Anyone going to the Whelen Modified show at Bristol Tonight?
I noticed the practice time for Ted Christopher (14.951) was pretty close to the Cup record of 14.09.

I always wondered what these beasts would be like on the high banks of Bristol. I wonder if they are running restrictor plates like they do at New Hampshire?

It's supposed to be on Speed tonight.

Looks like Ryan Newman is racing in it.

I guess they will be running restrictor plates.
The Youtube clip of Ted Christopher doesn't sound like he's lifting. That means bump drafting.

The plates are stupid.  Speed showed more stupidity by cutting out 20 laps of coverage.
