I wonder if the late models that got DQ’d last race will be there on Sunday or did they take their ball and go home for the year.
I’m betting they’ll be there and one of them will win.
And who is it that may win Rich
Matt Lowinski-Loh !!!!!!
Any of them. Take Brent Gleason as an example in the sportsman. DQ one week, win the next.
We will see can’t win if they are not there
Shawn are you sure the MTS is having an event at the Waterford Speedbowl? lol
You sure wouldn’t know it by checking the homepage of the Speedbowl’s website. The only headlines featured are the cancellation from last Sunday’s Back to School Bash and this weeks postponement of the Wacky Wednesday event.
Have you or anyone else seen an entry list for this weeks MTS event? I would think one would be posted by MTS and the racetracks website and facebook pages if they really wanted fans to attend. I have looked at both websites and can’t find one. It sure looks like a trip to Seekonk for this fan, as $30 is way too much of a gamble for an event that may not be worth the ticket price.
26 cars entered. Posted on the mts facebook page around 1:30 this afternoon. Took me all of 5 seconds to find. Should be a great show.
Rich, I looked at the MTS fb page ( https://www.facebook.com/EXITRealtyMTS/ ) and can’t find the entry list. Can you please elaborate where you found it? Thanks
The page I found was modified touring series not the exit realty modified touring series. The one you found is different, maybe an old one, not sure.
Rich,
Actually the Facebook page you were referring to where that list was posted is a private group page for the series where individuals must request permission to join the group. They also have a public page for the series. I’m not sure why it wasn’t posted on their public page, but it was only posted on the private group page. I think that’s what the confusion is about.
Shawn, thanks for the clarification. I guess you need to be approved by the MTS to see who is expected to be racing at their events? Sure doesn’t make sense to me, especially since the event has a $30 ticket price. I guess I’m old school and new to this whole social media way of advertising an event. Any I just got home from Seekonk and had a great night of entertainment for only $14.
