points for a field of an 8 car count.I thought they were suppose to get points by the car count that showed up? some one enlighten me on what happened

It is a little unfair to the drivers at TST and GreenValley that Fort Payne, Penton, and EAMS have had so many double point races. The drivers from TST and GreenValley have earned every point that they have there is no double points that has gotten them to where they are! Yes, TST is having a double points this weekend, it is not because the track wants to but it is simply because they are trying to help there locals out to keep it a little fair. The only reason all of these other tracks plus NeSmith is letting them have these is because it is putting more money in there pockets. It cost $20 instead of $10 per driver and that money is going directly to NeSmith. I feel the reason that NeSmith is having so many double points at Fort Payne is so that they can say, that the east region winner comes from there home track. What was wrong with the way things were run the past two year it was going good and the winner earned every point and won because he had the best finishes and was crowned the rightful winner. I would really like to know why they are not doing double points in the west region? They know who they want to win so why don't we all just stop trying our hardest and let them just crown the person they want to win. I am not trying to say nothing bad about any of the drivers but I do feel there is no need for double points. You should have to earn every point and every win! You should not get points for two wins when you only got one win. Them adding extra cars to make there car count go up, well we want go there because we all know that was unfair and so do they! I would like to know what everyone else thinks of this matter?

~i really dont know that much about nesmith to talk about it, but i do know that the reason FPMS had 3 weeks of double points is bc in the nesmith contract a track has to have so many races and if you have double points its counts as 2 races as you stated above. so they did it to help[ fill their quota. sorry i cant help more!~

[swingblade]

Nesmith has had so many double points races at Penton and East Alabama due to the rain outs they have had. How can you compete for region points if your home track you run has 8 races and another track has 20? So the double points helps make up for the difference. Actually it can help or hurt a driver. If I finish last in a double points race thats 2 last place finishes. But chances are the next week i might get a top 5. So im getting two last place finishes when under normal cicrumstances I could possibly have a last place finish and a better finish

I understand that, but how is it fair that a driver gets full points for a car count of 15 when there was only 8 cars there? How fair is that, because it is not fair at all! The points you get is suppose to be based on how many cars are there not on how many they decide to throw in there just to make there car count hirer to help the winner get more points. It is also funny how the last three years that Nesmith has been around there have been rain outs but they have not started this until this year. So what did the cars do before, they went to other tracks around them! There is TST, GreenValley, and many others around here that is not fare away from each other. What does the west region due, do they just not have rain outs? They don't have double points. Why is it fair that a driver goes to double point races and gets say 4 wins really but since it was double points it shows 8 wins. While the other drivers are working hard to earn EVERY point and win they have at there home track but gets beat because of the driver that got 8 wins because it was double points. So how fair is that? Fort Payne did not open until after the season had started so where did the drivers go before? I am not trying to get in an argument, I am just stating facts and whats fair is fair and whats not is not!

You’re exactly right, the series awards points on a step system for car counts 10 and under, and car counts over 14. Let’s use Blake for an example. On the double points night, which he won, if Marvin claims 14 or greater cars that night Blake would receive 100 points. If Marvin claims the actual number of cars there, which was 8, Blake would receive 80 points. Twenty points would be huge since they only count 16 races. I’m sure some of you internet savvy folks can find out if Blake’s points jumped 80 or 100 points that week. If it was 100 you might want to notify some the other drivers so they can point it out to the series.

if that were the case Blakes points wouldnt jump by that many points. They would only jump the differnce between the points he received for the win and the points of the races he "threw away" by replacing them with the wins. So in reality he wouldnt have gained 80 or 100 points. Probably more in the neighborhood of 10-20 if even that many.

Regardless someone from Nesmith should address these concerns before this gets out of hand. Getting the correct info is the only way to stop the rumors.
